Dorine, Are you being played for a fool? Why are you posting boring non-news in bold? What's the point. That news piece is an obvious plant to try to stir emotion. In a nation with a surplus of tens of millions of guns there are dozens of similar incidents every day. This isn't news. This is propaganda meant to stir emotion. -Ray

Raymonds basic point is well taken, i.e. that the guy in the story may have had no intention what-so-ever of doing anyone any harm. Raymonds deeper point, of course, is pure B.S. That police did in fact arrest this man is news. Should it be determined that nothing foul was afoot, the story will remain small. The story is almost certainly no plant, the guy involved is almost certainly unrelated to any plan to tear at heartstrings, and the reporting of the incident almost certainly has nothing to do with any desire to stir emotions in favor of our President. Raymond, of course, is a fanatic dreaming of fantasy, as usual. Dan B
