I repeat, surely you and Lucky aren't arguing I was wrong (about his being unhinged - mentally deranged) and Bill's political motive theory was right because I called him a kid and he's an adult. Are you? I've already explained why a political motive makes no sense and why that was fairly obvious from at least Monday afternoon. It is also fairly obvious to anyone watching or reading the news reports that the shooter was deranged. But for some odd reason, y'all want to argue about whether it is appropriate to call him a kid. Why? What difference does it make? Does his being an adult mean he had some political motive? What is the point of arguing with the word 'kid'? As for "You are sounding more and more like the self-important, pseudo-intellectuals who frequent the alleged center", maybe we're getting to the heart of the problem. Did I step off the reservation by posting over there? By daring to disagree with the group gun rights consensus that "more guns will make us safer"? Sorry, mph. I generally respect your views, but when I disagree with someone here I'm not going to hesitate to say so just to fit in. And when I see people here whose views I also generally respect and agree with (except for longnshort, of course) spouting conspiracy theories and partisan nonsense I'm going to call it conspiracy theories and partisan nonsense. If that makes you want to call me names, so be it.
