Nobody could possibly say that anybody but the man who fired the gun is ultimately responsible for this. But people who take up a role in politics, and therefore step up to be amongst the nations leaders and opinion formers, have a responsibility not to knowingly fan the flames of violence and political intolerance. To my mind that is a very basic responsibility for those who would seek any role in governance. Your word carries a different weight to the words of others.
