The bitch is people who don't use their first amendment rights sensibly.

Is that the First Amendment you want to squash for people you disagree with?

It's just not going to matter how bat-shit insane the killer is, you will apply your narrative to it anyway.

The problem is BOTH sides will blame the other and the rift continues and the violence will escalate

Why do you think the violence will escalate. To date there is no evidence this act was purely politically motivated. Sounds more like a mental illness issue.

Keep your eye on the news. By those signs Pico posted there seems to be allot of mental illness in this country. Pretending you don't see doesn't mean it isn't so...

Ok. I will watch for it. But I don't believe that because we have "allot of mental illness in this country" that it is an indication that we are suddenly going to see people running around shooting more Congressmen and Women.

I would hope that it would contribute to ending the hostile and violent rhetoric in politics.

Yeah, their rhetoric is the fucking elephant in the room after an event like this.

Interestingly, my narrative IS that the killer is bat-shit insane.

CooCoo for Coco Puffs.

There aren't going to end up being any reasons that a reasonable person would understand, if the postings on youtube are correctly attributed to the shooter.
