Sigh. My heart goes out to the families and friends of all those involved. Place one crazy person into an area with lots of people (school, train station, shopping center) and stuff like this can happen. It is one of the really tragic prices of enjoying our freedoms. The only real prevention is to limit freedoms, and I'm not willing to do that - I'll take my chances.

As mentioned, the media will now move away from trying to strip us of our 1st amendment rights with the Don Imus mess, and will now turn their focus to trying to remove our 2nd amendment rights.

I am anything but extreme on my political focus, but I find the media's tendancy to politicise just about everything almost unbearable.
