Muscatine

Sorry about the first try.   I tried to capitalize the word and something happened.

Are there any comments on the attempted assassination?

Already I've seen/heard others place the blame on the Tea party, guns, talk show hosts, Sarah Palin, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Well, I blame super markets. Ain't that where it happened, in front of a super market? Blaming super markets makes just as much sense as what we're hearing from the likes of Brian Williams and every other a**hole on network news.

Like everyone else, I'm sick that this had to happen.

If it would have happened in front of a walmart, the left would part of the blame on them.

The person who they believe is responsible for the fiasco is obviously a very disturbed individual. As more people come forward to tell of their experiences with him, it becomes clearer that his mental condition was the motivation for his actions. I saw a phychiatrist on tv yesterday explaining how persons who have schizophrenia act and his actions pretty much lined up. Not all react with a shooting rampage mind you, but the disjointed thoughts and actions are certainly indications.

This act would be a tragedy even if none of the victims were nine years old or a well-liked congresswoman.

The biggest tragedy is that until a person with those problems commits a big, terrible act, they don't get the help they so desperately need. When he tried to join the armed forces he was rejected - they can't say why - he was kicked out of the college due to his behaviors and told that he couldn't come back without a mental eval that said he was not a threat - and STILL he is allowed to purchase a semi-automatic gun and no one has the cajones to do something to get him the help he needs. So sad.
