and have a fair idea of whether they think z is guilty.

mark geragos was right. it's a big problem when people interpret innocence and guilt by recourse to the things they walk in the door with. rather than the facts of the case.

political division swallows all sorts of things as it metastasizes.

of course there are problems with us gun law. but that doesn't make z guilty. if a society chooses to write asinine laws, why should it be outraged that individuals live by them?

if even the mass shootings at a primary school result in no changes to the law, then there is a problem with the way the political system runs.

the thing that is the root of the problem once again is the inability to affect change. and the reason for that is a sanctified constitution designed to resist real time good sense.

z isn't the problem. but having folks wandering around with guns is a recipe for a violent society. focussing the rage on z misses the real issue.
