So we have the guy's youtube channel, on which his manifesto is posted.

His motivation was to use the mind control powers granted to him by his new English grammar.

So, you see, he was neither left nor right, but merely a crazy person.  I think some people may want to retract some of their earlier comments.

A person being obviously crazy doesn't excuse the rhetoric that encouraged him. Assassinations and assassination attempts on congresspeople are rare occurrences. I refuse to believe that in a time where the right-wing has been using alot of borderline rhetoric, that this is a coincidence. A person doesn't need to have an "I Purple heart Palin" t-shirt for the rhetoric going on right now in the political environment to be at fault.

The vast majority of people who try to kill anyone in politics or anyone in general for political are usually crazy. It excuses nothing. I'm not trying to blame specific people as the ones at fault necessarily, I'm blaming the rhetoric as what is at fault, and all those who excuse it.

Gunplay and death threats shouldn't be the new normal in politics and people shouldn't try to excuse it as "free speech." These things have consequences, as exemplified by today.

Most of the rhetoric on the right simply isn't necessary. It's as simple as that. Can't we all agree on that and go from there?

Meanwhile, the entirety of the rhetoric from Marokai simply isn't necessary.

If it turns out though that police find on his computer that he read Sarah PAC's targets the situation should be clear and Palin should be prosecuted for helping to conduct a murderous event and thrown in prison. At least if she runs for President now, the Left will have some good arguments to stop this bytch now. And I also hope that centrist or center-left Americans have the courage to stop her, just like Austrians stopped the fanatic Nazi Barbara Rosenkranz in her quest to Presidency last year. Either this, or you'll get another Bush, or even worse ...

In that case, would this incident be the "Reichstag fire" needed to put Palin in prison?

Hillary Clinton:  Isn't she the one who wants to ban video games?
