Yeah, the Fareed who was reinstated within a week. I'm more conflicted about the recommendations on Piers "Morgan" Moron. Should he stay here, where I might accidentally see him on TV, or be sent back to afflict my long-suffering compatriots? A couple of reasonable comments about guns and being shouted at by Alex Jones do not atone for a working lifetime of mendacity.

John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo had a total of 17 victims, and Muhammad had an Expert Rifleman badge, and didn't tell the world who he was before he started terrorizing everyone anywhere near our nation's capital. On the other hand, his training was less recent, his arsenal was smaller in more ways than one, and he had a kid in tow.

Based on his manifesto I'd support him for Congress if he hadn't become a spree killer.

It didn't start well either, and the middle is pretty sucky too.

His manifesto may be rambling, but it's more coherent than Sarah Palin. This is no Jared Loughner. From the way the psychiatrist treating a close family member (thankfully now fully recovered) in the recent past put it, someone suffering from schizophrenia would not be able to put that many words together without telltale signs that are absent from this writing. So my entirely untrained armchair diagnosis would be that you can rule out a cognitive disorder of the kind most people normally think when you say "mental illness".

If only those LAPD guys had been armed and trained...

I can't say I am. I'm hoping that the paradox in "gun-control advocate goes on shooting spree" is such an affront to reason that even the Foxcubs will have to recognize that this man has a very strange psyche and this story can't be shoehorned into their agenda. I also expect to be disappointed.

Whitman only killed 14. I can't compare the level of training; you'd know. Plus he was stuck up a tower, so maybe not that relevant.

I know, right - how hard could it be?

I'm pretty sure I'm lost somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's not there, because I really want to be found, and taken somewhere where I'm not hearing a constant stream of reports of murder with guns.

Seems like the only rational response right now.

Yeah, his manifesto could really use punching up.
