Pusilanimous couch potatoes will not see the signs of revolution in the US even if it boxed their ears. This event more likely is secondary to having guns in the hands of confused ignorant unstable indivuals who conveniently may fit a criteria in the DSMV-4 psychology manual of diagnosis. Also it is somehow societies fault for not “voicing” their obvservations of aberant behavior earlier.
The media will paint any social unrest at a political event resulting in injury or death as an ‘assasination attempt’.

I do think this mad dog deserves to be put down, given the fact that we already know without a doubt and witnessed what he did, and the fact that it was premeditated. But I am alittle suspicous that this picture of him is the only one anyone has seen from the media. Is there another agenda at work showing us all this poster boy for capital punishment ?

The day after the funerals he should have been tried,convicted and then executed. This is another sign of our totally dysfunctional government/justice system. The victims and their families suffer a grave injustice. The citizens and tax payers bear the burden of incarcerating this murderer all so some misguided people can feel they are compassionate. Corrupt lawyers,judges and ‘journalists’ from the ‘news’ media will make big bucks sensationalizing this event.

What’s prejudicial? Plenty of witnesses saw this asshole do what he did. The “trial” should take an hour and he ought to be in the ground the next day at the latest.

I agree that this photo is probably prejudicial in the eyes of most people—unless that is really what he looks like. To judge that, one would have to see other photos. That means that withholding other photos is an act that could prejudice his trial, hence unfair—even though he has pled guilty(because of insanity? or what?)
Report thisNo matter what, this case is going to be one tough call for defense attorneys!

Maybe California can do a better job of keeping guns out of his hands.
