"At some point as a country, we have to reckon with what happens. It's not enough to express sympathy. You don't see this kind of murder, on this scale, with this kind of frequency in other advanced countries on earth." - President Obama.

    Errrr... a politician, who obviously had probability of 9/n. of attendees to get shot, got shot. The assassin's identity was not known yet the act had already been classified as a racist shooting. How naive not to consider other possibilities, even if the racist one is the right one.

    Mafia style warnings done as mass kilings happened at least once here in Italy. To your credit, only few news sources discussed the obvious signs that linked the killer to the ndrangheta families, while all the rest came up with the same pointless discussion about gun control. I am all for global disarm but people wielding the most powerful weapon, $, that discuss gun control are hilarious.
