First, Ms. Poplawski is to blame...she opened the door.

Second, people do dumb things. You are about to witness more suicides and serious problems than this country has seen since the "Great Depression".....seriously.

It's sad.

Two more mass shootings - who is to blame?

I'm surpised Michael Laprarie didn't try to blame Obama. The authors on this site are usually so creative when it comes to criticizing Obama, it is suprising Michael did not even try to spin it in that direction.

Perhaps because, Sea, we can recognize reality when we see it, and place blame (or credit) accordingly.

JLawson is correct sea. You liberals are the ones that look to blame all the time. You love to label people. Put them in a little box to make yourself feel better. Who is to blame for this? Mental illness. ww

"Who is to blame for this? Mental illness"

Exactly.

Except for those out to score cheap political points.

Sometimes, tragedies happen and all you can do is sit there and wonder if there is any order, or, indeed, any justice in the world.

These men are not robot or zombies. They are thinking adults who have the capacity to make decisions. Unless it found out that they have real mental issues, the blame rest on the men who pulled the trigger.

Often time we try and find things to excuse evil in the world. We try and blame other factors. The danger in doing this is forgetting that man is an animal that can make good charitable decision and monstrous ones of their own free will.

When we try to forget the monster lies within, it becomes easy to say things like terrorist are not really evil they are victims, or gang members are misunderstood they are only doing it because of their social economic status.

So lets put the blame of these monstrous actions on the monsters unless we find other real factors like they were on anti-psychotic drugs which did not allow them to make decisions.

Blaming this shooting on Right Wing radio is like blaming cancer on the nicotine in cigarettes. It's not really provable but common sense says otherwise.

Here is more NON-evidence in another case:

AB, hatred for the liberal movement equates with killing cops how? You are usually inane in your comments but that was plain stupid. ww

These fellows turned to violence as well. It appears they are simple racists but that's not really provable:

"hatred for the liberal movement equates with killing cops how?"

I said (see # 8) you can't prove the connection.

Nicotine does not cause cancer, AB. Tar, arsenic, lead and a dozen other things in cigarettes can, but not nicotine.

So, you're right. Blaming talk radio is like blaming nicotine.

The blame goes to the person who committed the shooting. There is such a thing as evil and some people just choose to go down that path in life.
However, it is the liberals m.o. for every negative action there is someone to blame. Trying to blame talk radio or anything else is just silly and not worth listening to people who said so.
EX:If a man goes crazy in public because his wife left him, is it is wife's fault...NO!!!!!!

I see where Adrian's simple mind still looks for simple solutions. Pity.

I don't blame anyone but the nuts themselves, but the multiple incidents should be addressed by the leaders of the right wing. Tone it down.

The Arkansas Shooter:

This was a symbolic killing. Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate & House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg's book. I'd like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I know those people were inaccessible to me. I couldn't get to the generals & high ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chickenshit liberals that vote in these traitorous people. Someone had to get the ball rolling. I volunteered. I hope others do the same. It's the only way we can rid America of this cancerous pestilence.

The Dirty Bomber who was murdered by his wife:

Amber Cummings reportedly told police that her husband was "very upset" over Barack Obama being elected president, had been in contact with white supremacist groups, and that he'd been mixing chemicals in their kitchen sink while talking about dirty bombs.

Also, the Free Republic blogger who sent white powder to multiple libruls.

And now this bitter and bitterly misinformed shooter who clung to his guns...

You would think that after McVeigh the tone would be a bit softer, but no, you still here calls for armed revolution (seriously) by popular right wingers. (This includes talk shows and congresspersons like Bachmann)

Evil exist just as good exist. A person can freely chose to do a beneficial act to another person this is good. Someone can choose to do a harmful act to another person that is evil an evil act. Both choices are done by the person of their own free will and the consequences of both choices should be weighted the same.

In both cases the person who has no mental impairment and has full control of his facilities should be held accountable. If he does good maybe he get some praise. If he does evil then he gets condemnation.

Yes the shooter is to blame. However to recognize the situations and events that contribute to discontent has it purposes. There will always going be those few that will go ballistic regardless of situation of the world. However when those numbers start to drastically increase, it would be wise to take notice. It is a tough to determine will to draw the line of when to do something and when not to.

Example slum kids getting involve with crime because they don't see any way else out. Are they responsible for their crimes? Yes and they shouldn't get off easy because they are from a slum. However there is nothing wrong with trying to educate them on other options or coming up with other solutions to improve their situations.

My concern is not with the occasional nutcases that like any crime, you will never be able to prevent but when it does get to a point when the numbers increase because of oppressive government and regulations that many will pass it off as just some nutcases and won't address their concerns.

That's right, let's bash right wingers for every
shooting. But let us never bring up William
Ayers and his criminal partner Dorhn who were
planning on overthrowing our constitution,
rounding up about 25 million people they
considered unacceptable, committing genocide.
The only person responsible for those killings
are the shooters.

Guilty as hell, and free as a bird

Blaming this shooting on Right Wing radio is like blaming cancer on the nicotine in cigarettes. It's not really provable but common sense says otherwise.

So does this mean I can blame the Unabombings on Al Gore? Cool!

Another example we hear it 1 out of 10 or sometime 1 out of 5. In both case the majority do not turn to the gangs. Which indicates that it is still a choice.

I don't blame anyone but the nuts themselves, but the multiple incidents should be addressed by the leaders of the right wing. Tone it down.

So where were your cries of "tone it down" during the last eight years of calls to assassinate President Bush coming from nutbags on the left? Hell, you even had moonbats writing plays about killing Bush and I don't recall hearing a peep of protest from you.

"That's right, let's bash right wingers for every
shooting."

Nobody is saying that, but don't let the truth get in the way of your insane persecution complex.

max,
Your attempt at using spiel speak is not
effective. Whirled peas maybe.

Stupid pathetic liberal dunderheads will lay the blame on ether the gun makers or the NRA knowing how stupid and irresponible they are when its stupid blubberheaded liberals that are responible

http://washingtonindependent.com/37360/scenes-from-the-real-america

Is this what gun shows are really like? Frightening.

(And apparently this latest shooter posted Glenn Beck videos on Stormfront, a rabid right-wing site)

Hcddbz
Not sure if you had a point beyond that everyone has a choice. 1 out of 5 or even 1 out of 10 are not good numbers. The idea that if it doesn't matter unless it matters to the majority is asinine. 1 out of 5 can cause a great deal of problems for the other 4. 1 out of 5 is often enough to rule a neighborhood or a country.
Regardless, I think 1 out of 5 in a neighborhood turning to crime is way too high and shows a problem. It would be worth some time and effort to determine if there are ways to decrease that number. FYI I think many of the liberals ideas are not grounded in reality. Should we let the criminals off the hook? No. Should we try changing some of their attitudes and environment? Yes.

One more point. I have seen many supposedly high morality and confident individuals throw away that morality in a heartbeat when they found themselves in a so call tough situation.

Is this what gun shows are really like? Frightening.

I don't see that much difference between that, and loony-left protest marches in SF or NY with their big, paper-mache' puppet-heads of George Bush and Condi Rice and the presence of all sorts of loony-left nuts, i.e. commie nuts, green nuts, feminist nuts, hate-israel nuts, etc. Perhaps you'd be more comfortable there.

Adrian!! Stop posting as You are already over the legal limit in record time at -36.

"I don't see that much difference between that, and loony-left protest"

The loony-left protests are usually more violent and have angry screaming people running around causing trouble. The left destroys other people nice cars out of anger and the gun show people used an old junk car for target practice not destroying it out of anger.

I believe society is to blame for some of this mess...This guy was into white power. His myspace showed it and i read some of his stuff on stormfront which i assume is right wing online whatever that practices hate towards blacks and jews... Im a republican and a conservative but i am not a right wing nut. This kid was being influenced by these other wacko's and its been going on for awhile. Kids are so influenced today by what they hear and alot of them take it all in and really start believing this stuff. You have alot of left wing nuts that teach colleges and unfluence these kids who are trying to find a place in life and you have these right winged nuts who preach nothing buy hate towards jewish people and african americans. I read some of his stuff and its hateful and im thinking wow i cant even believe this.. I grew up 3 blocks from where he lived and im telling you it was all white back then not like it is now where its mixed but im tellin you if i would of even thought about calling a black person the n word or shouting hate remarks at jewish people my butt would of been sore for a week because my parents would of beat it bad...Thats one of the problems today you take parents out of discipilining their children and raising them correctly and these kids have the rule now. Im a firm believer in showing my child love, guidance and support but my kids ever showed rage like this guy grew up showing id knock the crap out of him quicker than he could say what are you doing. My husband and I have been together for 21 yrs and i thank God we put our children first and have managed to stay together for all those years through good and bad and i realize life isnt like this for everyone but i believe children grow up to be whatever was instilled in them as children and their homelife..most grow up and do what they can to survive in this world and do the best they can but others turn out to be confused and influenced by this crap that these crazy people want them to believe in and this is how it turns out. 3 lives were taken by something as senseless as an arguement over a dog urinating in the house. Im completely at lost as to what society is becoming.

Who is to blame? The Americans themselves. It was always a violent nation, a "cowboy nation". Each time they don't like something, they just kill. Bush did the same. Bush and Cheney are the perfect example of violent individuals. Children disappear every day in the U.S. What have they done? Nothing, they become the sole victims to the American violence. Gun control? It will never happen. Americans love their guns as much as they love their junk foods and their 6-pack.

luisa da silva - "Bush did the same. Bush and Cheney are the perfect example of violent individuals."

You forgot to add a few [dems] didn't you?

Like Clinton, FDR (WW2), Truman (Korean war), Johnson (Vietnam) dems one and all.

Not to mention the current War-Monger-in-Chief/ChickenHawk.

Da silva

Lay off the tequilla.

JLawson is correct sea. You liberals are the ones that look to blame all the time. You love to label people. Put them in a little box to make yourself feel better. Who is to blame for this? Mental illness. ww

WildWillie,

The word liberal is a label!!!!

You are doing exactly what you accuse liberals of doing!!!!

But than, if you truely were not into labeling and blaiming people than you would not visit this site. Virtually every article on this site labels and blames democrats for one thing or another.

There is a new political leader who is going to be in power and he will fix this problem. he came out with a movie to show his plans and it is catching on like wild fire. I agree with everything he says. look and see for yourself www.dictatormovie.com

Go to any prison and ask the inmates what political party they identify with. Go ahead, do it.

Oyster, go to any KKK meeting and ask your comrades what political party they identify with.

"Oyster, go to any KKK meeting and ask your comrades what political party they identify with."

The answer Would have to be...The democrats in the senate.

The KKK is masonic in origin and non-partisan. A familiar ritual would be the cremation of care, which all political affiliations take part in. The costumes, the noose, the flaming cross are all part of the sinister masonic ritual:

I love how the left claims the KKK is right wing when they are the party of Robert Byrd. The hypocrisy knows no bounds.

"Oyster, go to any KKK meeting and ask your comrades what political party they identify with."

That was cute. My comrades, eh?

My point, you moron, was that I think you'll find that they won't identify with any party.
