    I remember a popular joke describing a typical stump speech during Rudy's 2008 presidential campaign i.e. it usually included a noun, a verb and 9-11.

    Why does that shock you? Leavenworth exists for a reason.

    Yes, sad. Military service does not provide immunity against despair and hopelessness. In fact, ~ 17-20 vets a day commit suicide (assuming this guy’s intent was suicide).

    Very good point. Look at this guys spiral, Islam included. Moving without belongings. This was a suicide with murder as the vehicle. Unfortunately, not an outlier.

    It applies even more so (probably) to the guy at trump tower.

    weirdness: I quoted WC53 but it shows up as a quote from OklahomaGator. A glitch in the time:space continuum

    It's all baffling. Why anyone wants to kill a bunch of strangers ...
    As far as being a vet, it's hardly the first time. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The DC sniper .. I'm old enough to remember Charles Whitman ...
