Insanity

I've seen the headline, "Unspeakable Tragedy" about the murder of six people in Arizona, and the wounding of many others. One who was gravely wounded is Gabrielle Giffords, a congresswoman.

This is not a "tragedy" -- it's a CRIME! It's a criminal act by another person, not a flood, earthquake, or tornado -- it's a crime.

It's time we looked directly at actions like these. These are criminal acts, often done by folks who have an agenda -- like those who kill abortion providers, bomb their clinics, or kill gay or lesbian folks. These are all CRIMES!

Now, I understand "some animals are more equal than others" here in the good old USA. Kill a hooker and you just might get away with it. But, the ultimate truth is -- ALL MURDERS ARE CRIMES. The culprits must be caught, must be punished.

Whether this is an act of right-wing insanity, an act of regular insanity, or just a desire to kill folks -- we have to protect ourselves, and society from such events.

This is insane.
