For some unfathomable reason, the tragedy that unfolded in the US a few days ago (a crazy young man with an assault weapon opened fire and killed a number of people and nearly killed a US Congresswoman) is being attributed by some commentators to the vitriolic political rhetoric in the US. In fact this is the main topic of discussion with respect to the event in the US news...rather than, for example, why is it so easy for ANYONE to get their hands on an assault weapon....or how and why individuals like this exist and what (if anything) can be done to prevent them from harming others.
Hello? Are we to believe the shooter would not have been a danger if the political discussions in the US were more cordial?
I find it rather disturbing that this irrational and nonsensical discussion is taken seriously while the REAL issues are completely ignored.
