They ~New Orleans Slate
~Meanwhile I'm still curious. I'm asking the same questions I asked when
Cho/Loughner/Holmes/Lanza pointed guns at people. What went wrong? Why
didn't someone notice a problem? What makes a young man that alienated,
that marginalized, that cold and heartless? I see a video, it's jerky. A
young black man in a white shirt and blue jeans steps out from next to a
stoop near a corner, raises his hand, points the gun at people dancing
in the street, suddenly the people scatter, some falling hard on the
ground. He turns and runs, not looking back. That's calculated, like the
others. That's planned, like the others. Young men aged 19-25 with
guns, just like the others with only one obvious difference.
