Geez, you guys jump all over CptSimFreak making a minor reference to a popularly-known issue in Arizona politics, without any alignment, and then devolve into politicking and aligning a completely unidentified assassin with parties and sociopolitical leanings. For shame, especially in this tragedy
Really, stop this and think about the human side of this for a second.
My hunch is that the motivation for this is, as with many of these shootings by young people, a delusion of grandeur and thirst for instant celebrity. Herostratus' fame, etc.
