7. His comments were not insensitive, he pointed out the truth about a guy who promoted hate, why try to hide it?

He also pointed out a truth, hate brings hate, the media should never give a platform to people who promote division, hate, let them find their own places where they can do their dirty work, but don't promote it by showing them on TV.

Shame on the network, but of course they have no shame, their cowardice does not allow it.

What a world we live in where people want to place someone who promoted hate, who tried to influence young people into becoming hateful, racists, and other awful things, onto a pedestal, as if he was someone who benefited society in any way.

I do not condone violence, but we have not heard the truth on why he became a target, and hopefully we will, but I am puzzled at the fact that a shooter with that kind of skills has to be someone who was trained in the military for ages in order to become that good at shooting a rifle. We are talking about 200 yards, multiply that by 3 and you have 600 feet, to be able to put a bullet at anything from that distance you have to have very special skill, and a very special gun.

We will start hearing all kinds of ideas on why it happened, and I have, as many of you most probably have, that he was used as a distraction? Maybe, who knows...will we ever hear the truth about what happened?

And last, now that one of the republican people have been the victim of gun violence, will this encourage them to pass gun laws? I don't expect them to, but one can hope.
