10. I'm extremely distressed at the DU trend to make this all about The Other...

Whether they define The Other as Muslim in America, or Fundamentalist Christian, or all Christians. It just goes on and on today. It's bigoted and it's sickening.

We already know the basic perp in these massacres is a white male American of Christian heritage, whose parents are American-born.

The common thread is: male with a grudge, with lots of ammo.

Don't talk to me any more about mental illness.

Talk to me about how to take away the one thing that enables the enraged or disordered male to walk into an elementary school and kill all the little first-graders, or walk into a night club and kill all the people just out for a good time.

Please, please, please. This isn't The Other. It's US.
