However I disagree with it. In my opinion it's no coincidence that this heinous event happened in Arizona. And you can try to convince me all you want that this was simply a mentally unstable person carrying out their own act of violence but I don't for a second believe that. As far as I'm concerned the broader discussion is far more a social one than a political one but there's more to it than simply a crazed social misfit with a gun. Be that as it may - I stand by my opinion and I'm confident that it's valid.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695864068826692539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667585281200430600.post-84105470308016453062011-01-14T08:16:37.570-08:002011-01-14T08:16:37.570-08:00Having grown up with a mentally ill brother myself...Having grown up with a mentally ill brother myself, to attribute anything they think or do to the real world shows either a lack of any real understanding of serious mental illness or simply a desire to shoe horn a tragic event to fit into a view you already hold.<br /><br />Before he had even been arraigned or anyone knew his name, before an accurate body count was known, before the true health status of Giffords was known, before anyone knew anything beyond a shooting had taken place and a Democratic official had been shot, the left, along with the media was blaming the right.<br /><br />The only root cause was his mental illness. His friends and others who know him prove that out. <br /><br />The shooter is sick, mentally ill, that's why the shooting happened not because of anything going on in the real world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
