A troubled man with a gun

Pentagon shooting suspect

"The shooter, identified by a law enforcement source as John Patrick Bedell, appears to be a man who had railed against the government repeatedly on the Internet."

This sad story suggests the culture of heated opinion which the internet fosters and lack of reasonable gun control is a dangerous combination. May you rest in peace now Mr. Bedell - in a better world you might have had supportive access to mental health care before becoming a danger to yourself and others.
