Clear thinking at last
Jan. 11th, 2011 09:48 pmThoughts on Tucson, by Conservative constituency executive member Brent Cameron, a rare breed of political activist who is level headed rather than rabid. I don't agree with everything he says (understatement of the year), but I do know that a copy of this essay should be on the front page of every newspaper in America. His last words are especially true:
I don't know what makes Jared Lee Loughner tick. I don't know what combination of life experiences, induction, influences and brain chemistry created this debased mind who killed without emotion or mercy. It's likely that I'll never know.
What I do know is that people died, people are fighting for their lives, and those closest to them are in a great deal of emotional pain.
Anyone who tells you they know more than that either has the ability to look fully into a killer's soul, or they are lying.
You decide.
