Immiediately after the shooting, the korean community has braced themselves for a racial backlash. Already words of hatred have been found in blogs and facebook. I think these people are utterly ridiculous.
Anyone with half a brain knows they cannot classify all korans with this obviously disturbed, now dead, shooter who committed this heinous crime. But as many of you know, most people lack a half a brain (or choose not to use it) and therefore cannot use their God given common sense.
But this shooting has also brought every "ban guns" lobby to the fore. Let us not be hasty. Now, while i have read up on current gun laws in most states, I have come to the conclusion that strict gun laws should be made and enforced...but BANNED? Let us see how long that one lasts especially with the states bordering Mexico. If they cannot stop illeagal drugs then how do they think they will also stop people from buying guns and bringing them back over the border. I know the solution: Border Protection! Real Border Protection! Oh, but wait, that brings up sensitive issues that the same people from the anti-gun lobby do not want to face. Ignorance is bliss, right?Anyway that is a completely different issue...
Back to the story at hand. Europeans, who like to sit on the moral pedastol of life, are having a field day with this although, last time I looked they had many problems themselves. But, once again, we, as Americans, are the only ones subject to these social problems. Right...shall we google the problems Italy and most particulary France have been having? I will take my "gun culture" over theirs anyday.
So, "moral" of the story everyone (although I did not really expand on it): use your brain, do not judge (yet practice caution), act upon warning signs, and please do not stoop to some bigot's level and start hating. It just makes you look pathetic.
