Lynch mobs- even virtual lynch mobs- freak me out.
I want to know the facts before passing judgment. In fact, I think that's a liberal value.

2. I just heard for the second time on KOLD's live stream that eyewitnesses say
the shooter was in his late teens/early twenties.

4. Agreed.
We need more information before we jump to conclusions. Not DUs strong suit.

15. I'm not talking about speculation. I'm talking about people who have already had
their opinions fixed in cement- without the facts.

20. A lot of people are using a very certain tone
Recklessly sure of their conclusions - not likely to even believe the news if it comes out different than their speculation.

25. People are angry -
But I agree it will be interesting to see what comes out. Shooter is clearly mentally ill, but there are a few mentions that it could be a LaRouche follower just as easily as Palin, and that didn't seem out of the realm of possibility to me.
