Unless, of course, you attribute mental illness to all the young men who are shooting up everyone from Kirk to Catholic kids praying. I mean, we all know "them boys ain't right," but this kid was indoctrinated in gun culture and groomed in Republicanism and conservative religion. Sadly, these are not considered mental illnesses.

You are correct. I wasn't really thinking and I do know better. Got caught up in all the hysteria this morning.

That should be the scandal here.

Imagine Biden doing such a thing.
