1. Well, not to be too nit picky about it, but you're blaming them

I will agree that there is more than an even chance this old fool was a regular Fox news viewer. Judging from his mug shot anyway.

But we really don't know that for sure. At this point all we know is he panicked when he saq a car full of "them" in his driveway and shot one of them out of fear. We don't know what caused or fed the panic that he felt at the time.

I have no objection to placing blame where it belongs once we learn the truth about Mr Sailors. But let's wait until all the facts are known.
