It would be wise, I believe, on DU, to avoid attacking victims

[Kleveland]

52. We should not be assigning blame here, but showing concern...

for a fellow American, who was injured by another fellow American.

Regardless of party, for the good of all, we need to try to find an understanding of what drives the perpetrators of these hateful acts to the point that they feel that harming another is the correct course of action.

There is something wrong going on in the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

How can we get to a point where we can all respect each other, and create a life of security, happiness, and respect for ourselves and others regardless of belief, race, color, handicaps etc?

We must find out how we can help those who would belittle any other citizen for reasons of hatred, greed, lack of compassion or whatever it is that is contrary to life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

These events can be refining moments in the survival, or destruction of our society, our country, and the values that we all hold dear. Our needs all have a commonality that binds us to each other.

Those that seek to create division and hatred for their own selfish ends, will themselves reap what they sow.

This is a basic precept of all civilized societies, and religions.

We have more in common, than we have differences.

We need to embrace that beautiful aspect of creation , and the short lives that we have been given on this beautiful planet that greed seems intent on destroying.

Live, and let live. Not every man for himself.

Peace!
