Reply #39: I highly doubt politics has anything to do with this.

It's a mistake to pin this on his politics. Ask yourself, why would a Teabagger (or anybody else, for that matter) shoot up a beauty salon because of twisted, radicalized politics? Even if this guy is a Teabagger, he's probably just a twisted person angry at the world that just happens to be a Teabagger.

I made the same mistake in the past on this board, by frequently politicizing the murder of three Pittsburgh Police officers in April 2009 by a deranged gunman, often blaming the tragedy on right-wing rhetoric causing the shooter, Richard Poplawski, to go off the deep end. It was never brought up at trial even once. The more I learned about that awful day, the more I realized that Poplawski was simply a twisted person angry at the world, and his rampage had absolutely nothing to do with talk radio or anti-Obama paranoia. I figure the same with this guy.
