All decency went out of the SF Democrat party when the People’s Temple bussed their people in from Ukiah to vote Moscone over the top.
I don’t think she had any advance knowledge of what was going to go down in Guyana - she’d have been far, far away.
I’ve spoken with her (I’m no longer banned from town hall meetings as I was under Lantos - for now). She’s an intelligent person but I cannot for the life of me understand her reasoning. You would think that after what happened in Guyana, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the hemisphere, she would understand that guns exist and all gun control does is keep law abiding people from protecting themselves. Instead she has this ‘would that there were no guns all would be right in the world’ attitude that is impervious to reasoning. It’s a classic example of a liberal failing to recognize that reality doesn’t bend to their preconceptions and being oblivious to the law of unintended consequences.

Nodding. I still have newspaper clippings of the cult from before and after Guyana.

I initially thought so too. But reading her periodically through the years, her words and actions are not in synch with what a normal/rational person would have said or thought. As you've said below:

And you were in Lantos' district. I've lived only in Democrat run SF Bay area districts when in CA. I think it's gotta be more fun to be a tourist. I remember when the Bay Area was thriving; a great and fun place to live and work.
With all that Lantos' has been through; you'd think he'd have a real clue too!
