Dave - The "angry white male" theory or any of the others posted here on FR are NOT mine. I have merely pointed out one of the most common theories that have been discussed all over the media since day one.

However, regarding this particular criminal case, I find it rather amusing that several of those on FR who were so quick to profile men of Middle Eastern descent are now whining about the fact that profiles discussed more similar to their own personal demographics are being used by law enforcement to harass their own, so to speak.

And no, this is not a personal slam against you or any of my other friends here on FR. However, I have noticed that some people here on FR chose to criticize my style or parse my words in order to attempt to debunk any of my postings that they do not have a valid counter-argument to.

I just hate it when conservatives use the same style of discussion that James Carville and Paul Begala do best - that is resort to ad hominems when all else fails. And this has been one my own personal beefs here all along.

I realize these are very tense times we are living in, especially here in the DC area, but, all this scapegoating crap being flung out all over the airwaves and even on FR can be rather annoying, to say the least. And I am NOT talking about you or yours.

Okay, rant off now. Peace.

Gus - my point was not about FR - the "classic white male" theory does not fit THIS SHOOTER's MO. Not saying it might not be - but this event does not fall into a "nice neat category".

One more thing before I run off to my son's baeball game (AAU not school - at least some of us are going about our normal routine and not cowering - a goal of terrorism), you have parsed before here on FR. Hey, I have always enjoyed our face-to-face discussions, sometimes you take a different approach when you post here.
