ORIGINAL: lovmuffin It isn't a right / left thing. Except for DW65 and one or two others, its a pro gun / anti gun thing. Also I don't know the extent of why or whatever it is about what medication Zimmy was taking but I'm not so sure why whatever it was he was taking should disqualify him. Maybe DW65 could let us in on a few specifics. For me, pro-gun and anti-gun came into it; but so did issues around authoritarianism/anti-authoritarianism, race, and age. As for right wing / left wing . . . as far as I can see that arises pretty much inevitably in most political debates. In my experience trying to wish it away is a forlorn task. It's not really a pro gun thing for me. It just seems to divide along those lines. If someone shoots when they hadn't ought to, as far as I'm concerned they should face the consequences. As for race, it was racial issues that drummed up sentiment in certain segments of the public thus throwing Zimmy back into the legal system when it was previously determined there was no case. If yer going to follow someone who seems suspicious, it's best to do so unobserved. I get that, but railroading someone to pander to certain societal or political elements is fucked up. And then to have people pile on making up their own facts as they go along is even more fucked up. The whole incident was unusual and I'm still sayin it was a freak of nature.
