In reply to the discussion: Something just feels.. off...about the shooting of the National Guardsmen in DC [View all]Kid Berwyn
(22,446 posts)108. Like the man who left San Francisco to shoot up the NFL in Manhattan.
Supposedly bent on revenge over his own chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the man went in the wrong door in New York and started shooting, killing people who had nothing to do with the NFL or his problems.
I, too, notice the stink. Somebody, somewhere is radicalizing people to the point of making them into murderers.
