Say it with me:

Evil AND crazy.

Stephen Tyrone Johns, rest in peace. My deep sympathy goes to the people whose love for you is now in the past tense.

A lot of the students from our synagogue were in DC with their public schools today, but had either just left or had not yet visited the museum as this happened. I am grateful for their safety and so sad to read that the Mr. Jones did not survive his wounds.

What a sad lesson for our kids, that hatred still exists in such forms (first Dr. Tiller and now this)

Nuances

Yes this is not a case for them ;nuances that is. Questions of the limits of fre speech do come up.

When I visited the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin last month, I remarked to my host what a sad irony it is that we need security in such places.

May the honour of his ultimate sacrifice let Mr Johns rest in peace,

Wow, that's stupidity.

The whole thing sickens me. It's such a sad story.

Maybe I'm being a conspiracy theorist here, but I wonder if he was inspired by the murder of Dr. Tiller. I mean, THAT was successful. Dr. Tiller's clinic is now closed down.

The news here covered the Skokie museum and it's sick and disgusting how much security they have to have. It's a freaking MUSEUM. One of the attendees, a WWII vet, opined that he was worried that the security guards weren't armed, and that he'd been advocating that since before the museum opened. A MUSEUM SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE ARMED SECURITY GUARDS PATROLLING ITS GROUNDS, PEOPLE.

Evil and crazy--have to be the same thing. So sad that Mr. Johns had to be his target.

Sometimes I wonder if humanity is cursed-and that if we are, I think we cursed ourselves.
