Actually it's also about the comments section in that post.br /br /Here is the comment that I left a href="http://pghcomet.blogspot.com/2009/08/thoughts-on-sodini-shooting.html"strongthere/strong/a:br /blockquoteOh lord!br /br /Two huge elephants in the room here.br /br /FIRST ELEPHANT:br /br /While Sodini was certainly a racist by his own words he did not go looking for a room full of African Americans to kill.br /br /While Sodini certainly did not seem to have male friends and expressed jealousy of other males (though almost always in the context of their ability to get laid) he did not go looking for a room full of men -- or even a room full of men and women -- to kill.br /br /In Sodini's head women were "hoes." Worse still: "hoes" who would not have sex with him. He went looking for a room full of women -- all women. He found one. And he tried to murder them all. He even wrote: "Why do this?? To young girls?"br /br /That's reality.br /br /EVEN BIGGER ELEPHANT:br /br /I'm hearing so called experts on TV talking about the problem of "people" being isolated. I'm hearing discussions of "peoples" access to guns. I see here someone asking "what if it was a woman attacking men," etc.br /br /strongHere's a reality check: if you could somehow stop men from murdering others /stronga href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_and_crime"strongyou would stop 90% of all murders/strong/astrong./strongbr /br /So talking about what the problem is with "people" killing is like me saying that I want to lose weight but let's not get into what I eat or how much I exercise -- you know, basically unproductive -- and ignoring a huge piece of the puzzle.br /br /And before some heads explode here, I'm not saying all men are murders or violent or would-be murders or are one step away from being violent.br /br /But, if we want to really cut down on murder than we need to figure out why men murder. And, guys, this would be to your benefit because while men overwhelmingly are the ones to commit violent crimes, they are also far more likely to be the victims of violent crimes.br /br /P.S. Where exactly would women wearing gym clothes pack a gun? Do they maybe hold it in their hands while exercising? This is just silly./blockquotebr /span style="color:#ffffff;"./spandiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8213262-2276072449955718822?l=2politicaljunkies.blogspot.com'//div
