This whole situation is tragic to say the least. I can only hope he is caught and justice in whatever form is swiftly done. Obviously some are making this a political issue about one person in a giant machine and I dont think its quite fair. To me, this raises a number of issues. Firstly, it appears this is a case of a violent felon let lose a few different times on parole because the prison is full of otherwise non-violent dope heads serving lengthy mandatory minimum sentances.
While I am an ardent supporter of private firearm ownership, it is way to easy in this country for people who should not have guns to get them. Be them uneducated youth, felons, mentally unstable or any number of things that make gun ownership for them a hazard to society.
May the fallen officers rest in peace, and thier families comfort in thier time of loss.
I dont lay this at the feet of Huckabee. The blood is on the hands of the shooter. Society also burdens some of the indirect responsibility.
