Earlier today a Neo-Nazi gunman burst into a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and opened fire, leaving several people dead and many wounded. :(

Saw that. Wish he could have been met with a hail of return fire.  >:(

No. Why should he get off easy? Let him sit in jail for 40 or 50 more years and think about everything he threw away, and how little he threw it away for.

I'm certainly not in favor of him getting off easy, but in jail he's likely to become more radicalized in a skinhead gang as an ideological hero.

Tragic.  Truly awful beyond words.

I'm amazed that a man with such twisted hatred could fly under the radar until he exploded with such vile impact.

Can't reject his actions hard enough, but even sadder to know a friend's family was involved (even if not directly, but you probably still know people there, or your aunt and uncle do.)

I went to college with a guy who was there with his family. I hear they are all ok.

Although it's good to know that your family and friends are all ok, that's still sickeningly too close to home. Damn.
