Admire your professionalism

I wrote a letter on the NYT's in response to a Brooks article called the Politicized Mind, letter 29 and it acheived over 450 likes, all I mentioned that the shooter seemed to have good insight and judgement and was a bad person with mental illness. (that is not rocket science or anything) 

Other writers noticed he had not hurt the taxi driver or the Safeway cashier, he went after a political figure in a pre-planned attack.

I read the NYT's avidly during the Oklahoma bombings and subsequent trial and although Timothy McVeigh was a bad person, his accomplis had a mail order bride whom was reported in the NYTs he suffocated her child upon arrival and was not charged at the time. I wonder if McVeigh Knew that I questioned as I was reading this in the NYTs?

Much is made of mental illness although bad characters to me are just as dangerous, to me major mental illness are much safer than bad characters.

I sincerely enjoyed your understanding of the issues and your willingness not to rush to judgement. Especially your advise about allowing witnesses to take their time and be patient with their stories. CCV
