to seeing.the.unseable..
the only thing you wrote that I saw as difficult to interpret was "Who among us didn't know, or at least suspect, that this day was coming?"...in a political forum, that can easily be seen many different ways. Thanks for posting a clarification.
As for the subsequent topic, I do hope this results in a long conversation about the nature of political discourse in this country. however, I have read through a lot of what this guy wrote on the web, and he is almost certainly mentally ill. Either BiPolar or Schizophrenic, is my guess. I've read similar writings before.
it also sounds like he was associated with anarchists, possibly? Aren't they, technically, extreme left? however, as we all know, extreme left and right are so far out there they reach around on the other side and shake hands..
So, this mentally ill man likely would have acted at some point regardless. However, I hope we all look at how he may have been encouraged and/or reinforced to do so and whether or not anything can be done to address it.
