I (like many many people) was completely horrified by the shooting at one of the big museums in Washington DC today by an elderly white supremacist. A guard was killed, and it sounds like he (the guard) gave his life to protect the lives of thousands of people (including many children) who were visiting the museum.
As a long term federal government employee in a small Midwestern city, I feel much more threatened by violent hate filled freaks like today's gun man or the two guys who blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City than I am by Muslim terrorists from overseas. (This might be different if I lived in a major city on the coasts...)
Seems like there has quite the outbreak of extreme murderous domestic terrorist acts lately. Very disturbing.
Very disturbing, indeed.
I have no idea how people can become so twisted with prejudice and hatred and anger that they feel the need to murder perfectly innocent people going about their daily lives and/or performing their jobs.
Very troubling.
