Many would say Obama did the same with terrorism as it related to Islamic extremists. But I agree, if the man's motive is racist, call it out for the racism it is. Make it a teaching moment for what hatred can do when it meets with the mentally unbalanced, because it's both together that produces moments like this. Some will criticize, but LG does have a bit of a point here. It's not just mental illness. It's mental illness fueled by an idea of hate. The part where I disagree is it being Trump's fault. That's simple and convenient(as well as typical LG). The problem is a societal one, not a political one. It doesn't matter who sits in the Oval Office. When mental illness meets hateful ideology, bad things happen.
