Talk About Tennis 2.0

Serious question. In which way are you NOT in a Civil War? You have people attacking your Congress. This lunatic was obviously a lone wolf but what happens when some groups get more organized? Remember the attack on the Pakistan Hotel years ago? What happens when some bunch of lunatics decide to load a car with explosives?

The attacker was from Indiana, Noah Green, who identified with the Nation of Islam, 25 years old. Suicide by cop?

There is such a stigma against mental health care in some communities. This killer said in his last FB post that religion was all he had to hold on to. He also seemed to say he quit his job because of "afflictions". I don't know what that means now. I know what it meant back in the day when I was a child. It was a term people used to politely say someone had mental health issues.
It could mean something very different today.

You are going to fly those planes dropping water to put out the fires. Might as well start flying them now to prevent them.

Good point. But what's dramatic about that? A raging fire with brave pilots flying over it dropping water while prisoners do hand to hand combat with it gets clicks not preventive measures.
