Ok, in a way I'm sort of relieved that it's beginning to look like the shooter was a man from Pakistan. It would be awful to think a Seattleite would be so hateful as to shoot 6 women over far-distant politics. But then it begs the xenophobia issue.

It's just crazy. What is wrong with people? (and why is it men who tend to be so dang violent?)

Why is the world so nuts?

DPITA's family hid in a ditch for 3 days to escape the Nazis, then managed to get almost to the German/Netherlands border on foot before they were trapped by a border closure.

Why does all this hatred and violence continue? Why?

And why in my hometown, which is so liberal and tolerant it's almost a joke?
