I just want to point out that guys like this one are crazy. It really doesn't matter to me if a deranged person who storms a building and takes hostages is doing it for religious reasons, for revenge for The Branch Davidians, to save the whales, to end abortion, for retaliation for American policy in the Middle East (or in the Midwest, for that matter) or because he doesn't like the programming on a cable TV channel (even if it is FOX NEWS). I don't care.
The 'cause' that a nut case like this guy is acting out on behalf is really irrelevant to me. What matters is that he stormed a building and took hostages.
It amazes me that some people are more or less sympathetic to nutbags like this guy based on how they feel about the crazy person's 'cause.' I think that misses the point that a crazy person is out acting crazy putting others in danger.
That is all.
