You know, they caught this jackass with help from the father. Much like the Unabomber, the authorities allowed this clown's manifesto, and a member of the family (the father specifically) recognized the lunatic rantings of his son, and turned him in. They caught him, and they arrested him, and he is going to be tried for some long winded charge that basically means he bombed people. Oh yeah, they are going to clip him with a federal firearms charge, which basically means he is screwed.
The important thing that i wish to point out is this statement by the father. To wit ``I really want you to know that Luke is not a dangerous person,'' Cameron Helder said. ``I think he's just trying to make a statement about the way our government is run. I think Luke wants people to listen to his ideas, and not enough people are hearing him, and he thinks this may help.''
For God's sake when are people going to wake up. Not a dangerous person hmmm? He put bombs in mailboxes in several states. Some 70 year-old woman in Iowa opened up her mailbox recently and got an explosion for her trouble - but this clown is not dangerous. We now have a bomb awareness procedure for mail-carriers across the country, but this jackass is not dangerous.
I understand a father loving his son, that makes sense to me. I also understand not wanting your children to do evil things. What I do not understand is how people can be so blind as to see what has been done, and then make a statement like the father did. How are we supposed to believe this "is not a dangerous person." jazz. And can we not assume that if the father is so mentally deficient as to be able to decieve himself this much, that the son is as crazy or more. This is like Johnny bin Walker Lindh really loving the United States as he sat over in Afghanistan as a member of the Taliban/Al Queada Army. WTF???
We need, as a whole - nation and world - to get away from this incessant emotional over/under-reaction. Once we start thinking again, and stop feeling everything, we will be better. Feelings are fine, and they have a purpose, but they are no excuse for not using your brain for something other than keeping the vacuum in your head from collapsing. Feelings are not, and should not be, a replacement for intelligence.
