What's -truly- interesting is comparing the reactions to this and the recent Alabama Uni. shooting. The suspect was, in fact, a strident and aggressive leftist; an Obama sycophant to such a degree that it is described as "off-putting" even by her friends, colleagues, and family. She was an unbalanced and unstable personality who had already probably murdered one person, may have attempted to murder another, and on at least two other occasions assaulted others in public, yet had potentially escaped consequence through the influence of well-connected family. She then proceeded to go on a killing spree when denied tenure, possibly because she was even too partisan and obnoxious for academia (if such a possibility exists.) Her tirades in public, frequently punctuated (according to witnesses, not always reliable) by declaring her name and various degrees as if demanding deference due to Rank, seem to indicate a profound sense of entitlement as a member of an "elite," a common complaint against the high-handed and patrician tactics and objectives frequently attributed to the Left. Yet nobody calls her a left-wing terrorist; they label what she is: a whack-job. A lunatic of some very dangerous and manifestly vicious sort. Her grudge was against her department; she attacked her perceived persecutors. This man's grudge was against the IRS. He attacked his perceived persecutors.
The difference in treatment is telling, yes?
