As a law enforcement professional expected to work within the evidence and the law, his statements are highly irresponsible if not intentional in the misrepresentation of the facts. To what purpose? We can only guess as to his motivations. It's fairly easy to guess why the media hacks would want spin this into something it's not. But to eagerly and willfully assign unsubstanciated blame to persons or groups for unrelated violent acts of a sick individual is highly disturbing in itself.

Immediately after the Ft. Hood masacre, our leaders and media rightfully echoed the need for restraint in jumping to conclusions about what motivated the attack. Where was the restraint in this case? Why do any of you feel justified in continuing to perpetuate this hoax?
