Michelle has the background here, and LGF has this:
My son’s best friend, Jon, who’s in the Air Force stationed in New Jersey at Fort Dix/McGuire Air Force Base was shot by a crazed anti-military white guy on Independence Day and he remains in critical condition. He had been on leave here in Ohio and got back to his home off base and was unpacking stuff from his car when this 22 year old guy walked up to him and asked him if he lived in the house. When Jon said yes, the guy said “not any more” and shot him point blank in the chest. He tried to shoot him again, but his gun jammed. Jonathan made it into the house. The guy then shot himself. Turns out the guy left a couple of suicide notes stating how much he hated the military and he wanted to go out making a statement, so he chose to make his statement on Independence Day trying to kill a soldier. We are very worried about our Airman. He’s the sweetest, nicest, do anything for ya kid and he’s like a son to me. He’s been to Iraq and Afghanistan on our behalf and then gets shot in his own driveway here in the U.S by an anti-war, anti-American lunatic. This is gut wrenching.

I have to believe that somewhere deep in his psyche in a dark place that Matthias would never admit to due to his PC leanings Matthias is smiling over this incident.

Ted, I think that this is another example for the deep crack in the US society. Here you have a pacifist shooting at a soldier (I wonder if his gun was purchased legally?
), there you have now and then pro-life activists shooting at abortion-doctors…
That only happens in America 2007!

2..
Your Fruedian slip is showing.
No where does it say he is a pacifist (it did say he had mental health issues), just anti-military. It would seem you are transposing yourself upon the circumstance.
“That only happens in matthias’ Head 2007!”
Interesting…

3. The text above says “He’s been to Iraq and Afghanistan on our behalf and then gets shot in his own driveway here in the U.S by an anti-war, anti-American lunatic.”…
Okay, maybe he is only “anti-[this-specific]-war”, but is it likely? So I would say, in some way the shooter was (from his disturbed POV) a pacifist.
But as you start discussing my own mental state: to me people who approve war as a means of peace or reducing human rights as a means of protecting freedom should go and look for some professional help as well..

“Okay, maybe he is only “anti-[this-specific]-war”, but is it likely?”
Yes it is likely. Most anti-Iraqi war folks are not pacifists, they just think this war is either not justified otr not being fought correctly.

4, Mattias, you are the mentally ill person, and you’ve been told that several times.
Most of the anti-war people I see are anarchists who are violent and spoiling for a one-sided fight they could win.
