Jessa Crispin, for PBS, suggests you do some reading.
From the piece...
Whatever the motives for the shooting end up being — if we ever hear them in a coherent way — the fact is that the shooting did not come out of nowhere. Tension had been building for a long time. The reason the scaremongers and the vitriolic were so quick to be blamed is because people recognized how hate-filled our public debate has become. When you rally hate and disgust in other people, for the sake of viewership or political advancement, it’s difficult to control the results.
I’m not the only one who feels bewildered about the way things have turned out over the last several years. But the state of confusion is one I recognize, from a long lifetime of reading.
