LAX Shooting
 
No coward who shoots innocent people is going to ruin my Fourth of July. This says something about the nature of evil, the power of publicity. We'll see as the investigation unfolds.

Just what does it say about "the nature of evil, the power of publicity"?

msamerica Jul 4th, 2002 11:46 AM

Like I said, we'll have to wait for the investigation. <BR>If it is someone trying to make a political point, I've never felt the means justifies the ends. Rather, if the means are so corrupt, so evil, we can know that so are the ends.<BR><BR>And, the publicity is what the gunman wants. The act, taking precious human lives, should strengthen our resolve.<BR><BR>That was hard to figure out?

That would be the ends don't justify the means, but the means corrupt the ends.

It won't be, just as soon as someone translates it from gibberish into english for me.<BR>

la woman. What is your problem?

la woman Jul 4th, 2002 12:04 PM

Nothing. I just have an aversion to doom-and-gloom breaking-news posts, esp. when they include gibberish commentary.<BR>Also, using the word "coward" as a catch-phase for all-things-bad-and-evil kind of grates on me. That's all.

Aversion or attraction?

SO was this someone who was out to kill an ex wife,a girl friend,surely he didn't think he would get through security carrying the gun? Who says this had anything to do with any terrorist? Everytime someone kills someone,there is no reason to think it is terrorism.<BR>Why should anyones day be ruined with news of another shooting in LA?<BR>Wait and see.

You just don't get it...it was El Al Airlines..and if it isn't somebody from the Middle East I'll be very surprised. Fortunately, their security is very tight at EVERY airport they have a counter usually and at least one of the B______s was shot.. they said another one got away.. They were trying to make a point!!! I say...an eye for an eye.....

I agree with la woman that msamerica's posts were practically written in pig latin.<BR>Get a grip girl.<BR>You're not writing for the National Review here. It's just a travel talk board.
