Meds...

Someone didn't take their meds yesterday. Maybe he never took them. But he should have. Another "George Bush blew up the World Trade Center on 9/11" nut case, John Patrick Bedell, from California, took the time to put on a suit and tie, walk up to the heavily secure entrance to the Pentagon and decide to start shooting armed guards at point-blank range. Are you kidding me?

I haven't had the pleasure of reading Mr. Bedell's the dumbass's blog, but apparently he was pretty ticked off at the US military and also a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. "Was" being the operative word here. This guy was a pretty bad shot, too. He only grazed the guards...at point-blank range. But the guards managed to pop a few rounds into Bedell and he ended up dying at the hospital.

The things I've always wondered about when something like this happens is what kind of family did this person come from? Who were his friends? Were they aware of his mental condition? Did they share his views? Was the person on meds and didn't take them? Or couldn't afford them? What happened and why?

We'll probably never really know why this guy snapped and only have his blogfesto to reference as a glimpse into his thought process, but it's disturbing to know he's probably not the only nutcase with a grievance against our country and they're not all radical muslims.

As Larry the Cable Guy once said, "It's like wiping your butt before you poop. It just doesn't make sense."
