OldMarksman is right: watching TV can lead to some really bad thought processes, some of which spill over into real life.

And as for shooting beyond justification, I think this news story is instructive and provides a lot of food for thought: http://www.newsok.com/pharmacyshootings

Somewhere around here, there's a massively-long thread discussing this case, but we closed it when it began spiralling out of control with no new information to discuss. Great thread, though. Perhaps when the trial opens, I'll find that thread, re-open it, and bump it back up to the top. Lots and lots to learn from Ersland's actions there.
