You're right, brother. We shouldn't assume -- or wish -- the man is guilty just because we don't like him. We must wait for all the facts to come out. But I will dislike him even more if after this incident he comes out spewing gun control garbage out of his mouth. It's like that DEA agent who discharged a round into this own foot in front of a sixth grade class. He showed off his Glock 40 to the class in condition 1 (magazine inserted, no round in the chamber) by locking the slide back; but with the mag still inserted, he released the lock to put the slide back in position and in doing so chambered a round. He then said, "Now I'm da only wun in dis room dat I know of who qualified to carry this Glock 40. I'm da only one.... {{BANG!!}} Thankfully, none of the children were hurt and the only one injured was the Glock-qualified DEA agent's foot. Can you believe he had the brains to bring out an AR-15 weapon next for show and tell, and the children all shouted him down, "Put it away!"In this country there is the presumption of innocence until a person is convicted. At least there used to be. It's shortsighted to make judgments on what happened and who is guilty of what based on snippets from news sources we don't even trust... As of right now no one has been arrested. If there was probable cause for an arrest at this time it would have happened. Hopefully authorities will get to the bottom of things and figure out the chain of events that led to this tragedy.
The presumption of guilt that I'm seeing in some of the posts in this thread saddens me.
Maybe next Rob Reiner will be directing an action film starring Jim Carrey and the same thing happens.
