   I never said that and I know I never said that because that's not what I think.   
   It all depends on the circumstances.

   Like I said, it all depends on the circumstances.   
      
   Were the mass murderers killed by police or committed suicide at the scene of   
   the crime ?   
   Then chances are they're guilty.   
      
   Were they armed at the time they were killed ?   
   Then chances are they're guilty.   
      
   Were there witnesses who knew them, recognized them and identified them as the   
   shooter ?   
   Then chances are they're guilty.   
      
   You love to make generalizations with no regard to the circumstances.   
   And you love to compare apples to oranges.   
      
   You birdbrains always come up with comparisons that have absolutely NOTHING in   
   common with this case.   
   "Yeah, but what about...."
