   Over here, what the guy did fits as typical American. Taking justice   
   into his own hands with disregard for the society. Similar to entering a   
   school or church and shooting everybody in sight. Or a policeman   
   disregarding due process and killing the alleged bad guys disregarding   
   bosses and courts and with no repercussions, as seen in thousands of   
   American movies. Nothing to do with being Republican or Democrat.

   Cheers, Carlos.
