I've had occasion to meet a couple of the victims and have been a regular reader of some of the others. This is tragic and heartbreaking and in many (most) ways far removed from the nasty political discourse on the 24/7 cable networks and the president's ugly rhetoric about the press, but America needs to wake up and recognize how important journalists are to our freedom. My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives or whose lives have been forever changed by this horrific event, and I pray that it is a wake-up call to all of us to be vigilant in protecting the free press and to elect representatives who both respect the press and who support reasonable gun control efforts.

And the despicable Trump had no more to do with this shooting than you or I. Nuts plus guns. We will have to eliminate one or the other to stop such killings.

In particular, he threatened his eventual victims with death on Feb. 2, 2015. Trump began his presidential campaign, when? Probably in late 2015.
