What does shooting a state representative accomplish? There are millions of people protesting. Shooting a state representative accomplishes nothing. If the shooter were in his 20s or 30s, we could write it off as lack of understanding. But the alleged shooter is 57 years old. How stupid is he? What did he expect to accomplish?

We're fighting against idiots!
