I think Citizen did not care. He suggested that weshould noteven sympathize with the women who got shot up because they "refuse[d]" to use a gun or prepare for self-defense.
It was a very weird position to take. Embarassing, actually. To him and to the pro-gun movement.
I agree that Sodini picked a soft target. But that is our society. There are millions of such targets. I don't think we can blame dead victims forbeing easy targets in our very opensociety.

Of course, if some IWAG does do something inexcusable, we all get together and excuse him by, uhm, blaming it on the victim(s) or something.
Like with the PA health club shooting by George Sodini two weeks ago. Citizen,I think it was, suggested the strategy of blaming the victims for not defending themselves with guns. We always have that strategic arrow in our quiver...
I thought this was yet another victim disarmament zone massacre? Sodini and every mass murderer know exactly where to go...
