Hood (I think, maybe Sam Houston) shooter. Excepting the fact that Nadals was a much much more deadly attack. He is on the other hand exactly comparable to Major Hassan Nadal, the Ft.

True, Osama bin Laden and his cronies are far beyond "jerks". Nevertheless, they do share some characteristics, but on different levels of intensity and extension of effect. Thankfully there are SPLC and other groups and individuals working very hard to relegate hate and prejudice, from whatever cause, to the gutter. It's a long road, with true education (not propaganda) and mixing-it-up being the solution. The more we 'know' each other, the better we may understand and tolerate each other. Only then may we successfully work on the toxification of the planet brought on by the money-mongers who take advantage of all of us and all living creatures, even including their own health and sustainability. Go figure. “Jerks” to describe right wing religious and/or violent, dysfunctional, intolerant people is a kind term. True, Osama bin Laden and his cronies are far beyond “jerks”.

If everyone's upbringing supplied plenty of evidence and practical examples of natural morality and spirituality, and no lessons on how to be ignorant and/or cynical, we would not have these sad lives replicating other ones all over the planet.
