[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I actually feel sorry for the comet pingpong gunman.  He believed what he read, and wanted to rescue the kids.  That was his intent.

For him, the problem was he was unable to discern the truth from fiction.

I felt sorry for him, but what he did is deplorable:  effectively attacking a restaurant.

Plea deal makes sense.  [/quote]

Remember that he fired shots through an office door with at least one bullet hitting a computer in the office. He could have hit someone hiding in the office. The offenses should not be excused because he is an idiot. [/quote]

I am not excusing his action.  I am saying that his intent was not horrible.  He did not go into to rob.  And he surrendered once he realized the truth.

+1.

As a matter of fact, his intent was heroic.

As you say, once he realized his mistake, he simply surrendered.

If only all DC criminals behaved that way.[/quote]

He carried an unregistered firearm into DC, pointed it at the employees of a restaurant full of people, including children (that is assault with a deadly weapon in DC), and then he discharged the weapon during the crime. That's several felonies even before we get to stuff like reckless endangerment. This guy is a threat to public safety.

90% of criminal cases are settled via plea. There is no "attempt to cover things up". Everyone in DC knows where John Podesta lives. If there were " strange" things going on, we'd know.
