This one hits pretty close to home. For six years, I lived less than 3/4 of a mile from where this happened. More right wing violence. I guess we'll hear now from the right about how the problem is that yoga studios aren't armed to the teeth with guns.

The most dangerous creature currently stalking the Americas. Maybe we should send the military in to put razor wire around these thugs. At least then we'll know our tax dollars are being devoted to something that poses an actual threat against our society.
