Gunman shot to death after opening fire on Republican congressmen, aides


I recall reading Leon Trotsky's lecture against the foolishness of individual terrorism ( like that of Hodgkinson ) way back in a year that tempted it -1968.

 Based on what I have read so far ( not too much " fake news " , I hope ) he was a ruined small businessman- with some personality disorder.

Of great human interest is what happened to this troubled soul in the last few weeks of his life. " Living out of his van " , I read. Was this 66 year old white male both homeless and mentally disturbed ?

 He could have been collecting social security- which at least puts you a notch above pathetic desperation. Of course the Trump gang would like to destroy what is left of New Deal " progress ".

ANY wounded human being is a sad sight in the surgery room..And a coroner too observes : " we are really so much alike " - at least in death.

The whole point of socialist humanism is to rid the world of cruel violence. I just learned that my 35 year old married niece is finally expecting her first child. Only a born ogre will not hope for a happier and healthier future for ALL humanity. Yes, the future belongs to the young.
