The uptake in all this... People are exposing their true selves and are loosing the ability to hide.  I prefer polite society and the rule of law.  This whole thing is very unreal for me and my wife.  We walked in the same locations the night before the shootings.  I will tell you that I love living in Texas.  The people are very honest and accepting.  The reactions of all sides has been inspiring.  I feel for the families that lost their loved ones and the family of the shooter.  Evil is so hard to mentally grasp and understand.
