Default Stereotyping an entire group for one guy's murder spree is okay?!?!?

See the shooter's self-described as "terrorist" rants on youtube and myspace at the CNN link below.

Now why is it that today's shooter is being given a pass, blaming his actions on "vitriolic" political talk and not on HIM being a known wacko who ADMITTED he is a "terrorist" on internet videos?!?!?!?

I think it is just as bad to stereotype an entire group of political opponents as "bigots", "haters", "vitriolic", (the sheriff said this on TV) and "hyperbolic", when the mass murder spree was the sick work of only one guy.

See some of his internet postings here. We're in big trouble if murderers are given the excuse of "others" causing him to murder. Enough already!!!
