His behavior is complex and I don't think it is enjoyment but some of his speeches are exaggerated in affect. They just seem off to me.

Why is it that when I see the video of the Santa Barbara mass murderer...

Law school will do that to a guy. And he's not just a lawyer -- he's a defense attorney, which means he has spent a lifetime verbally scrapping, using every debate trick in the book, playing whatever role will most help his client in court, enjoying the clash and conflict of intellectual combat.
Of course he's enjoying that aspect of it. That doesn't mean his grief isn't real, or his opinions aren't honest. It simply means that when he speaks, we can see the effect of the public debate skill he's spent a lifetime honing.
The anti-gun groups probably go down on their knees every night to thank God that a man like this fell into their hands.

Kathy is right I think.
Mr. Martinez will find some things to be for and latch on to them and push. He does not need anti-gun organizations to draw him out. Like some of the Sandy
Hook parents, grief and anger draw them into action. They will join with others who can help them. There is no conspiracy to get them going. The anti-gun groups and politicians who come to them will provide for them a structure to work through, they find each other.

Let me see if I can pst a link to a petition that is going around by "Move-On" that I received lately.
The anti-gunners are trying to use a similar strategy to that which was born out of the fight against the tobacco industry. A skewed version of it anyway.
It's a version where what you say doers not have to be true there just has to e a lot of it.

Here's a few quotes...
So much wrong here one does not know where to begin. But ya have to and it ain't bad to do so because it clarifies things.

Here's a few quotes...
Students and faculty at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) are understandably shocked by the hate-filled rampage of a UCSB student Friday night, in which six UCSB students were killed and 13 wounded just off campus. America mourns with the families and we embrace the responsibility to work together to stop this madness. "Not one more," as Richard Martinez, father of 20-year-old Christopher, one of the students who was killed, heartbreakingly challenged us. We are up to the challenge.
To that end, we call on the University of California Board of Regents to examine whether the system's $88 billion endowment is contributing to more senseless destruction by being invested in companies that profit from gun violence, obstruct commonsense gun legislation, and fund the NRA. University endowments led the way in divesting from apartheid South Africa and should do so again in divesting from the gun industry.
There have been 72 shootings on school campuses since the Sandy Hook massacre. We cannot afford to invest in gun companies. We are paying too high a cultural price to financially benefit from stock prices that climb even as our young people fall. The University of California, where this latest horror occurred, should stand with its community and ensure that it is not funded with the blood money from these killings. The UCSB community is grieving, but there is a way to stop the madness: divest.
So much wrong here one does not know where to begin. But ya have to and it ain't bad to do so because it clarifies things.
