The suspected shooter in the Arizona assassination attempt has appeared in federal court, and his photo is everywhere right now--except here. His flaring eyes and grin may demonstrate various things to various people, but to me they say that he's finally the center of attention he intended to be. And the media is giving him exactly what he wants, along with more incentive for others to copy his actions. But not here. Instead, a photo of Christina Green, killed by the bullets of his gun. She was nine years old, born on 9/11. I might add that four of the six people killed were over 60 years old. Four were uninvolved in politics except as citizens. 19 people were injured and will bear scars of various kinds for the rest of their lives. So while all eyes are on the eyes and personality of the perpetrator, I'm keeping my eyes on them.
