Let's review:
Timothy McVeigh was 27, Eric Robert Rudolph, part of the Christian Identity movement, was 30, Eric Harris was 18 and Dylan Klebold, 17, Seung-Hui Cho was 23, Nidal Hasan was 39, Jared Loughner, 22. Average age--25 years. The acts of domestic terrorism were all committed by these guys in red states. All seven men were victims of bullying, isolation, and ostracism. All seven had histories of extensive video game exposure and easy access to firearms. Distrust of government was a factor in most, if not all of these episodes. Ted Kaczynski, likely master of the minds in all these events, punctuates this post since he resided in Montana, a red state when, at 36, his activism morphed. His case changes the average age to 26.5.
Bruce Edwards Ivins, the 55 year-old Zionist and anti-abortion anthrax weaponizer, deserves dyshonorable mention maybe because Maryland is a solidly blue state.
ip poll voters tell us that Jared Loughner's date with his story was not the result of rhetoric from the established Republican hate-speech machine (85%), although 14% of voting readers know better. Four respondents, however, tell us that they know a total of 65 people capable of desperate violence.
These latest findings scare the shit out of me and for the record, the author of ip does not vote on these polls.

Are Iraq and Afganastan red states (countries)? How many states have large weapon factories (GE,Boing,Honeywell,ETC,ETC)here in the US. Is that not the killing machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Are the empoyees dem or rep? UNION jobs? Where does it stop?
What scares me is these trained (by our gov't)killing machines coming home with some type of mental illness and being rejected for treatment.How will they return to a peaceful life?
hipneck: here is an outstanding reverse engineering of Ted Kaczinski.
