  • the Lilac City

    Rochester isn't exactly the cozy little New England town you might think. There is a lot of petty crime, plenty of drugs, and plenty of casual violence. It is a blight. The streets are strewn with litter, and the main street (where Hillary's office is) is nothing more than a bunch of bars and tattoo shops.

  • Me too I identified him

    He was Crazy dressed way better than his mental derangement would indicate Guy. Or Lindsay Lohan. Whichever.

  • STOP!

    Put this story to rest, Salon. It's the sign of the times -- why our country is so self-deluded and isolated in the world. Everything, yesterday, came to a screeching halt because some unfortunate, mentally ill and deluded person, one of millions whom our mental health system has let down, committed a crime against a famous person. If he had done that at a small beauty shop in some small town, it might have gotten a mention in a crime news wrap-up.

    Meanwhile, for example, CNN that was planning to run an informative program on Putin's Russia, which actually does MATTER to how things turn out in the world, cancelled that to offer more hours of its crime news fest about the kidnapping at Hillary's office, and the murder of Sean Taylor, which, while very sad, also is just part of a larger picture of the national disgrace we are suffering from pouring all our resources into war and so-called "security" while we ignore the disgraces perpetrated on our own nationa and its infrastructure and remain ignorant of the bigger picture of what is happening in the world.

    We are fiddling while our "Rome" burns.

  • Just say no!

    Aren't psychiatric medications wonderful?

    I wonder if it was a phenothiazine insecticide based drug or a flouride compound insecticide based drug?

    Hmmmmn?

    Maybe it was something new and exciting. After all, this time there was no actual murder and suicide. Pharmacology marches onward!!!

    Well, maybe, maybe not.

  • @heyjude

    As a caregiver for two mentally ill adults, I salute you.

  • threatened "to use explosives" and demanded Pepsi, alcohol

    hasn't everyone?

  • Cable news -- the next marketing frontier

    He wanted Pepsi? This is product placement gone amok! Stop the marketing madness!
