I think you've misunderstood me, J. <br><br>I asked that we not discuss weaponry and the body-ripping characteristics of particular ammunition. It's ugly and inappropriate. But we of course have to discuss the administrative problems that may have contributed, we need to acknowledge that broken people often commit horrific acts, and I hope we never hide from the ugliness that surrounds us. I just got a private email from someone angry at me for "using" the victims as a platform against domestic violence, but I can't apologize for what I've written. Moscow obviously has problems, and problems can only be resolved when faced openly. I just don't think that we need to hear how much more destructive to the human body such-and-such is than the other.<br><br>You know that I'm not one to shy away from controversy, and so I hope you now understood what I was asking for as well as what I wasn't.<br><br>keely<br><br>> From: privatejf32@hotmail.com<br>> To: godshatter@yahoo.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 11:07:33 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] what he was shooting<br>> <br>> NO!
