protectors of democracy vs the crazies.

We had all kind of bad news. Some crazies blew up spectators at the Boston Marathon, a big explosion in Texas, some uncontrolled young prick in Korea, etc  The worst seem to me the stories about those who are expected to be rational, protect us, insure democracy. We have senators voting in block against verification of  firearm buyers (despite massive public opinion) and a former justice of peace who killed the prosecutor who had disbarred him.
