I was in New York State preparing for my wedding last week when a Muslim lunatic walked into a movie theater a few minutes away from my townhouse in Maryland and shot a randomly selected Jewish man. (I just learned about this from Jesse Walker's Reason column.) How unsettling.

The shooter was mentally ill, according to his family, and refused treatment. "Because doctors said he wasn't a threat to himself or anyone else, the family couldn't force him to get help, [his sister] said." Bad call, doctors.
