Who is crazy-- the commenters or the Olympian?

..................................................................................................................................
The crazies started posting on the Olympian's article on today's shooting in Connecticut (27 dead, including gunman, at Conn. school) so predictably the Zero closed commenting instead of actively monitoring and deleting only the crazies' comments.  There were some reasoned comments and discussions being posted but they're now gone in addition to those posted by the crazies.  

One of the good comments was by Paul_Larsen who wrote:  If anyone is having a difficult time with this tragic news and would like to speak to someone, please feel free to call the Crisis Line at 360-586-2800 or the Youth Help Line at 360-586-2777.

It's a real shame that we here in Olympia don't have a local newspaper that will do right by us.

We won't have a local newspaper at all soon. The upcoming paywall is the next step in The Olympian's steady march to bankruptcy.

The craziest comment was made on a related story. From Smaerd2:
"Here we go again. Another plot to get our guns away from us. It is sad that they choose such places as schools to do their dirty work. But these guys are without hearts anyway.They want to disarm Americans. This is their tipical tactic, Sad."

Another conspiracy theorist.
