Yes, as much as we all wish it were other, Greg is absolutely right.
Ever notice that when news programs report a homicide, regardless of the
weapon used, they almost always show an image of a gun behind the
newsreader?

See also the case over the weekend in NYC where a young man, spurned by
the woman he obsessed over, used a knife and a hi-jacked car to kill
four people, including his step father, his intended girlfriend, her
mother and a pedestrian. The last was killed with an automobile the
killer stole.

don't get the fact that the instrumentality isn't the issue, it is the
murderous intent.

A taxi will do.
The first case made national news. I have not heard of the second case
involving the taxi. But the trial of the perpetrators will slowly
vanish into the mists whereas the trial of Loughner will remain headline
news for two simple reasons. The obvious reason is the fact of the
attack being on a Congresswoman. The second being the fact, I guess
also obvious, that he used a gun. The crimes involved are all equally
heinous but that gun will keep reporters riveted to the story for a
long, long time.
It just beez dat way..........
