Or, perhaps he was merely 'a lone, deranged gunman',
sui generis. :-\    (Why not, right?   After all,
that's what everyone seems to be who commits violence
against women and members of minority groups, including
the man who shot dead the 14 women engineering students
in Montreal.   

But of course if he _was_ just an Albanian who did his
nut, he can't be symbolic of an Evil Turkish
Stab-Serbia-In-The-Back Conspiracy.  

Cynical?  Moi?  Perish forbid!)
