"Ain't that America?"

By now most of you guys know that Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament was violently robbed in Atlanta.

Some of the comments that were posted about the robbery on Rolling Stone's site have amazed me. They are breathtakingly moronic-- EVEN FOR THIS NATION.

Apparently a few idiots believe that he was robbed because Pearl Jam has supported Democratic candidates in the past, so he is virulently anti-gun rights for everyone and thus he didn't carry a concealed gun at all times and a concealed gun would have magically prevented everything and not escalated the violence... or something.
I searched for Jeff Ament's comments about gun rights because I wanted to know if he really believes that no one should own guns. Nothing. I'm shocked.

A few examples of the brilliance:
