Exactly. People get depressed and desperate when they lose their jobs and homes and often do things they had previously never thought about. It's not just an increase in violent acts, but an increase in crimes like burglary and robbery, especially banks.

Hmm, April does seem to be a bad month for this sort of shiat. Remember, Columbine and Oklohoma City happened in April as well.

Well just think about that guy that robbed the mini-mart with his daughter in tow.. I think it was this past week.

And that's not including the individual suicides of people who don't kill others, which are seldom reported.

You're going to see more and more of this as people get more desperate.

mikemoto: Hmm, April does seem to be a bad month for this sort of shiat. Remember, Columbine and Oklohoma City happened in April as well.

Columbine was done on Hitler's birthday, and Oklahoma City was the anniversary of the fire at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco.

also in April

I can't even keep track of my gunmen anymore.

This would never have happened had the children had guns...

/too soon?
//I love my guns.

Babysitters must be demanding cash up front now.

Byproduct of the economy, etc...

Check him for steroids cause that's the only way this can happen, zomg! their evil!

...And the Virginia Tech massacre. April seems like a great month to go to the basement and hide in the dryer.

just wait until summer when the heat makes people even more cranky.

/sorry for all the families of the victims

Remember kids guns don't kill children, daddy kills children.

Help! I'm trapped on the planet of the retarded monkeys.

Where is Obama? Where is the change?

BalugaJoe: Where is Obama? Where is the change?

"I've got your change here, motherfarker!"

BalugaJoe: Where is Obama? Where is the change?

If you thought the change we were discussing was a fundamental change in human nature, then I have some prime oceanfront real estate in Arizona to sell you.

We are all crazy. Stark raving batshiat crazy.

BalugaJoe: Where is Obama? Where is the change?

What does President Obama have to do with this? Is he magically supposed to go around to every person and make sure they don't kill themselves and their families?

BalugaJoe: Where is Obama? Where is the change?

Attention whore needs attention eh?

*pats head* there there...

mikemoto: Hmm, April does seem to be a bad month for this sort of shiat. Remember, Columbine and Oklohoma City happened in April as well.

Probably had some really bad April Fool's jokes played on them, thus causing them to basically lose their shiat.

The 7-year-old is a boy, and the rest are girls.

Another case of estrogen poisoning.

35 miles south of Seattle is not south Seattle.

OKC was done on my ex's birthday.

/got nothin'

Nearly double-digit unemployment in the third most populous country in the world where there are two guns for every three people.

I can't see how this would ever be a problem.

ttc2301: We are all crazy. Stark raving batshiat crazy.

Hey speak for yourself, I didn't shoot anyone.

BalugaJoe: Where is Obama? Where is the change?

I'm sure that the recent violence will cause him to do something to change things. These killings would be a great opportunity to introduce some gun bans. Never waste a good crisis.

/Change is coming.

It doesn't help if people on the edge are listening to fear-mongerers.

/sorry, grumpy about the cops killed by the guy who thought Obama was going to take his guns.

NickBush24: OKC was done on my ex's birthday.

/got nothin'

I was born in April, the same month as all the horrible events mentioned in this thread.

/got less

Hubert Sumlin: /sorry, grumpy about the cops killed by the guy who thought Obama was going to take his guns.

Of course, someone should have sat the guy down and explained to him that guns don't work like community nachos.

Enrico Pallazzo: NickBush24: OKC was done on my ex's birthday.

/got less

This is the 26th April I have lived through, I know how you feel.

/even less

What the fark is wrong with people?

Five kids, 7 - 16. Mass killers should at least kill the boss that outsources their jobs.

OKC was done on my ex's birthday.

It was the day my wife and I first started our romantic relationship.

xuanzhiyouxuan: 35 miles south of Seattle is not south Seattle.

I think subby forgot an "of" between "south" and "Seattle".

Occam's Chainsaw: You're going to see more and more of this as people get more desperate.

Yeah, every time this sort of thing happens, it's usually because the husband lost his job or recently went through a nasty divorce. TFA doesn't give a whole lot of details, but I'm betting it's one or the other.

I. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD


APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

/Change is coming.

That'd be one of the very few ways for the Pubbies to have a remote chance in '12. And considering the current short list of who they might field, you may as well start writing the conclusion chapter of your history of America.

No Magua?

All I needed to hear was "trailer park" and "5 kids between 7-16" to lose any surprise I may have had at this.

/never have more kids than you can support
/not a clown car, 'amember?

I plan on taking out as many as possible if I ever decide to end it.

you know who else liked to kill his own children in the face of imminent danger?

that's right...joseph goebbels.

Freaking sad weekend, for sure. I literally effing facepalmed myself reading about the Obama/taking away guns thing. And that was after I avoided the story for as long as I could, but finally wanted to figure out why it was showing up as one of the top 3 stories on my BBC News mobile edition thing.

But Michigan State won. It's a weird, weird universe where I'm wholeheartedly cheering for them to win, if only for something positive to be in the newspaper around these parts.

Oh, wait, they don't even deliver the newspaper daily anymore, and my city paper is going out of business, even though they were advertising for sales two weeks ago.

Sigh.

simpsonfan: Five kids, 7 - 16. Mass killers should at least kill the boss that outsources their jobs.

Four of them were girls. He should have at least spared the 16-year-old. She was almost legal.
