IT HAPPENS

.

Amen.

.

Prayers to all the families that were affected.

Truly a tragic event.

Must have been a scary feeling, to be driving in the area and having the police screaming at you.

Very sorry to hear about this TR.

We have had 4 murders in my little county this summer.... usually we have 1 per year or less...

one of them involved a past student of mine... very difficult, and yes it's everywhere

My heart goes out to the family and friends of the victims in this tragedy. It was difficult for me to watch the coverage of the aftermath of this event, and I can't imagine what it's like for the locals. IT HAPPENS, and it's too bad. I agree with TR, enjoy your life Everyday, because you never know what is around the corner!

I saw that on the news.So sad.My prayers go out to the families.What is wrong with people? I just do not comprehend killing people like this.It really disturbs me.

Yes, it can happen anywhere. A year or two after I moved into my current home, a quiet little neighborhood just south of Portland, a father killed his three children VIA intravenous drugs, then killed himself through carbon monoxide poisoning in the garage.

He did this because of a divorce custody dispute at the home of his parents where his kids were staying, six doors down from my house.

Shocking.

Well this clown's family is saying he did what he did because he was the victim of racial discrimination in the work place. Of course the fact they had him on tape several times stealing beer had nothing to do with his termination.

At my son's game last night one of the dad's was talking about this tragedy. He knew 4 of the people who were killed. The details are worse than the headlines.

You are right, TR, we need to use this as a reminder to enjoy each day.

This is a horrible situation and I will be praying for those families. But what this type of situation does for me is remind me to make sure I always have my .45 close by when I am out and about. For me this is just another reason why its important for law abiding citizens to make sure the criminals and nut jobs are not the only ones armed.

Very, very sad.

Don't think for a moment that the never ending entitlement programs and its associated mindset, doesn't have an effect on people's sense of personal responsibility. Let's see how it works: I can steal from my employer at will but if my employer responds instead of accepting personal responsibility, the accusers are racist and I am justified in doing the unthinkable.

Very similar to Maxine Waters and Charlie Rangel situation where they engage in all kinds of unethical and illegal activity and if anyone focuses attention on it, guess what, they are racist. Of course at that level its all politics, however that victimology mindset seeps down and some people buy into it and the consequences for their lives (and in this case others) is significant.

At some point its a failure and corruption of leadership.


ps. Coach May brought up another reason why I never disagree with him.

Coach "Lock and Load" May....Atta Babe!!!

Or should it be "Cocked and Locked"?

TR, very sad situation for your town and several families right now trying to come to grips with the madness.
