WTF?

This spree is somehow a "domestic situation."

It's like people are losing their marbles.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'm currently 35 minutes from Philly. The mayor here in Wilmington was upset last week after his city was named the Per-Capita Murder Capitol of the US....for the third or fourth year running. He voiced how upset he was all over the local media, but the very next day....another murder.

I can't wait to get back to Arizona or Texas or Oklahoma.

That shooting in Spring, TX a few months back was just a few miles from my house. That was categorized as a "domestic disturbance" with six family members killed by a dude that couldn't let go of an ex-wife.

So you'll have your psycho spree killers here in Texas, too.

Yeah, I know but at least they sound like me.

I don't think I heard about the Spring killings. I lived in Spring in 1980 and have old friends still there.

Oh yeah? Any of them wargamers/gamers?  ;D

More somberly, that shooting was pretty horrific: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Spring,_Texas_shooting

It was in a subdivision next door to the mega-Target right at Cypresswood and I-45. My home is about 4 miles away, more like 2 as the crow flies.
