.Darned shame.
This time of the year. . . holidays, expectations, not wanting to let anyone 'down'.
Stress levels are higher than normal.
I heard this morning that this guy had just lost his job, and was a 'loner'.
His (suicide) note (according to the news radio station) said that he (and I quote here) "Wanted to go out in style."
The holidays are a time to be joyful. . . not full of hate and anguish.

I cannot even begin to imagine the anguish the families of the victims must feel. 8 innocents dead....for being in the wrong place at the perp's wrong time.
He could have just jumped stepped in front of a train if he wanted to hit the news for a couple of days.
They were all someone's children...no matter the age.
Absolutely senseless.

i hope none of the victims were children
Absolutely senseless.

Another failure of a "gun free zone." When are we going to learn?
32 killed this year alone because of policies that keep law abiding citizens disarmed. Criminals don't care if its illegal to carry a weapon into these areas...that's what makes them criminals.

I think this is more a symptom of people with bogus diseases (ADHD) being on drugs, than of gun free zones. Check out the correlation between many of the school shootings (Columbine for instance) and ADHD drugs.

Let's not let our natural reaction to be angry and upset over this situation to cloud logic and objectivity --- we are, after-all, reasoning beings and that is what separates us from other animals.
