My heart goes out to our members living in Texas. When I heard the news about the shooting I knew I needed to come here and give support to my friends.
Be safe, my friends.

Thanks, Hunter. It is just another copy cat wannabe emboldened and encouraged by the news media who will make him famous for a hopefully very short time. May his name be shunned while he rots in his grave. If it left up to me, I would just dump his sorry carcass in the desert for the critters to eat.

Some lunatic shot his mother, sister and her baby to death in West Virginia over the weekend also, then stripped naked and ran amuck through the neighborhood even trying to choke one hapless bystander while the cops stood by with guns in hand like helpless idiots waving at him to stop.

Last week another traffic stop in California had a very similar result with the perp jumping from his car shooting the PO to death and going on a suicide barrage of mayhem until he was put down like the rabid dog he was. I read at least three or four accounts this week of incidents overseas when people, two of them women, suddenly started stabbing people seemingly unprovoked.
We do not yet know the true circumstances or motivations for either of these incidents, but deranged behavior seems to be a human condition plaguing mankind ever since records were kept. We used to call them berserkers. We learned the guy in Dayton was a drughead and had a batch of drugs in his system. No word on drugs for the El Paso shooter, the Garlic Festival fiend or the West Virginia lunatic.
If you read the pulp papers, you will see episodes similar almost every week all over the world in which individuals do heinous inexplicably evil acts. That recount is not meant to make anyone feel better, but to put some perspective on an intractable problem from which we as a species have suffered forever.

I just looked up world population. The current world population is 7.7 billion, Didn't realize it was that high. When I was born it was 2.7 billion. The sheer percentages, the pressures of the modern world, we've added approx. 80,000,000 million people a year for the last fifty years. Urban populations have increased 25%, we have access to everything that happens all over the world and we have plenty of people willing to print it. People are the same there's just a lot more of them with better methods of killing.
