All pharmacists should be required to carry openly. This would end tomorrow.

This kid should be dead, and four innocent people should be alive.

It’s worse than bank robbery, because you never know how high they are, and then there’s the other employees to think about, and God knows how many other customers are inside and where they are...

How many people have to die before anyone does anything? This happens every day, all over our country.

I was reading a forum yesterday about these two and apparently the killer husband has been drugged for two years. It was a forum where people knew him and his wife. They should both die a slow death and suffer and rot.

Tell that to a cancer patient.

I'm pretty sure that posting was filled with subtle sarcasm. You know the argument about how guns should be made illegal since "they" -- the guns-- kill people?

Laffer was picked out of a lineup by victim Jamie Taccetta's fiancé, James Manzella -- who had been waiting for her outside the drug store and saw the assassin -- and was then hauled off to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital's emergency room for treatment of minor injuries.

Appears someone was given the opportunity to beat the s**t outta him. Manzella or the cops? Good. Hopefully this is just the beginning of the pain he'll get to endure.

Let’s hope that it was meant to be sarcastic.

Rx pain relievers are the only hope for someone in chronic and severe pain.

Maybe Wolfie will respond with an explanation?

To an addict being “sick” is NOT being high. Being "sick" means they are in withdrawal. Addicts go from wanting to get high to not wanting to feel sick. Painkillers(opiates) are fools gold.

prescription painkillers should be made illegal.

Here's hoping someone you love comes down with a nice case of bone cancer....

The bitch was sick, ok sick of what, release your medical records. Otherwise take her out in the woods and let animals have a snack.

Sarcasm. Although it uses the same logic that supports the Drug War. (”Look at the crime that surrounds xyz, THAT’S why it’s illegal”). Speaking of which...there are plenty of cancer patients who find their greatest and most manageable relief with marijuana, and we know how that goes down in Conservative circles.

“Sarcasm.”

Thanks for confirming.

He took out his anger and frustration with his wife on 4 innocent people.

According to Fox, he was a hardcore science fiction fan. I’ve noticed a weird detachment about a lot of those types. Many of them don’t really see other humans as real. Only they and their friends matter.

Why do I sense a “this crime was cause by lack of affordable healthcare” moment?

Didn’t Obamacare mean that we can get all the drugs we want for free??

(Sorry, cold-blooded assassination of 4 people is not excused because your wife’s botching to you about her need for drugs)

As a 33 year Army vet, Laffer and his wife were obviously eligible for the legal amount of painkillers through base privileges. Also, she’s have been eligible for psychological/drug abuse counseling to work on her addiction. None of this makes sense, but now four people are dead because they didn’t do what they should have to deal with her (and his?) problems.

I can't say that I'm sorry
For the things that we done
At least for a little while sir
Me and her we had us some fun

Now the jury brought in a guilty verdict
And the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom
With leather straps across my chest

Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir
And snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby
Is sittin right there on my lap

- Bruce Springsteen "Nebraska"

Mea culps. Need reading glasses. He wasn’t a 33 year vet, he’s a 33 year old vet. Still, I think he’s entitled to base privileges to get the legal amount of painkillers the wife may have needed.

The man who pulled the trigger is not responsible. He was doing it because his wife nagged him.

The wife who nagged him is not at fault, because she needed pills to support her raging drug habit.

The fact that she has a raging drug habit is not her fault, because she is an addict.

The fact that she is an addict is not at fault, because she could get pills prescribed until her husband lost his medical insurance.

The fact that he lost is medical insurance is not the husband’s fault, because he was fired.

It was not the husband’s fault that he was fired, because he was just stealing from a co-worker in order to support his wife’s drug habit.

The fact that he was stealing from his co-worker was not the husband’s fault, because the co-worker was stupid for having valuable stuff lying around where it could be stolen.

So, there you have it. It is the husband’s former co-worker’s fault that four people are dead. String him up!

"...Speaking of which...there are plenty of cancer patients who find their greatest and most manageable relief with marijuana, and we know how that goes down in Conservative circles..."

In MY conservative circle I actually give free pot to cancer and MS sufferers. To do otherwise would be immoral. There is a growing number of Conservatives, mostly young'uns or older, sick folks, that are coming around to the realization that pot is a blessing for those in pain. To deny a suffering person a relief when you have it in hand is immoral.

Thus I say "viva pot".
