Look for the Gun Grabbers to be out in force tonight all being interviewed on the DNC Media. Oh it is coming, I can just feel the gun-grabing mob being whipped into a froth by the false messiah and his agent Holder. All of course being manipulated by the globes biggest gun grabber George Soros and his wench Rebeca Peters - you see what she did to Australia. With the UN loving gang now in charge, we will ultimately have to give up our guns to some UN treaty that we sign on to. Then the REVOLUTION starts in earnest.

Those are very good eats!

There’s a point in our lives where it doesn’t make sense to cut out all the ‘bad stuff’. Flavor and good solid nutrition trump low-cholesterol and fat-free every single time. At least, in my considered opinion, they do.

We gave up the "proper" nutrition when she went below 100lbs

And I know, even if she's not with me during lunch, that she knows what I am doing, and appreciates the efforts.

Heck, I brought a new toothbrush for her yesterday, and told her I was going to brush her teeth, and she was so helpful for it.

One of these days, after she's gone home, I'm gonna write a book, and set the world on it's ear!

I had an uncle in a home and they seem to put them in wheelchairs so they can get around or maybe so they don’t walk around and get hurt..

Why is the shooter always “alleged” even with mobs of witnesses?

Yeah...it's not like mobs are ever wrong!

Appears to by another tiny town rural town. The last one two weeks ago, was in the sleepy rural town of Samson, Alabama which killed 10 and wounded others.

Compared to major city gang banging it’s a drop in the bucket. The only difference is that the media doesn’t cover gang violence much anymore. It’s not even news it’s so common.

I was not referring to common crime, but these senseless mass murders, of the totally innocent, where people are murdered without motive or gain.

Here we go again. Anti-gunners and Obama will be “outraged” at this gun crime. Probably little mention of the guy who attacked people at a birthday party, stabbed one girl to death and cut off the head of the five year old whose birthday it was.

Yup. The stabbings and head cutting off sounds too much like the religion of peace bunch and the MSM will not come anywhere near that subject.

Not to be disrespectful but did you notice the names?

Bessie, Tessie and Jessie. You just don’t hear names like that nowdays.

Just Damn!

The residents didn't deserve that.... and neither did the nurse.

Heck, my grandmother, even in her chair (and her seatbelt on) would roll up and down the halls. Even now, she can pull herself along....

“I was not referring to common crime, but these senseless mass murders, of the totally innocent, where people are murdered without motive or gain.”

I’m confused.

Gang initiations and drive-by shootings often involve killing the innocent on a massive scale (when added together) with the motive and gain being only to look cool or protect turf, (I wouldn’t ever consider that common crime although it IS common) while rural mass killing is rare and usually perpetrated by the mentally ill.

What kind of a media does this country have when thrill killing gang members are rarely reported on anymore, cop killers get a headline for an hour or so on the news, but a mentally ill person in rural America gains headlines for days?

It’s all tragic, but the real tragedy is that one group of society (the gang member, no matter his race) has been given a pass of sorts as if murder is now a cultural phenomena to be understood and excused, while the rural murderer is the one used as the poster child for gun control.
