Last night, I did something I hadn't done about the current event in Connecticut. I am stuck on some things that make no sense to me, such as the distance from the house to the school, the location of the school from its driveway and surrounding territory, the reason to commit these heinous acts on that particular day, and the reason to raid the gun shop (and confiscate the record book, no doubt).
So, I started with my usual tactic of looking up the date. I found that Britain recognized Iraq on that day, and the Decembrists rose up in Russia, which was apparently anti-tsarist. Uthman became the 3rd caliph, and you'll recall that someone recited the Koran at 0bama's memorial event. Most critical for us, though, is that George Washington died on December 14th; you'll recall, the doctor's leeched him too death in their ignorance.
I quit looking for answers when I came on that piece of information. Someone, be it Satan himself, likes to twist the knife.
