Was it an AR-15 assault knife with a high capacity magazine?

its more than drugs...its the total lack of impulse control or critical thinking, let alone a sense of proportion.....(low IQ)...that’s the kindest thing I can say...

Exactly. Drugs combined with a mind undisciplined in impulse control is a bad combination. The irony of it is that a mind with impulse control problems is most likely to do drugs. Once that connection is made, the person is a walking time bomb.

We are in complete agreement there.
Because you know this will manifest itself as a "need" for more firearms restrictions.

I thought about stabbing myself in the ears the first time I heard one of Nicky Minaj’s “songs”.

Grandmaster Flash, she ain’t. She’s not even even Biz Markie...

Bad neighborhood. You don’t get out of your car in the daytime, and you don’t drive through at night. There used to be a crab wholesaler at that corner. We’d go down at about lunch time — the first few quart bottles of beer they drank for lunch made them happy. Any later in the day and it was suicide. Hell, the old black ladies would kill you for looking at them funny.
