Atlanta – Four Oakland, Calif., police officers shot down. An Alabama man strolling a small town with a rifle, looking for victims. Seven elderly people shot dead at a North Carolina nursing home. And on Sunday, six people, including four kids, died in an apparent murder-suicide in an upscale neighborhood in Santa Clara, Calif. The details in all these cases are still emerging. In most, the exact motive has yet to be determined – or may never be fully understood. On a broader level, however, such incidents may be happening more often because an increasing number of Americans feel desperate pressure from job losses and other economic hardship, criminologists say.

Thanks again SSRI.
Oh come on, we all know that violnce is linked to guns!
3 years from now they will be saying this:
“Bush did so much damage to the economy that not even Obama could save it.”
I thought it was global warming.
Violence is linked with stress?
SHOCKER!!!
Is violence linked to recession?....
Let’s see.....I lost my job and house....what next? I guess I don’t have to take any personal responsibility for this....so, I’ll go cap 8 people!
Is violence linked to liberalism? YES!
While all of the leftists will always blame all of the world’s problems on, both, conservatives and Republicans of, both, the past and present. Leftists will succeed in getting away with all of the damage that they will do to the entire U.S.
Just wait. A huge anti 2nd Amendment storm is brewing on the horizon. Our dictator-in-chief will be leading the way. Don’t think for a minute that Hussein’s current power grabs will not translate into gun grabs.
“Bush did so much damage to the economy that not even Obama could save it.”
Of course....No matter how incompetent this rookie is, the media will cover his butt.
Finally??? Welcome to the party pal!!!
;-)
That is great tagline material right there!
It appears that way....they will never get my guns....never.
The uptick in violence and breakdown of law is because we have an unindicted lawbreaker in the White House.
And yes, I know it’s much deeper than that, left off the /s tag.
Or the MSM is simply seeking out more of these gun related events and reporting them more often and more widely. All the better to whip up a frenzy in the face of 0bama’s gun grabbing plans.
The uptick in violence and breakdown of law is because we have an unindicted lawbreaker in the White House.
Exactly!.....That smooth talking used car salesman from Chicago is leading the way by example.
