Texas gun control activist shoots her three children dead
Washington Examiner ^ | November 2, 2019 | Ellie Bufkin

A mother in Texas was found dead alongside her three children on Friday in an apparent triple murder-suicide.

Ashley Auzenne, 39, was known to have been battling depression and anxiety in addition to physical ailments such as arthritis and lupus at the time of her death, which was ruled as a suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Her three children, Parrish, 11, Eleanor, 9, and Lincoln, 7, were also killed by gunshots and their mother is the only suspect. She had just finalized a contentious divorce from their father, Murvin Auzenne Jr.

Auzenne was a vocal advocate for stricter gun control in the United States with multiple social media postings calling for an end to gun violence and Facebook profile pictures that bore the hashtags #Enough and #EndGunViolence.

Authorities discovered the bodies of the woman and her children after they were called to Auzenne's home on Thursday by a relative who had requested a welfare check. "They were kids you wanted to have around, they really were. They played well, they talked to the adults. They're amazing children in all kinds of fantastic ways. The family has all rallied around my son, Murvin. Our focus is only on one thing: helping through this difficult time," the children's grandfather, Murvin Auzenne Sr, said to ABC 13.

Locals who knew the family in the neighborhood and school also expressed shock at the deaths of the Auzenne children and their mother. "I'm upset," neighbor Annette Flores told KPRC. "Children? Really? Children are innocent, I mean, I mean, it's just, it's a waste, and it's just really bad, and it makes me angry that someone would take it out on children."

“Yes a lot of people are sick and seem to be getting sicker
Or maybe it is just me”

No it’s not just you. We are experiencing some kind of mass insanity outbreak. It’s manifesting in many ways, none of them good.

Like we USED to say....

A dictionary is basically worthless if one can’t spell.

I hate people who hate.

I have no tolerance for intolerant people.

Liberals make sense.

Not quite oxymorons but definitely the start of a conundrum.

I knew a Pro football player that -despite college- couldn’t read.

He used to carry a newspaper and when questioned he would say he carried it so people would THINK he could read.
So maybe he wasn’t quite as dumb as we thought. Or was he?

You first observation is spot on, FRiend Wilmore. The fact you made it suggests that it’s definitely not you.

I have come to believe that mental illness is the plague of our time

If this deranged woman had just offed herself, I could simply say “good riddance.”

I don’t get sentimental over children, but this is several degrees beyond terrible.

We have become conditioned (as a society) to accept abortion even after birth. It's advocates serve in office (VA governor). Liberals don't think murdering babies after birth is terrible at all, because (one rationalization is, in many cases) 'the intent was to abort them anyway'.

Liberalism is a mental disorder, or is it 'mental illness is a liberal disorder'? It's becoming hard to tell the difference.

Michael Savage pointed out years ago that unstable liberals who have suicidal/homicidal thoughts project their instabilities into everyone else, hence their hatred of guns... they know they themselves can’t be trusted.

It’s in Enid, Oklahoma. It’s a sign for the Enid Oklahoma literacy Council.

A leftist acquaintance told me when I offered to teach her about guns, that she was afraid she would act on impulse and shoot herself if she handled one.

It appears that reports of insanity are becoming more common with increases in drug abuse and progressions of addictions.

Retroactive abortion. This was not hypocrisy in her mind.

Leaders in the leftist revolution of the 1960s (Kate Millett founder of NOW among them) were certifiably crazy. Their rantings have been taught in schools for half a century. Kate had been institutionalized against her will on several occasions after she became famous and wrote later that mental health evaluation was just a means to shutting down some ideas, she said that no one is crazy.

The Left promotes chaos. And the Marxists got deadly serious in the 1970s whether it was students killing and eating their teachers in China or Black Panthers advocating that children kill their parents of Jim Jones at Jonestown. The Left carried out thousands of bombings in the 1970s but we are supposed to think that radicalism got more peaceful after the 1960s.

"I have come to believe that mental illness is the plague of our time"

The list of social diseases has grown. What is plaguing us is the cause of the illness. Road rage, for example, exists for a reason and it's not just because of how some people drive.
