Long before former postal employee Jennifer Sanmarco went on a suicidal rampage inside a mail processing plant in Santa Barbara, killing six people there and a seventh elsewhere, acquaintances and others took note of her odd behavior, a spiral of bizarre acts that began at least two years ago.

A former plant worker said the attacker had made racist comments in the past, and at least six of the victims were minorities, but investigators have refused to discuss a motive in the slayings.

But interviews with officials and others in New Mexico, Sanmarco's home state, to which she returned in 2004 after she lost her job at the mail facility, paint a picture of an unpredictable woman.

Did anybody else see that picture and think "that could be a man in a wig?"

[SittinYonder]

He's a tough looking broad.

She looks like Dr. Frank-n-furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

man...Bea Arthur sure had a lot of * work * done to himself.

“According to witnesses from the scene, she had a 9 mm pistol and reloaded at least once during her rampage,”

She was as crazy as a loon. She was in The Peoples' Republic of California.

Why didn't all that wonderful gun-control prevent this?

Good thing none of the victims were armed, the whackjob might've gotten hurt.

Thank God for weapon-free workplaces.

Well thank God that the post office forbids firearms on the premises! Otherwise she could have gotten hurt (before she killed her co-workers)

Yes, I immediately thought that too. I thought "Well she looks rather norm....er... is that man?"

[Toddsterpatriot]

You're right.

This "woman" killed a friend of mine - Charlotte Colton. The real issue here folks, is that the media, the courts and the ACLU/liberal establishment won't let the legislatures of this country pass laws to lock mentally ill people up - for their own sake and for that of the rest of us. Got it? This isn't about gun control, or gun safe workplaces (even though the physical security at the plant was shown to be worthless).

Yes, I 'm glad someone said it first. Except there's no Adams Apple.

[JMK]

"It's a man, baby!"

And why is that when they're referring to a male mass-murderer, they include the middle name, but here they're just using first and last names???

[joem15]

She (he?) has a 5 o'clock shadow around her (his?) Adam's apple.

[slackerjack]

I think she looks more like that Runaway Bride.
You know what George Carlin said about postal workers going nuts. They sort mail all day long and none of it is for them, so they snap!

[G.Mason]

"She looks like Dr. Frank-n-furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

Pretty damn close!

[xsrdx]

but here they're just using first and last names???

Jennifer Wayne Sanmarco?

[jsmith48]

She does kinda look like the runaway bride! They have those freaky eyes.

[G.Mason]

Ooops!

Missed ... again. ;)

You left the "unions" off the list of reasons why you can kill people easier than fire them. Although not nearly in the same category as your unfortunate friend, my husband who is a nonunion employee in a union shop had one of the "union brothers" throw hot coffee on him. Needless to say he fired him but the UAW promptly got the perpetrator his job back.
