The number of these rampages seems to be escalating. I guess they missed the memo about “hope” and “change”.

Actually we WILL see an increase in violence, suicide/murders, shootings and etc as people start to lose their jobs, lose their homes and when they lose everything, they will lose it. Starting in Jan 2009 we lost approx 650,000 jobs per month till Mar 2009, assuming their is no updates to the figures. Today the Jan 2009 figures were updated from 690,000 to 740,000. Thus in Apr 2009, the 650,000 number for Feb 2009 could be updated higher. In other words the US unemployment numbers are accelerating. Today we are at 8.5 percent, but it does not include people who gave up and people who want full time hours but are forced to cut back to part time hours. If they are included (they were included during the Great Depression calculations), our unemployment rate is really at 15 percent. Seven US states have unemployment rates of 10+ percent, and using the Depression method of calculating unemployment they are at 18 to 19 percent unemployment. During the US Great Depression, average unemployment was 25 percent.

Im just another wacko conspiracy theorist, but I would say “their” plan is working. However they trigger these attacks, they are a means to justify gun/ammo control confiscation.

Maybe he just realized the “hope” and “change” was not the change he was hoping for but the same crap he and his ancestors had wanted to get away from.
