No God in America.

Why were so many people at a spa on Sunday morning?

The description from their web page doesn't sound like a "gay" spa:

The description from their web page doesn't sound like a "gay" spa:

I turned to CNN because a post said they were carrying it live. I heard them say "gay spa." I backed it up to make sure that's what they said, and yep. That is what they said. Maybe they were wrong, but it is what they reported.

If only criminals could read the “gun-free zone” signs the way that deer can read the “deer crossing” signs.

Lemme guess: someone on anti-depressants

More often that not, that does seem to be the case in these incidents.

Sunday is not the Sabbath for all religions ... not even all Christian religions (i.e. Seventh Day Adventists).

[DoughtyOne]

It could be. I don’t live in the area, so I’m not sure.

I’d like to see a study on how many of these shooters are under a Psychologist’s care, and what their medication regimen was.

For the record, I too, believe there's a connection to modern pharmaceuticals. This site has lots of data on the subject:

“authorities are searching for a 6’1”, 270 lb. African-American with a bald head and brown eyes.

He was reportedly driving a black 2003 Mazda. Authorities believe he may be from Brown Deer.”

Several thoughts are going thru my head right now.
1) This close to an election? Its gotta be NOI.
2) Spa was the place of the shooting, only one suspect mentioned? Domestic violence gone outa control.
3) DU has probably already blamed the Tea Party for this.

Thanks for the mention. Strange isn’t it...

[LizardQueen]

Probably meant “day spa”. Shows where their minds are at...

[In Maryland]

Well, it could be. More likely it is a "day" spa. But CNN has never been noted for precision.

I'm not disputing CNN said it.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, that’s not a bad point to make either.

It makes sense to me also.

I don’t know. Was this guy someone they offended?

It will be interesting to see what brought this on.
