Desperate people do desperate things. It sounds like the shooter was an old man distraught over losing his home and his pets. I suspect that he was repeatedly pushed beyond what he could bear and finally lashed out. I can't defend him, but at the same time I am reluctant to condemn him as a crazy old coot who needs the needle in his arm. God knows I've had a few brushes with perfect despair these last two years. But for the grace of God and the Perseverance of the Saints I might be in the ground myself.

There are moe desperae people every day. I expect a LOT more of this, and soon.

Too bad he wasn’t pushed to the point of making payments.

Very well said jboot, "There are more desperate people every day. I expect a LOT more of this, and soon".

Someone also once said "calling it your job don't make it right", words that are going to see many people in mourning.
