Five people, including three young children, were found shot to death in a home Tuesday morning, police said.

The victims included two adult women, two young children and an infant.

Detective Mary DeGeare of the Bakersfield Police Department said friends of the victims discovered the bodies early Tuesday.

This sounds like something from an episode of CSI.

DeGeare said police were seeking "some people of interest" but would not call them suspects.

Hmm, even though they found "some people of the not living", they won't call them victims.

Horrid. Simply horrid.

I'll be the first to throw out the traditional, perfectly unfounded accusation and say "JILTED BOYFRIEND/LOVER/HUSBAND DID IT!"

Above accusation based on zero facts or knowledge - it is based on the fact that there were no adult male victims.

Don't mean to make light of this situation, but did anyone catch on FOX News when the anchor mistakenly refered to the suspect of these shootings, Vince Brothers, as Vince *Foster*? I figured there are probably a lot of people on FNC who are obsessed with Foster's untimely death...

The perpetrator has been identified as a male elemaentary school assistant principal. If he were a gun shop propritor how large do you think the headlines would be.

I think that the headlines would be larger if the murderer was a school principal, not a gun shop owner.

But if it suits your agenda to think otherwise, so be it.

It's tough to figure this at all!!

You can try to sort out the killing of one adult by another adult, but babies!!??

Then again, babies are killed everyday. I'm gonna go cry now. :(

Well interestingly enough yesterday CNN was braying endlessly about the two young idioits in NJ who planned to shoot a numer of people but were to dumb to figure out how to start their Garden State massacre. The point was monotnously articulated that all these horrible guns they had with them were taken from the gunsafe of one of thier parents thus proving how dangerous it is to possess firearms. Now while CNN has covered the Bakersfield killing adequately there has been a complete lack of the breathless horror thier reports on the NJ idiots fairly dripped with.

I am guessing here but I believe the job of the perpetrator (and maybe his ethnicity) don't fit the pattern for the left liberal profile of a mass killer. Other major killings have been treated this way by the media (do you remember a guard at Graterford Prison in Pa killing 13 members of his wife or girlfriends extended family due his realationship with this woman ending. I imagine not as it was reported on the back pages of the front section of most papers. Not only does the media have fdefinite profiles for certain offenses they also bury or report without soundbite sensationalization of stories which do not contain the correct devil figures.
