We’re not dealing with Mensa candidates here. He reminds me of the sad sack who robbed a guy, tried to shoot him, gun wouldn’t fire, robber looked down the barrel, discovered for a brief instant what a “hangfire” looks like. True story.

Thanks for the news that he blamed doc for mother's death.

Exact scenario happened at a hospital I was working at awhile ago. A man entered with gun and started killing whoever he saw on his way to my floor. We lost good people. The deranged man was angry at a doc (can't even remember who) for the death of his mom. Middle aged man who obviously was a rageaholic and only had mom in his life.

Now we’ll never know why he did it. :(

We already know why he did it. I read yesterday he was a former cop, when the cops pressed in on him he took his own life rather than engage other police officers. For that I give him credit. He dough only two graves in his quest for revenge.

There are a lot of sick and twisted people out there with no life who allow themselves to be consumed by their hate and rage.

We are seeing it with an entire subset of American leftists right now. We should not take them for granted or let our guard down when around them. They are dangerous. Just ask Scalise and the other people there at the ball field that day. Some other nutbag has already threatened to kill him now.

This scenario with this guy is like it with these radicalized leftists. It’s akin to an old time coffee pot percolating as it puts the water through the coffee grounds over and over while boiling until finally it’s strong enough to be done. The left is percolating.

My mon's life was save by a surgeon at Johns Hopkins back in the mid-90's who had pioneered a proceedure for restoring nerve tissue along the spine. He was the only one in the world doing these surgeries and people came from all over the world to be fixed.

The wait list was forever. My mom was on it but would have died waiting. Someone cancelled at the last minute, and because she lived in Baltimore, my mother was in surgery the next day. Most surgeries were successful, but some werent, and the patient ended up a quadriplegic.

About a year later, one of Dr. Cohen's patients ended up a quadriplegic. Her husband came into the hospital the next day and shot her dead, shot Cr. Cohen, and then killed himself. Cohen lived but could no longer do surgery, nor did he want to. Imagine waiting for this life saving surgery and the only doctor doing it is shot by a guy like in the article.
