Gun violence



Has anybody else noticed that there have been quite a few crazy shooters lately??? (more than the usual number of crazy shooters I mean) What's the deal here in America?

Everybody's homework: watch 'Bowling for Columbine', Michael Moore's look at Americans vs. Canadians and why we have so much more gun violence than other first world countries.

The latest appears to have been a woman. That's unusual. We'll just gloss over the fact that the shooting itself is no longer so unusual. Sigh.

Last week there was a crazy shooter in the south burbs of Chicago---went into a women's clothing store and shot 5 people. Yesterday a crazed shooter went into the City Hall building just outside St Louis, MO and shot 5 or 6 people.

America, we have a problem.

Yeah, and to think we once lived in pretty and quiet (?) Kirkwood, Mo! Gave me the shivers!
