Man that’s scary; hope those injured pull through…
What in the world is this world coming to?
Is this in response to such widespread news coverage we now have, compared to years ago or what? Is it giving people ideas of this being a suitable response by disgruntled people to get even with whomever, or is it something more sinister?
Times they are a’changing. Like the song said. Besides. What’s the penalty?
This isn’t new Give More hence the term “going postal”. What is the world coming to you say? People have been killing people for a very long time. Penalty doesn’t matter Harbinger.
What I find interesting is a link from 250 news about a botched execution in the US. The inmate dying sounds like a success to me! So the poor bugger suffered like his victim, karma I guess.

News conference reports 2 dead 2 injured 1 in custody.
It’ll all be the employer’s fault. He should’ve known some deranged nutcase was going to open fire in the workplace. It’s already happened before, should’ve been a wake up call that nutcase workers are reaching dangerous levels. Assess the Company a million dollar penalty, jail the owner and managers for criminal negligence, even. Get Worksafe BC to write some Stop Work Orders until every mill has security guards on site, and full facilities for doing full strip searches of anyone coming onto the property.
This has nothing to do with people. This is purely a gun issue!
And sadly there are folks who will see the sarcasm in socredibles comment and not in dragons…
