Shots fired by ‘gunman’ at ‘Full-Of-Victims Zone’.

Idaho — Man abducted his wife and child, then killed his mother.
(AP) – An Idaho man is being held without bail after authorities say he tied up his wife, forced her into the trunk of his car, put their infant in the back seat and drove to his mother’s home, where he ate dinner with his mother and then stabbed her to death.
Michael James Lee, 24, of Meridian was arraigned Wednesday on a first-degree murder charge in the death of 46-year-old Lynn Marie Blake. He was arrested Tuesday night at his mother’s home in Eagle, about 15 miles northwest of Boise.
The last sentence of the article makes one stop and wonder a bit:
During a brief court appearance, he was ordered held without bail in the Ada County Jail, where he worked for two years before being fired in January 2010.
My guess is his neighbors will say he’s a really nice guy, led a quiet life, helped out around the block and yada yada yada……

You can already imagine what’s coming in the article you’re about to read.

Butler’s motive was under investigation, Omaha Police Chief Alex Hayes told reporters, but his father was a police detective, which gave the son access to firearms.
Nice inference Mr. “Journalist”. Just because the kid’s dad is L.E. means that’s the one and only way he can get his hands on weapons, right ? You disingenuous hypocritical leftist piece of sh……….
I’d better stop.

Please take some time out of your day to say a prayer for those lost and wounded, plus give thanks to those in L.E. who are out there all day every day in an attempt to help keep our society civil.

Who knows
belcatar (Diary) Wednesday, January 5th at 10:20PM EDT (link)How many armed citizens prevented violence with their firearms during the same day? We’ll never know, since the news doesn’t have headlines like “5000 armed women weren’t raped last month” or “Hundreds of armed homeowners were not robbed in the past week.”
It would never do to report such things, since no one likes to read good news, and those who despise self-sufficiency in any form will stop at nothing to destroy it.
Since the Heller decision...
bobmontgomery (Diary) Wednesday, January 5th at 10:56PM EDT (link)…it is reported that homicides have dropped dramatically for the second year in a row in DC. The gun grabbers still make it difficult for DC residents to defend themselves, but without any other obvious factor coming forth, it seems that just the mere decision by the Supremes, and it’s publicity, have had a chilling effect on the spontaneous urge to commit murderous mayhem.
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

I also bet the ‘gunman’ was always helping old ladies cross the street, the ‘gunman’ was constantly rescuing kitties from trees and the ‘gunman’ was saving neighborhood kids from the evils of gangs and more on a daily basis.
Anyone notice something else about the ‘gunman’ and his victims ?
