sorry, then, for jumping at you; i apologize. i misunderstood your comment. i've begun to label my own {sarcasm} in my posts, since i use it so often! those "clueless" icons often puzzle me, too. straightforward, clear thinking is labeled...well, you know...clueless, mean, incendiary.
i guess i can explain the "mindset" of a mass killer as a damaged, irrational, mentally ill...and, yes, evil human being.
there can be no greater loss than a child. there are no words to comfort.

I dont wanna see violence.. But im tired of dope smoking hippies taking away what is my right as an american.. I cant have a Manger scene in my yard anymore cus of them..
& everytime some nut job steals their dads gun, its blame the guns.. Yall are lucky to live somewhere that has not much violence.. Here, you point at someone riding down the road you get shot at & home invasions are part of our culture.. You honestly think I like that?? I cant change it & I feel sorry for the 20 lil Angels that were murdered by some sicko at Christmas time, just waiting for Christmas vacation & presents that will stay unopened for years..
People say we need to find our way.. Did we ever have our way or was it an illusion? I dont make the laws but im forced to follow them.. Last Christmas I got a fine from where I work for simply telling a darn yankee dope smokin hippie liberal "Merry Christmas".. He couldnt say nothing to my face like I actually did anything wrong, he told my boss "he felt uncomfortable being told Merry Christmas by a stranger" & some other crap, so I lost 5grand over the darn stupid Yank..

I think irrational is the key word. I can´t find a rationale for this. Even a serial killer ususally has some kind of twisted rationale.
And Snowy, I´m sorry if I twisted your words.

And the real scary part? Where does it go from here? Gotta top the last one right? Preschools? Daycares? Maternity wards? This needs to be fixed.

the pendulum swings the liberal way in Massachusetts, but i say MERRY CHRISTMAS!, and i believe in God.
CT is our beloved home state, and so i am especially saddened and touched by the mass killings there, along with a notable home invasion and gruesome murders in Cheshire, CT in the recent past...as well as the memory of horrific home invasions in New Hampshire history.
still, i cannot be moved to arm myself and, therefore, consider acting to kill another human being. even in self-defense.
if there is anything i've learned in this life, Emmett, it is to consider each issue separately; when examined closely, very few fall to black or white.

I understand.. Im just in a bad mood cus I got a ticket for having a Manger Scene in my yard & forced to take it down infront of my daughter with her asking me "Why daddy, dont you believe in the 3 wise men & Jesus?"..
My manger scene was "offensive" to who?? There are no synogaugs here & I know Jewish people who could care less.. Sterotypes from North & South differ very much.. What is seen in NY, the same people live a "hidden peaceful" life here.. I mean no offense & respect your opinion, just a bad weekend to come home from defending diplomats & they take my Christmas Scenery away..
& JWB.. Yank is a term I used when im angry at a particular set of them.. It is not a slur as u may think im using it as.. I used it when I lived in Brooklyn cus im from Sicily.. Its better than cursing :) & it wasnt a co worker.. It was a dope smoking hippie yank diplomat that I was protecting at christmas time & instead of paying me, complained to my boss & cheated me for saying "Merry Christmas"..

Let me tell a little story about the one time in my life I ever ran out of gas.
I was drivin up i91to NH from CT during the fall of 02, iirc. I used to always take i89s to w Lebanon and I'd always fill up there because gas in NH used to be much cheaper than everywhere else. I was driving with an old friend from CT and we were talking and I just wasn't paying attention at all an like an idiot ran out of gas right at the exit for 89s off 91. If I had the tiniest amount of gas more I could've coasted down the hill to west leb but that wasn't to be. Luckily I had a gas can in my car so we got out and walked down to w leb and bought a gallon of gas(sketchiest walk ever walking over the bridge across the CT river with its 5" wide shoulder but that's another story).
So we walked about 1-2 mile round trip and got the gas and as we were walkin back up the exit ramp we noticed there was a car that had stopped next to mine. We both assumed it was a cop who had stopped, my buddy really didn't want to talk to the cop for a reason I'm still not entirely sure of and I didn't particularly feel like dealing with a cop either because they often make simple things take really long times so we decided to just sit on the grass off the exit ramp and chill for a little bit until he left. I figured he was gonna put one of those bright orange stickers on my window and move on.
After about a half hour of sitting there I was like 'WTH are we doing here? The whole reason we're waitin was because we thought the cop was gonna take forever so now we're gonna sit here for an hour?'. It looked obvious that he wasn't gonna leave and there being no real reason not to go talk to him I was like screw this, I'm going to go talk to the guy and be on our way. I thought it highly odd a cop would sit there for so long for no reason but whatever.
So I started to walk up the ramp and as I could see over the hill I noticed it wasn't a cop at all, but rather some guy sitting there in a dark jeep Cherokee, which for some reason struck me as extremely odd. I just got a really strange feeling from the situation. For some reason I decided to put the gas can down and just walk up to the car so it would appear that I still needed help.
So I start walking up the exit ramp towards the cars and as I got about 30-50' away from the guy I also came under the streetlight and the guy could see me, I could just barely see him.
Well I come under the streetlight and he could see that I was a man and he took off like a bat out of hell. He didn't just drive away, he took off like in a drag race or something, like he REALLY didn't want me to see his face or his tag #.
.
If he was a friendly motorist stopping to help, then why didn't he want to see if I needed any help? I had no gas can in my hand so how did he know I didn't need a ride or any help? Why didn't he want to help me anymore after seein I was a guy? Why did he sit there sooo long only to leave as soon as I got close to my car? It was over 30min the guy was sitting there. why did he not only leave why did he leave at such a high rate of speed? He seemed very concerned about me seeing his face or even tag #.
I often wonder what would've happened if I was a young woman walkin back to my car, for some reason I don't think he would've left.
I truly believe that I came across the CRVK that night on 91. That is one of the reasons I believe so strongly that there is a good chance Maura came across this guy on her trip up north..
I swear on everything I love that this story is completely true. Am I 100% this was the CRVK? No, maybe he was just a weirdo that only helps girls, maybe he thought I was some weirdo who was setting him up by
.
I just thank god that it was me and not one of the girls I knew that had this experience. This is one of the reasons my girl has a can of mace on her at all times and a tazer in her purse..
