An off-duty sheriff's deputy used a police-style AR-15 rifle to kill six people at an early morning party in a small Wisconsin town, officials said Monday.

Twenty-year-old Tyler Peterson had gone to the party early Sunday to make amends with his ex-girlfriend, a friend of Peterson's told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Peterson lost control after people called him a "worthless pig," Mike Kegley told the paper.

Peterson left and got a police-style AR-15 rifle from his truck, forced his way back into the apartment and fired about 30 rounds at about 2:45 a.m. (3:45 a.m. ET). Six people were killed; one person survived and is hospitalized, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said at a Monday news conference.

And then the very next day.... this...

A 14-year-old student has shot himself dead after going on a shooting spree at his school in the US city of Cleveland, Ohio, the city's mayor has said.
Mayor Frank Jackson said four people were wounded when the teenager entered the SuccessTech Academy and walked down a corridor on the fourth floor firing.

Two teenage boys and two adults were shot, and another girl injured her knee while fleeing, Mr Jackson said.

Local media reported the attacker had been unhappy at having been suspended.

Sometimes I think we're living in a horror movie.

Eyelid and I were discussing this a while back.

I am still trying to come up with an intelligent reply.

You know me sister
my monkey brain always looking for dots to connect
I can see a pattern.

Too much waragra
I mean that as a metaphor I guess
for testoserone poisoning

and our father's hell did slowly go by

[stilltrucking]

too tired to search for link to eyelid discussion
It was around the time of the VT murders

and Columbine

and Iraq

it was a very interesting conversation

rambling

[stilltrucking]

Shootings in Iraq
who gives a fuck?

US military regrets the death of nine children and six women in raid.

But it was okay
cause we had to destroy the village to save it

Meanwhile the CLeveland school district has taken measures to ensure that it will never happen again. I suppose they will be checking out the homework kids do for English class. See if their any abnormal stories being written. Remember modern ancient on litkicks, he wrote that story about a shot gun and his sleeping parents?


I am sure the violence on TV, Video Games, and Movies has nothing to do with all this. And it is up against the wall red necked mothers who have raised your sons so well.

I don't know who is to bless and who to blame
The bell curve has struck me as the new mystical symbol for the ages.
If souls are reborn I wonder where all these new people are coming from. More people alive today then have ever lived.
I have heard it said that the earth can support a human population of 50 billion if we are careful. But where are those other 44 billion souls. Has the universe run out of new souls for the increasing population. So that more souless monsters are being born.

The greater the population the more crazies you going to have out on the tail ends, most of us will be normals under the big hump
and out on the tail ends of the curves the one percenters
the saints and sinners


I never could get eyelid to hear me
We are all natural born killers
The Cro Magnon men
the first artists
the super predators

morning maniac mourning
nothing else to do but go to work

scribble scribble

I said:

The greater the population the more crazies you going to have out on the tail ends, most of us will be normals under the big hump
and out on the tail ends of the curves the one percenters
the saints and sinners

Are you a normal?
I am not too sure about myself

I can see myself in the middle of the hump so far as my so called IQ goes but I can see myself among the one percenters too, a lot more one percenters than ever before in recorded history. Maybe the proportion of the total poplulation has not changed, but one per cent of a six billion is a hell of a lot bigger number than one percent of five million (to pick an arbitrary number for the population in Roman times for example.

so we going to have more homicidal maniacs than ever before. How much of this is nature and what is nurture?

I had this conversation with abstroint a couple of years ago. I think she shot down the nurture nature thing. I cant remember what she said. I will see if I can find it.

[stilltrucking]

Or it could be like in that trashy black and white sci movie Gog

[stilltrucking]

There will be a million reasons for the shootings. Plenty of psychologists and psychiatrists and social workers educators will study the incident

They will “type” the shooter, profile him and they will be double vigilant for any signs of insanity in any other kids. But will anyone figure out how to stop the pattern. This is what eyelid was saying about how Marlyn Manson’s felt about the reaction to the stories that he influenced those columbine killers to do it. Or the movie Matrix.

I don’t know what to think, maybe I should be wearing an aluminum foil hat to ward off the evil thoughts that a secrete government agency is broadcasting into my brain. Or is it satan and these are the tribulations or maybe in is space aliens bombarding the earth with murderous energy waves.

I don’t think there is any way to prevent it. Not in this culture.
It could be Gog or Satan space aliens, or the CIA for all I know.

But common sense tells me that the so called entertainment media has a lot to do with it.

Shit I hate to believe that people are such sheep

I can only speak for myself
I know I was born to follow

As for the deputy sherriff
I wonder if he ever trained at Blackwater's lodge in North Carolina?

going to let this one go
Hurts my head
I am not as interested in the source of evil as I used to be.
Nietzsche laid it at God's feet.

but seems to be alive and still in the white house these days

america is number one
in domestic violence
in pollution
in the gap between the poor and the wealthy

as yes california has passed a law that will require the ammo for automatic weapons to have the serial number of the weapon printed on the shell casings

the nra, which opposes this, says it will not work
plus it will drive up the cost of ammo

jeeze waiting for a swat unit to come crashing thru my front door
it happenned awhile back in south st pete
an elderly black lady thought they was burglars
they were at the wrong residunce
she shot at them and they killed her
oops
they had better leave my wife alone
i will go down tearing at them

meanwhile we are exporting weapons technology for profit
and the homeland is scared
they want to elect a dictator
who will continue to ignore the domestic scene
and suppress dissent
and manufacture consent

but we will carry on
knowing that we have a baseline of trust
here on the yellow brick road

i'll get you my pretty
hahahaha

started reading the koran
he gets into adam naming the many colored things
and is graced by the allmighty's compassion as eve and adam leave
the garden
and we seperate all things with boundaries
why we like spontaneous bop
no boundaries
ken wilber
beyond the names
how does electron number 3 know what to do?
what made the human brain?
something very basic in consciousness

and i saw the kid shoot down another at the corner donut shop
he stood over him jumping and shooting
then ran
murder number 492 in detroit
1977

no wonder kids get killing fantasies
and young cops go berzerk

we live in a runaway culture
it's loco

TelevisionThe average child will watch 8000 murders on TV before finishing elementary school. By age eighteen, the average American has seen 200000 acts of violence ...

Some people can't deal with TV
I remember vaguely a psych experiment I volunteered for at UofMD psych department

watch violent videos on a monitor while my Galvanic skin response was recorded. Seems there was a decrease in sensitivity over time.

Not saying that TV is the only problem, but I think it matters.

[e_dog]

this why we need Blackwater and BlackHawks. We engage in gratuitous killings over there so we don't have school shootings at home.

Send the postal service over there.

Michael Vick, too -- who let the dogs out!?
