I don't think I've posted this before. Peter Hitchens, Christopher's brother, is pretty on top of things when it comes to all the bizarre mass murders we've seen in recent years. Best commentary on it I've read. What he said about Breivik pretty much applies to all those who've done the same sort of act since.

Get ready to be inspired and also feel incredibly lazy, because Fauja Singh is a 101-year-old who runs marathons. Damn you, Singh; now I feel like an even bigger jerk for skipping my walk-jog today. Obviously this is all your fault, you goddamned beautiful human being.

Known as the "turbaned tornado", Singh began running marathons at the tender age of 89 as a way to cope with his grief over the death of his wife and eldest child. Since then, he's run at least eight marathons and set numerous records for his age group.

Jeez, I didn't expect a news story to just come flat out with it.

From ABC News:

Giving a cranky child cough medicine to put him or her to sleep may not seem like child abuse, but it can be dangerous or even deadly for the child.

It's everywhere:

9:49 a.m., Feb. 13 — Police this morning have announced the arrest of Chad Ryan Desoto, 21 from Tamuning for two counts of murder, 13 counts of attempted murder and 13 counts of aggravated assault. Additional charges may be pending.

7:45 a.m., Feb. 13 — Police haven't confirmed but friends have identified the man who was taken from the scene of the Tumon stabbings last night and placed into police custody as Chad De Soto.

A little bit of a plus in all this darkness? Maybe?

I worked for a rap magazine years ago that had a lot of drug ties to it. One of the main promotion guys was shot and murdered.

As a friend put it, "More proof we are getting less attached to true "self-responsibility" as it pertains to living in a community and more unaware of "consequences for our actions" is a look at how we viewed the 2nd amendment back then."

I don't even know what to write about stories like this.

Maybe I do! Thank you, artappraiser, for getting me thinking. This and the gun issue are not at all unconnected. Everything in this country is a business - we have no social compacts like many cultures do as everything literally is about money, money, money. Foster kids and the children of broken families in general are the most likely to get a fake disorder slapped on them - as psychiatric care for children usually poses as a surrogate parent.

"He was on serious medications to deal with his issues."

There is no actual medication for "Asperger's syndrome," which is what his brother said he had - because "Asperger's" isn't a real thing. "Asperger's" is allegedly a lack of normal social awareness and behavior - a catch-all just like bipolar disorder, ADD and all the other made up "mental disorders" that psychiatrists have pushed in order to generate an income based on selling pharmaceutical drugs.

Brutal pictures attached - fair warning.
