To paraphrase YKWIA:

Why can't these people just shoot themselves and get it over with rather than mowing down countless others first?

Gunman kills 5 and then himself at Illinois college

The gunman, a former sociology graduate student, killed five and injured 18 (4 critically), before turning a gun on himself. He stepped out onto the stage of one of those big lecture halls and started shooting. He had a shotgun, two handguns, and plenty of ammunitition, doing a lot of damage in what amounted to a very short time. It was one of those introductory classes, so most of the students were probably freshmen and sophomores. And it wasn't a sociology class or teacher, either.

I just don't get that mentality, which is good, because usually if you can understand the crazies really well, it indicates you're crazy, too.

Speaking of crazy, there's the butcher knife hacking/stabbing death of a Manhattan therapist and the slashing of her office mate, with these new details...

Friend Is Questioned for Eight Hours in Killing of Therapist

He's not officially a suspect. I don't know who did this, but whoever did had their own brand of crazy to contend with. And what's with the fuzzy slippers and adult diapers?
