Some people just snap in one situation or another. Life can be a pressure cooker at times. Very sad.

Jason Rodriguez is under arrest!!!! See what can happen when so many public safety agencies work together? Good going OPD, OFD, OSCO, FBI...and any others involved in working this crime.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured and families of those who lost their lives.

Businesses can only hold their workers under their thumb for so long before people snap. Let this be a message to employers who break the law, abuse and take advantage of their employees. Autonation is one such company.

Is this a warning to businesses or is it a warning to the rest of us about how gutter trash like this shouldn't be allowed into our society.

This is not at all the same thing as the guy in Texas who shot so many yesterday. That guy was more of a home grown jihadist.

A man shot his estranged wife to death, along with their son and grandson, before turning the gun on himself as police closed in, authorities in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, said Sunday.
At least this scum bag that killed his family has the good grace to kill himself also - should have started there:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/09/06/louisiana...
Police say Dennis Carter Sr. shot four family members, three fatally, before turning the gun on himself.

Dennis Carter Sr., 50, also shot and critically injured his pregnant daughter-in-law, the parish sheriff's office said in a statement. The shootings occurred Saturday night in the town of Holden, Louisiana.

Authorities were dispatched to a report of shots fired at a home about 10:40 p.m. Upon arrival, they found three people dead and the fourth -- Amber Carter, 25 -- in critical condition, the statement said.

Those killed were Dennis Carter Jr., 26, Amber Carter's husband; their son Mason Carter, 2; and 49-year-old Donna Carter, mother of Dennis Carter Jr. and estranged wife of Dennis Carter Sr., police said. All had been shot to death. A 16-month-old child at the home was unharmed, authorities said.

Deputies believe Amber Carter attempted to escape from the gunman by jumping from a second-story window, holding Mason in her arms, the statement said, but the boy did not survive his gunshot wounds.

Amber Carter had several bullet wounds, said Perry Rushing, chief of operations for the sheriff's office, and authorities believe the gunman shot her in the back as she was attempting to get out the window while holding the child. She also may have been shot again after she got outside the home, Rushing told CNN.

Amber Carter was flown to a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, hospital, and later transferred to New Orleans, Rushing said. She was in critical condition as of Sunday morning.

A neighbor in the area told deputies that he heard a gunshot and saw Carter Sr. walking to a car, a red El Camino, with a gun in his hand, the sheriff's statement said.

At 11:30 p.m., a police officer in the adjacent town of Livingston saw the vehicle entering Interstate 12 heading eastbound, the statement said. A Livingston Parish sheriff's deputy followed the car and attempted to stop it. "However, the suspect shot himself with a handgun, in plain view of the officers, as the vehicle veered off the shoulder of the interstate near the Holden exit," police said.

Records from the Livingston Parish Detention Center show that Dennis Carter Sr., of Hammond, Louisiana, had been jailed "on three separate occasions in 2009 alone, on three separate charges of violation of a protective order and one charge of aggravated assault (domestic)," the sheriff's office said.

"At this time, there do not appear to be any other suspects or victims in this ongoing investigation," police

It's going to happen more and more. People do crazy things in desperate and trying times. When they have all hope of things getting better removed from their life, and they have lost everything, they have nothing to lose. Nothing matters, so they can pretty much indulge their id. If that means killing people, it don't matter to them, because they don't care if they die or not.
As more and more people lose everything and nobody cuts them a break or offers them a hand, you are going to see people snap and go berserk. It's not rational, it's like suicide. It's in the spur of the moment, when grief takes over, and it seems like there is no point in living anymore. My guess is that in a country of over 300 million people, where 10% of the population is in dire straits, if even 1/10th of 1% of those people are feeling froggy, you got 30,000 people ready to leap into a crowd of people with an automatic weapon and go nuts. Makes you want to call off sick, don't it?

Good job. Kill them before they kill others in Iraq or Afghanistan and rape their women. I think others should follow Major Hassan action.
