Saturday night, a deranged lunatic opened fire in front of a downtown Portland underage night club killing 2 innocent teenagers. One of those was my neighbor’s daughter’s best friend. The other was a exchange student attending high school in Hood River where a relative of my wife is the Assistant Principal. Add that to the fact the murderer bought the gun from a pawn shop owned by a former neighbor of mine. Too close for comfort I’m afraid. Before all you nuts get your panties in a knot and blame the availability of guns for this tragic situation, I call shenanigans. The a$$hat was fucked up in the head, he could have easily driven his car up on the sidewalk and run them down or used a knife causing the same amount if not more damage.
In the artical I linked, once again our esteemed betters blame just about everything but the culprit himself. Violent Video games? Riiiiiight, if that was the case I personally would be responsible for shooting people on a daily basis.
An initial review of his computer seized from his apartment showed a preoccupation with violent video games, and some e-mails displaying potential anger toward preppies, investigators said.

While a student at McNary High School in Keizer, Ayala was a “student of concern,” Eckhart said. Sgt. Rich Austria said Ayala had “behavioral problems that involved local police intervention.
Hellllo, is this enough of a red flag to get this guy some help prior to his melt down? Oh yeah, they did.
Detectives’ brief interview with Ayala’s mother at the hospital this week revealed that he had been hospitalized and on medication when he was younger for depression or other mental health problems, but he wasn’t taking medication recently, Detective Mark Slater said.
This begs the question, where the hell were his parents and or family? Oh here it is.
On Jan. 7, Ayala returned to the store, interested in purchasing the gun, but he didn’t have the proper identification. Because he was not a U.S. citizen, Ayala, a native of Mexico, needed to have a resident card, and at least three months of utility bills, Kellim said.
………..
Ayala returned to the Milwaukie pawnshop two days later, on Jan. 9, with the proper paperwork, which he left with the store clerk. The store ran a background check, and Ayala returned late in the afternoon to pick up the gun when the sale was approved.
How much do you want to bet these docs were bought somewhere?
Office administrator Wendy Nelson-Baca said she hadn’t spoken to Ayala since he left a year and a half ago. But she remembered him as a good employee who came to work every day. “Erik was our top employee in terms of reaching performance standards both for production and low error rates,” she said.
Of course this is always the case. Little Johnny couldn’t have done such a thing, he was always such a nice boy. Rubbish.

Because of this I blame Barack Hussein Obama. Why not? I’ve heard nothing for the last four years that was not blamed on GWB. Glowball warming(its the Sun you morons), oil prices rising(supply and demand anybody?), Hurricane Katrina (controlling the weather?), civil liberties being curtailed (somebody please name one instance of this?), starving children (I suppose thats why we have an epedemic of obese children, so I’m told), terrorism (Of course, that just started when he enter office) and even Mel Gibson’s tirade is all his fault. All I have to say is you lefties will reap what you sow, so get used to it.
