Another day, another shooting spree. Good thing there were all those “good guys” with guns who stopped the “bad guy” in his tracks. Oh wait. That didn’t happen. Nor would that have necessarily produced a positive outcome. More deaths and injuries, maybe, but no guarantees that this rampage could have been stopped.

Instead, several people were killed and injured and the “bad guy” shot himself to death, so I guess he was also the “good guy” who shot the “bad guy.”

L.A. Times:

Orange County sheriff’s officials said they don’t know what prompted a series of shootings across multiple cities early Tuesday morning that left at least four people dead and others wounded.

Via KTLA, a local TV station here in Los Angeles:

ORANGE, Calif. (KTLA) — Four people are dead, including the suspected gunman, after shootings in multiple locations in Orange County Tuesday morning.

The shooter/carjacker was in his mid-twenties.

Witnesses reported seeing him armed with “two long guns.”

Today’s L.A. Times letter to the editor, because our voices matter:

Chimp slip

Re “O.C. Republican slammed for Obama-chimp email,” April 17, and “Sender of email issues an apology,” April 19

So an NPR executive is caught in a “sting” with two phony Saudi businessmen agreeing that the “tea party” is racist, and he loses his job. An Orange County GOP leader sends out an email portraying President Obama and his parents as chimpanzees, and there is no resignation or firing of the official, Marilyn Davenport.

In her defense, Davenport did issue a non-apology apology, in which she claims she is a devout Christian and lives her life in a Christ-like manner.

Here’s a news flash for Davenport and her GOP supporters: Jesus was not a bigot.

Oooooh, billionaire Meg was bust. ed:


Meg Whitman stages fake town hall in Orange County on March 10, 2010.

She’s in Orange County, for godsake. That’s about as friendly an audience as she could have. Not unlike being surrounded by eager puppies after you’ve bathed in Essence of Snausage.
