I do believe it is the person behind Abby (sp?) and SueStorm, although I am not sure. Either way, get the hell out of here Ultron! You're ruining my chance to shine.

What in the hell are you babbling about, Ultron?! Good Lord. I know I seem like a wacko on here but... c'mon... at least make some coherent sense.

One the shooters in the Texas Mohammed-drawing contest played Conrad Birdie in a production of Bye Bye Birdie at his elite Pakistani high school.

"He was always good looking, throwing back his long silky hair," said one former schoolmate, speaking on condition of anonymity, "but after the play he did, wow! He was Mr Elvis of school!"

They made BUTTONS?  My high school production wasn't able to afford that sort of extravagance.

Kentucky deputy accidentally shoots his own mom after bringing gun to wedding

It was an elite Pakistani high school. That's how they could afford buttons.

Then his parents divorced and he moved to Arizona and ran a dry cleaners.

But apparently his dream of singing "One Last Kiss" on a bigger stage had been dashed and he turned to a life of terror.

Maybe "More Musicals!" is the best way to reduce shootings.

Maybe we could get these scheduled everywhere and tell the police not to show up, seems like a can't lose at that point.

Not up on my marvel Universe, but isn't Ultron a self cloning villain?

"That'll keep you busy. Every weekend a black person gets shot or killed or shot and killed."

I thought guns saved people.

The great poet Maya Angelou wrote eloquently about pain and loss.

 

Words of bright, colors full
wrap the soul in comfort's wool
Words of dark, colors bare
wrap the soul in torture's despair.
Coated kindness, soothing cool
Lies burn the ignorant fool
Simple phrases, easily uttered
Damning life with hell's clutter
The world steals lives so young
Silencing songs yet fully sung
Mother's children picked before ripe
Due to the Devil's otherworldly spite
If we could have them back
Please give them back
Let us live a life to the full
Wrapped in their soul's comfort wool
Do not leave us bare
Wrapped in death's damning despair
Pain needs silence within
Guilt weighs heavy due to sin
Drunk to drown, Drug to bound
All to silence evil's sound
Wrong's anchor drags and slows
Dimming our life's vibrant glow
And though we try for a good life
We're entangled in barbwire's strife
Give us liberty
hold back death
Let us breathe peace's calming breath
Whisper lies, tickle our ear
Subsiding all our grumbling fears
Hug us tight, let tears flow
For peace we'll never know.

"Gun love will be harder to defeat than the billionaire's. Renart please report back and tell us how this guy came to be a gun owner. An obvious case of someone having a bad day?"

 

I'm not aware of how he got the gun but he was a veteran and I'm sure would have passed all background checks. His fiancee broke off their engagement the week before and they had a fight earlier in the day Sunday. He went to the Trestle Trail (a former railroad bridge converted to a walking/biking trail) and opened fire on random strangers then killed himself. Being a bridge, no one had anywhere to hide. He killed a father and daughter in front of the rest of the family. The mother, despite having three bullets in her got her surviving children to the end of the bridge and told them to yell for help. http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/05/us/wisconsin-shooting/
