If the shooter is just going to kill himself anyway....why not just start there?

I hate people.

I couldn't agree more, dramamama. Just do us all a favor, skip the bloody violence, and end your own damned life. The bastard turned off the lights and sprayed the class. Local reports say the instructor was pregnant and teaching her last class before maternity leave. She died. No word on the other victims let alone motive yet.

I wish for peace for the victims and their families.

I expect the NRA to release a statement that this could have all been avoided if the gym clients had all been carrying guns.

In fact, it usually starts there.

From his creepy, creepy, creepy online diary:

July 23, 2009:

Wow!!

I just looked out my front window and saw a beautiful college-age girl leave Bob Fox's house, across the street. I guess he got a good lay today. College girls are hoez. I masturbate. Frequently. He is about 45 years old. She was a long haired, hot little hottie with a beautiful bod. I masturbate. Frequently. Some were simply meant to walk a lonely path in life. I don't usually look out, but just happened to notice. Holy ****. I have masturbated since age 13. Thanks, mum and brother (by blood alone). And dad, old man, for TOTALLY ignoring me through the years. All of you DEEPLY helped me be this way.

I wish I can go back to 1975 and fix things. Awe, that wont work, big BULLY BROTHER would assert his bull ****. He was twice my size. He never messed with guys bigger than 5'10, or so. He is a PUSSY at heart. Remember, Michael is my brother (we have common parents, that's all) is still a BOSS. Repetition only for emphasis: HE IS ONLY A BULLY, even at 50ish! Never forget that! Because he exudes confidence. People believe bull **** if delivered WITH CONFIDENCE. Get it??

On the same thought, things occured to me today. Michael NEVER had an attractive girlfriend. Debbie, Barb, Kim, ... then I lost track. Not to say I had any (execpt Pam, who was about a 7.25). He married a Chinese-descent, petite woman with no body, no ass, no chest and no personality. She never laughs or smiles, neither does he. But she is highly intelligent and an excellent cook. I can testify to that! She home bakes her own DELICIOUS wheat bread! But who cares about that type of small bull crap? Mike even mentioned when we were visiting dad that "she's not very attractive".

I don't know where I am going with this. I am getting tired, feels good to write and get it all out.

On still another thought, I had 20+ years of sobriety and achieved nothing about friendships, girlfriends, guys, etc. Zilch. What a waste.

Bye, for today.

A veritable Holden Caulfield.

Don't get me wrong now-he KILLED people. But-that entry screams out for help. Very sad.

That depresses me. My sister just had her baby this morning. I can't even imagine.

Today's paper reported that the instructor actually survived. She's 10 weeks pregnant, with bullet fragments lodged in her lungs and shoulder, but she (and the baby) are expected to survive, altho delivery will be more complicated now.

Three other women died. None knew the shooter.

Thank goodness.


I agree with Jane, that entry was a call for help. The man was troubled and anyone who reads any of his entries could figure that out.

Here's the thing: lots of people sometimes have feelings of being lonely. They feel something must be wrong with them. They sometimes think of their loneliness as a burden they don't want to bear.

I feel this way sometimes.

But not once have I thought the solution was to shoot up a roomful of strangers because their gender has disappointed me.

Sad and very very scary.
