http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/01/20/five-member-of-family-in-albuquerque-killed-by-15-year-old-son-with-military-style-rifle/We focus on the big mass shootings…those which make headlines that continue for weeks…Aurora, Sandy Hook, Fort Hood, Sikh Temple, Binghamton, NY.
But other, less deadly shootings are more the norm…all across the nation, as folks sort out their domestic conflicts or drug dealings with lethal results. We count the killings that occur with unwavering frequency in Covina, Hamilton, Hazard, every town…and now Albuquerque.
This weekend’s shooting is in Albuquerque…five are dead, father, mother and three children. The 15 year old shooter, Nehemiah Griego is in custody. Each victim had been shot multiple times. The victims were members of the Griego family, who neighbors described as active in the church, that the father is a pastor and that the family had 10 children, one of whom appears to be the shooter. A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department spokesman said several guns were found inside the home, including a “military-style” rifle that had been used in the crime.
The beat goes on, the body count goes up and the only common denominator to all the violence is a gun. With the national focus on gun violence…this one will get more attention than normal, this one will linger in the news as it has all the right elements that the media watch…number of dead, type of gun, children.
the horror of death especially when ta`ken by another does leave one speechless. i really looks like "we the people" will have to find that voice if we want some significant resolution. it's becoming more clear that a good part of gov't Dems too that are not serious or honest when they run campaign rhetoric and again when they take and accept the oath of office, looks like they are really into it for the perks and continuation of them by re-election.
we claim gov't of and by the people well it's time to test our Bill of Rights who's gov't is it really?
