Does the yellow tape behind this truck surprise you?

?b3f6a5d7692ccc373d56e40cf708e3fa67d9af9d

The truck driven by Thomas Easley remained in the driveway of a Phoenix Street home after he killed his wife Marjeane and then turned the gun on himself.

(insert insulting ethnic group here) guy comes home, finds his wife in bed with another man. (ethnic) guy pulls out a gun and holds it to his head.

Wife and other guy start laughing.

(ethnic) guy says "Shut up ... You're next!"

If only it wasn't an "ethnic" joke, and was more reality when these idiots decide to pull this **** ...

that he had Alzheimer's. With Alzheimer's, he might have picked up a gun but he'd have tried to make coffee with it or something, people with Alzheimer's literally can't remember the beginning of a sentence by the time they get to the end of it.

It's a shame she didn't call the cops and get him hauled off and evaluated for other organic mental disease, preferably with treatment to decrease the paranoia and violence.

This sounds like a story of missed opportunities.

But yeah, that truck is a dead giveaway to a lot of rage.

Are you saying Obama supporters do not commit murder and/or suicide?
I had a good friend kill himself 2 years ago and he was a huge Obama supporter and a great progressive.
I really don't understand your (lack of) logic here...

to not support Obama or a sitting President even. It's quite another to have a HUGE view blocking sign on the back of your vehicle screaming for impeachment of President who's done nothing impeachable. A bit whacko, don't you think?

Surprising that you would need this explained to you.

Who would not do anything like this. I progressives that wouldn't either. I know a-political folks that wouldn't either.

This is a tragic incident, and I doubt politics were involved. Its just tragic.

Bat. Shit. Crazy. No wonder she wanted a divorce from him. I couldn't read the whole article. They have to take someone with them, don't they? They can't just take their own life and be done with it. There just isn't a deterrent for this problem.

PSA: "If you are Hell-bent on committing suicide, please don't take anyone with you!"
