Eight died in that Ohio execution

including a mother in bed with a four day old baby. Three young children were not slaughtered.

Oh there's a manhunt on now - funny I haven't seen a word on the Primary cable channels

almost as much as GOP voters do.

Why report mass shootings in a presidential election year?

There was no coverage nationally of the murder-suicide that happened here in Katy involving two toddlers on Tuesday.

A lot of the media channels are starting to keep these incidents as "Local Stories", or doing a complete black-out on them. The sensationalism of going National has inspired others to do "copycats", mostly loners/losers with low self esteem who see these other perps getting Nationwide attention and think in their diminished capacities that "hey, look at this guy with his name plastered all over the Country! By gawd, I can do the same thing and EVERYONE will know MY NAME!"

My 23 year old police officer nephew is out on an active shooter call right now in Columbia County, GA... 5 family members confirmed dead as of now... he is texting my sister as he can, to let her know that he is safe, but they are keeping it low-key and a local story for now...

He is relatively new to the force he is on, but far from a rookie. He was an Army MP, and was at Fort Hood when that shooting happened. We are all just waiting to hear that it is over, and he is safe....

Peace,

Ghost
