We've had several diaries in the past few weeks regarding the tragic killings that have been taking place. For a western PA guy like me, the one in Pittsburgh yesterday struck close to home.
Now comes the story this morning that the shooter was living in his mother's home, and she was threatening to kick him out.

PITTSBURGH – An ambush that resulted in the shooting deaths of three Pittsburgh policemen was precipitated by a 911 call from the gunman's mother over a dog urinating in the house.
According to court papers, Richard Poplawski and his mother argued about his dog's accident Saturday morning, prompting her to threaten to evict him and to call police.
Some brief thoughts over the hump....
We often joke that the wingers are sitting in their undies in their parents' homes, banging away on their keyboards.
Now this. That appears to have been exactly the case this time.
Here's a guy who was on the tubes, spouting his wingnut fantasy-fears. Mom gets into it with him and threatens to throw him out. So, he shoots people.
This is what we are dealing with: Stunted, dangerous people.
There will be no civil war, contrary to what some are fearing. There will, however, be more and more examples of these wingnut types going off the deep end and causing damage to society. Of this, I have no doubt.
