Yes, its a good job the Moderator found this one....EARLY. Good job Moderator 3 :) This sounds like a very sad amount of events. A very beautiful couple and sister, gun down, over a parking spot argument. Why do we allow loose cannons with guns again? Since no 'honest and law abiding' gun owner would do such a thing. Apparently one did! Even on this forum, the Moderator (fortunately) stopped a thread I had originally created "Good Points on Firearms". The problem is, when people start to get mad and angry at something, the front half of their brain literally starts to shut down. The quicker they go to rage, the quicker that half of the brain shuts down. The front half of the human brain handles all the 'worldly' things like reading, reasoning, arts, thinking, being compassionate, etc. The back half handles emotions (i.e. happy, sad, joy, anger). When the front half of the brain shuts down due to anger, the back half has to pull 'double-duty', which it is not 'designed' to accomplish. That's why someone experiencing great happiness or joy not realizing the stunt they are in the mist off has several bad ways it can end (go look up 'fail blog' on youtube). This individual most likely get mad enough to resort to violence. With a firearm close by, and not ability to calm down or be patient; tragedy was not to far behind. Its been said on thread after thread, that its the responsibility of the owner of the firearm, to make sure its used correctly. Because we are human and prone to becoming so angry we stop thinking clearly. Now if the person did not have a firearm, he could have physically attacked the couple. Maybe kill one or more; but the likely outcome would be getting beaten up and him arrested. Its one thing to be charged with 'assault and battery'; its another to have three counts of murder going into trial. Racial or religious motivation to the attack? From the information that I have studied so far, its unknown. Maybe, maybe not. They looked like a cute couple studying to better themselves. And the sister too! Really sad....
