In your case, it's your eastern neighbors too.

Its now reported van driver did not have gun; he *told* police "I have a gun in my pocket, shoot me, shoot me". They didn't.

They are saying he is mentally ill and not a terrorist.

I'm sure that makes the dead people feel so much better.

OK, the police don't have to look for a network.

But some non-Facebook web site (Giant?) took down his page idolizing some other mass-murderer who was/is part of a cult of men who are "involuntarily celebate" because women reject them. Sounds like a joke, but not funny to these murderers' victims.

Womenkind, as a whole, is pretty intelligent.
