Four Seattle Police Officers were killed yesterday, in what is already being dubbed a "massacre", when suspected gun man, Maurice Clemmons, walked into the coffee shop and opened fire upon the officers as they sat catching up on paperwork at the beginning of their shifts. At this time the suspect is still at large but believed to have been wounded by one of his victims, and may even be dead.

God bless the families of these officers and God bless all the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.

There is no doubt that some of the people who commit these terrible crimes are mentally disturbed, but I do wonder how much of these types of things are brought on by years of pent up rage?

So many people feel stuck and unhappy in their lives and they don't know how to do anything about it and so they just simmer in their disappointment and then disappointment turns to anger and then anger to rage until one day they just explode and take their frustrations out of the innocent. So sad.

Very sad - it is happening more and more over here too. So many parents seem to be killing their children.
