I think this all started, I think by a man who shot a horse. Then it has seemingly spiraled out of control from there.
Sunday was probably the worst, though there have been other incidents too. The incident of a father killing his three young daughters, comes to mind. Then two weeks ago on Fathers’ Day. There a motorcyclist was ran into by a man who also tried car jacking another car and shot an Idaho man who had a permit to carry a firearm.
Now this incident has no rhyme or reason. Three firefighters, who responded to an intentionally started brush fire were shot, two of them died on scene, and third fighting for his life.
It’s not uncommon in this area to see something like this in a year’s time. What has blown my mind, probably most everyone else too, was that all four-incidents occurred within weeks of each other.
My objection was how inhumane people seemingly have gotten lately: killing three young girls, shooting a horse, going on a road rage rampage, and ambushing first responders. It seems if there is a motive involved is that these men all have some mental defect that may or may not present itself once the truth is revealed.
The horse shooting incident has me especially worried because most future serial killers begin their journey killing family pets and goes on from there. So the future of our area may well be predicted in the next ten or fifteen years from now.
Yes, I wish that we lived in an idyllic world of peace, harmony, and love, but unfortunately that’s an ideal that may well be outside the realm of reality. God bless the victims.
