6th Circle of Hell…wait no that’s just the U.S.

I hate to be a downer but since this site is devoted to the MADNESS of our world I thought it appropriate to take a step back from the random violence and chaos encircling our world and obtain stock of the recent insanity that has descended like a dark cloud over our reality.

• 4 members of the Oakland police force were murdered by a thug.
• Illiterate, immigrant brutually murders 14 in New York State Immigration Center.
• Washington man murders family with Axe.
• Also in Washington a man shoots himself while viewing Watchmen. You can’t make this stuff up.
• Pittsburg man kills 3 police officers worried that, “Obama was going to take his guns.”
• Child found hacked up in a suitcase in Tracy, CA.
• Man kills his 5 kids when wife says she’s leaving him. Guess he must have been taking notes from another man who also kills self and family of 5 in after being fired.
• Another day another 5 people murdered in Alabama.

The scary thing is that all this evil has, for the most part, gone unnoticed as a whole and taken place in the past few weeks. With the 24/7 news and media pumping out the next big story we’ve lost perspective on the collective actions of the terrible few.

The Washington Post is now linking the 57 murders in the past month to the economy.

To top this all off the Lakers are in the playoffs, the Kings and Warriors are terrible, the Niners front office is a 3 ring circus, and my 401k is embarassing.  Outside of that things are looking rosy.
