This is an article put out from Yahoo.com about a man in PA who shot and killed three people
over a property dispute. He shot and killed THREE people and injured
more at a municipal meeting in the county. He was upset that he lives in
a dilapidated and trash infested piece of property and he was in
arguments with the county over the clean-up. He said he was on social
security and couldn't afford the clean-up.
SO HE SHOT AND KILLED THREE PEOPLE!
But this isn't
what is upsetting and unbelievable to me. What's unbelievable is the
comments after the story. People are defending the man. They start off
by saying that they 'do not condone what he has done' but then they go
off on how this is the government's fault. They claim that if the
neighbors or government would have helped him more then this would not
have happened. "This man just needed a kind gesture." "He is on social
security and he has worked hard for it and to treat him like this is a
crime." SO HE SHOT AND KILLED THREE PEOPLE!
This is classic 'blaming the victim'. If you didn't want your car getting stolen you shouldn't have left it unlocked. If she didn't want to get raped she should have dressed more conservatively. If they didn't want to be shot dead they shouldn't have enforced these codes on this man.
One commenter actually stated that "I don't condone what the man did about shooting everyone but I DO UNDERSTAND his frustration."
I'm sorry. You understand murderous frustration?? I cannot understand frustration to such an extreme. Maybe it's because I'm young and haven't experienced enough in life that I do not fully understand this type of frustration. And I hope I never do.
