How can we continue to let this insanity go on? We have to do something, for the children.

A background check before purchasing this hammer could have prevented a deranged lunatic from acquiring the hammer. There should also be limits on the size of the hammer, nobody needs a hammer bigger than 5 ounces. How long was the handle? Would these hammer toting maniacs please explain to me why anyone needs an eight inch handle on a hammer. How many hammers did the attacker have? Has he been allowed to stockpile hammers? Did the hammer have a rubber grip? Rubber grips allow the user to hold onto the hammer tighter and swing it harder, thus creating more carnage. I'd also be willing to bet he bought this hammer at a tool show using the tool show loophole. Was the attacker wearing carpenter pants with a loop on the leg that allowed him to carry the hammer concealed until he drew it to attack?

All of these things must be dealt with for the children.

I hope the victim "do" press charges.

Fits, don't it? (Just goin' along to git along.)

Either my post this morning around 8:30am was never published, removed, or I really needed that second cup of coffee this morning.

I made a comment concerning the 36 year old victim picking up his "grandchildren" at the home of the 25 year old suspect and wondered if actually it should have said children. I just find it difficult to justify (not that it isn't possible) for a 36 year old to have grandchildren.

Fail to see where any of my comment would have been reason to pull and checked email and didn't see a nasty gram so maybe it was just a lack of coffee and thought I posted.

Could someone please explain why two of my post on this article has been removed. I asked a simple question, no personal attack, no harassment, no obscene language, comment relating to article, nothing inappropriate. No email explaining why the comments have been removed.......Sean, could someone please explain. Thank you.

**Edit**

Thanks for putting my second comment back up.
