Neighbours. Noisy lawnmowers, strimmers, cars parked in our space, grotty kids on skateboards bonking my van, cats crapping in the garden. Just as well they don't sell guns at Sainsbury's or i'd do a few of em.
PS I even had one one them wandering down my garden in his underpants a couple of years back.bloggoth

What is interesting is where did he get the rifle with scope (was he part of a gun club and don't you have to have an annual psycho analysis if you keep guns in the home). The other thing to ponder is what drives a person to think:- "damn I just killed my colleague / friend during an argument, I'm going to kill myself because I don't want to do time but between now and then I'll go around and take as many random people out as possible !" - that is so sick, just goes to show what a repressed society we are habouring nutters that given the right circumstances commit acts on par with Hitler and the Nazis in the space of a few hours - a sad sign of the times perhaps in our stress laiden society ?Comment

Does anyone know "Why" yet?
Something triggered this and I'd be surprised if the rest of the village didn't have a "guilty little secret"...Comment

That bit of the story got dropped from the bulletins quite rapidly once he was loose in the countryside, presumably because it could have prejudiced a trial, and it hasn't been re-introduced to the story because (again, presumably) it might prejudice the outcome of the inquiry that will have to be held.
EDIT: Ah, now the BBC are suggesting a family row as well as cabbie stuff. Apparently he shot his brother and the family solicitor before he really got startedLast edited by NickFitz; 3 June 2010, 05:17.Comment

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostA very early contender was that a couple of other cabbies were winding him up on Tuesday night over him not having a girlfriend, whilst boasting of their own prowess in that department. Apparently he got really angry with them and stormed off, which was most unlike him - although nowhere near as unlike him as coming back the next day and killing loads of people
