Must Be a Glenn Beck Fan

Since we've now entered the age of ascribing blame for every multiple homicide to specific individuals, we may as well note this one. Tragic event, no question, so obviously it's the fault of 1) Glenn Beck, 2) Evil right-wingers, 3) Rush Limbaugh, 4) guns, or all of the above.

A father apparently shot to death five of his children, ages 7 to 16, at their mobile home in Pierce County and then killed himself near a casino miles away, police said Saturday.

The dead children were identified as four girls and a 7-year-old boy.

Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff, called it a domestic violence situation and a murder-suicide.

"We believe they all died of gunshot wounds," Troyer said.

Auburn police found the father, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his car near the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn, about 30 miles south of Seattle. Pierce County deputies checked the mobile home, which is about 20 miles southeast of the casino, and found four of the children dead in their beds and the fifth in the bathroom.

There are a lot of sick human beings on the planet.

Me, I'm not blaming anyone other than this monster. Although since he did live in a mobile home we must assume he's a Democrat and a big fan of a certain website. But we won't leap to any conclusions.
