Mass. Murder
March 24th, 2007Hail and praise to Massachusetts, a state that has tried everything to eradicate private firearm ownership, allegedly to contain violence. They have, if nothing else, demonstrated what criminologists refer to as “substitution of means.”
The news brings a tale of one Mass Resident, Mark Benoit, who murdered his wife and daughter. Early rumors claim that old Mark failed to take his Prozac on schedule. Take two lives and call the cops in the morning.
Like suicidals, violent people are not detoured by the availability of mayhem implements. Death will find a way. Mark was quite able to plunge a blade into his wife and then strangle his nine year old child. A sharp shiv and a strong grip was plenty good enough for this middle aged man.
When Chuck Schumer or some equally deranged person complains about guns being a cause of violence, feel free to laugh in their faces. Violence is a completely human affliction and humans will kill even their own offspring without a firearm if so moved.
