I disagree. If he did it alone i would say workplace violence. But the wife being involved makes me think its something more. Why assume the wife is a victim for all we know she could be the brains behind this.

Or she was just as down for some rampaging.

I’m really mad about some of the nonsense I’m reading in the above piece and the comments.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to talk about, I think it’s unreasonable to talk about it like this. See mimaw’s reply, I think they nailed it.

I think the focus of this article should have been less “mourning the loss of the accidental pregnancy because of IUDs” and more “this is something that financially comfortable people of childbearing age are deliberately doing because they can’t pull the trigger on having kids.” It’s not really about the IUDs, it’s…

“It’s fine if you don’t want to have a baby, but are you suuuuuure you don’t want to have a baby? Maybe you should get pregnant and see!” is sort of what I was getting from this article.

There’s also something creepy about the subtle “accidental pregnancies may make some childfree-by-choicers someone embrace motherhood” message. Sure, it’s true for some, but overall, isn’t giving women as much control over what happens to their body as possible for the best?

Yeah I got a goldilocks vibe at the beginning, like “This birth control isn't effective enough, this birth control is TOO effective :("

This is reading really privilege-y to me. There are some who have the privilege of accidental pregnancies being okay, or even welcomed. If that’s you, then don’t get an IUD. No one is making women get IUDs if they don’t want them.

Can we please not feed into the dumb idea that wanting to engage in consensual BDSM is caused by mental illness/leads to mental illness? Plenty of rapists aren’t into BDSM. Being into BDSM does not, over time, turn someone into a rapist. Only rapists are responsible for their rapes, not any of the subcultures that…

Depends on which family member.

Calling the Tsarnaev brothers “lone wolves” is a total falsehood. Tamerlan Tsarnaev went to Chechnya where he lived with and was trained by jihadists, before returning to the USA and recruiting his brother. He was neither a lone wolf, nor wholly a domestic terrorist. He was trained overseas and returned to the USA to…

But here they are mourning not the dead but the identity of the shooters. This reminds me of Chattanooga, where the was more gnashing of teeth about "the backlash" to come than about the people killed.

Well, I certainly don’t approve of what they did but you know, Republicans are always saying they want immigrants to really embrace the American way of life.

Yesterday: It’s gotta be white conservative gun nut ammo sexual Christian types.

When Nidal shot up Ft. Hood, liberal media shouted down those who called it radical Islamic terrorism. They were insistent on the “workplace shooting” narrative, going so far as to concoct a medical history of the killer where he was oppressed and psychologically traumatized because of his ethnicity and religion. They…

The shooter in Colorado was “very Christian.” Conclusion? Religion is the root of much evil.

His father also said he was “very Muslim. He slept went to work, and prayed.” just saying.

Probably getting the same boner everyone on Gawker got when they thought it was crazy white christians.
