Anuhy, I live pretty close as well and I have family that has a cottage not to far from there and family that lives about 10 miles away. Scary stuff.
I'm a Libra, your right. We aren't safe anywhere, in a big town or little town.

I live about 100 miles away and honestly it is really sad and gives you a wake up call, kind of eerie but I don't think it was preventable or predictable. It's just a tragic thing that happened, now 7 young people had their lives cut short because of some hormonal nonsense. It's all over the news here, every day is is mentioned at least once during each broadcast and there are several articles in our newspaper about it.
But as a personal side that may sound selfish, a friend of mine needed to call the Crandon police department this week and was basically blown off and it was not like her issue was not serious, so I think the situation could be handled better. I'm pretty clueless as to how law enforcement works but since the shooter is dead what is really left for the police department to do that is so time sensitive that they put any other criminal behavior aside.

ANYONE is capable of mass murder, given the right mental imbalances allowed to go untreated. My guess is the victims weren't no angels, either. Quite likely a group who to some degree resent police officers--and have adopted lifestyles of such people.
It's quite likely this group of friends gathered at this apartment to party safely, alcohol likely was involved by those inside the home; the officer quite likely too, was drunk, too.
The break-up between the officer and his ex-girlfriend evidently ugly, sour and bitter. There were a lot of issues and social pressures the young officer had not dealt with well that bottled up within his mind.
Add the nasty break-up and a group of heckling alcohol (and perhaps "high" ) anti-police people....and you got a runaway freight train of rage and anger that went violently tragic.

The major media have absolutely buried the story of this mass murder but for two days have been making a big deal out of a kid with an "arsenal" who did nothing, but somebody was afraid of what he might do.
NBC is showing 30 year old footage of a "typical arsenal" that was actually a collection of a law enforcement agency. Same one they showed for the Branch Davidians.

The Crandon Massacre not only shows that peace officers are just as likely to be mass murderers as anybody else, it shows that the media is willing to ignore mass murder when it doesn't support their slanted views.

NBC news gave it about 5 seconds in the middle of their news tonight. Any other mass murder would have been their lead for at least a week.

I think it's very sad what happened and I really feel for those people who are involved with this tragedy. I happen to live about 225 miles from where this happened so it hit pretty close to home for me.

Wow it just goes to show you that you aren't really all that safe anymore pretty much anywhere anymore.
