Even in Honolulu, Hawaii

Guns are bad news for women, even in Honolulu, Hawaii. The local ABC news reports on the tragedy.

Clayborne Conley, 43, apparently broke into the home rented by Kristine Cass, 46, and her 13-year-old daughter then apparently shot the two and their dog, then killed himself, police said.

The guy had several convictions under his belt and should have been a disqualified person. Perhaps he was.

Why is it almost always the man who does the killing in these murder-suicide incidents? It must be terrible to be the woman in a relationship with one of these abusing men, especially when he has access to the most efficient killing tool.

What's your opinion?

  1. It's not almost always the man. It's just that women most likely kill their children (usually by suffocation and drowning, and men more likely include their spouse.

    Access to a certian tool isn't required, but makes it more newsworthy.

  2. Impossible. The antis here have told us that Hawaii has some of the best gun control ever. I guess it must be part of the iron pipeline.

  3. Not only did he say Hawaii has the best gun control, but it also works too and is proof that gun control is effective! Maybe you were joking?

    Thank God those who are fighting against our freedom are so obviously stupid!

  4. Anon is wrong again. Actually, fathers are slightly more likely to kill their children than mothers. (Susan Hatters Friedman, M.D., Sarah McCue Horwitz, Ph.D., and Phillip J. Resnick, M.D. Child Murder by Mothers: A Critical Analysis of the Current State of Knowledge and a Research Agenda. Am J Psychiatry 162:1578-1587, September 2005) Study shows that in all child murders--30% are committed by the mother, 31% by the father.

    Of course, Anon is merely attempting to dodge the issue of why men are far more likely to use a gun as part of a murder-suicide act.

    The answer is pretty obvious; gunloons are predominantly male and insecure. As I've sagely noted, gunloons see the gun as an "equalizer" to make up for their lack of success and fulfillment. Such men are emotionally fragile, so it's of little surprise when, in a time of personal crisis, they use their gun to end their problems.

    The fact that Jadegold is still alive and healthy proves exactly how full of shit he is.

  6. Despite--and because of--Weerd's not-so-veiled death threat, I reiterate what I sagely noted previously.

    Gunloons are emotionally and socially arrested. The gun functions as a social and professional "equalizer"--of course, this exists only in their minds. They fantasize that they have the ability to be heroic, oppose tyranny, wipe out crime and eliminate evil-doers. But such derring-do is a chimera not unlike the small child who ties a towel around his neck and runs around pretending he's Superman.

    However, real life very often intervenes. This means a gunloon will often have to try to cope with personal crises and will be both socially and professionally unprepared.

  7. Just the opposite, Jade, You HAVEN'T received death threats, and you can count me among those who have no interest in bothering with your miserable existence. If you want to be put down, man up and do it yourself!

    Not only that but nobody has acted on anything, and you've been perfectly safe.


    So yep yer an idiot, and a liar, and dishonest as you attempt to twist words and misrepresent reality.

  8. Weerd, thanks for proving my point.

    You issue a death threat, then you can't scuttle away from it fast enough. As I've sagely noted, gunloons live in a fantasy world where they believe their guns have earned them respect. When you point out their bluster and threats aren't respect--they'll usually slink away.

    It's always important to remember gunloons like to threaten and talk big but there's just not a whole lot of there there.

  9. Maybe someday you'll learn to read.

    Plus even your foolish spin doesn't actually support your own statement. If "Gunloons" are so violent and insecure, and they are so willing and brazen to break laws as you constantly say, why isn't your house riddled with bullet holes?

    Especially given your affinity to issue threats and to cyber stalk not only bloggers but their families.

    They just don't compute. Either we're dangerous violent people or we aren't.

  10. Or of course it also appears that you're implying that "Gunloons" are all talk and little action (which COULD explain why you put on your pants and go to work like the next guy) then why do you even care?

    I mean look at Laci, he's issued threats to me on several occasions in comments and on his blog. I know he's just battling with his mental demons, so I pay him little mind (despite the fact that he's likely armed), but somehow you seem extremely excited to twist a comment I made into a death threat that is apparent to only yourself.

    Which is it?

  11. Weerd: You make a death threat, I call you on it--and now you're running away from it as fast as you can.

    Why? Are you that insecure?

    Is it that none of your fellow gunloons are cheering you on? Do you require their affirmation?

  12. Question Dodge, Jade. What are you afraid of?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Weerd: To tell the truth, I'm not afraid of much. That's why when you toss out a death threat--I don't run and hide.

    So, why do you want to shoot up my house?

  14. "Despite--and because of--Weerd's not-so-veiled death threat, I reiterate what I sagely noted previously."

    You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

    As for the "death threat" nonsense, unless you are saying Weer'd Beard has threatened you elsewhere and elsewhen, you have really gone over the tipping point to insanity if you think he did so here.

    His words:
    "The fact that Jadegold is still alive and healthy proves exactly how full of shit he is."

    ...in response to your words:
    "Such men are emotionally fragile, so it's of little surprise when, in a time of personal crisis, they use their gun to end their problems."

    ...suggesting that you would have offed yourself by now with a gun if your statement had any truth to it, since you are an emotionally fragile man.


    I've noted several time that reading comprehension isn't your strongest trait. This confirms it. I'm surprised you got through grade school.

  15. "I don't run and hide."

    heh that's EXACTLY what you're doing.

    Coward!

  16. Whether or not Weerd elects to act on his death threats or not is immaterial. People, like Weerd, who are compelled to issue such threats are motivated to do so by two possible reasons. One, they hope the threat will cause someone to run away or to alter their behavior. Two, they fully intend to carry out the threat--in this case, demonstrating some form of mental disturbance.

    Either possibility isn't particularly flattering to Weerd.

    It appears even your Blog-master thinks you're a fool!

  18. Also note that Jade is avoiding the topic at hand and instead choosing one that is only relevant to him that is dubious to anybody with an elementary education.

    So he has indeed altered his behavior out of fear. Of course he doesn't believe in a threat of violence because he made that up from whole cloth (and is dumb enough to think anybody will fall for the ruse) but he IS afraid of pointing out the massive contradictions he's made in just this thread alone....not to mention in other threads and other sites.

    Mark his words, his pants are FULL and smellin' quite ripe!

  19. Weerd persists in demonstrating what gunloonery is all about.

    On the intertubes, a gunloon can't brandish his weapon in an attempt to harrass or intimidate or threaten. All he can really do is type out his threats ala Weerd's death threats.

    This is largely why carry laws are so vital to gunloons. It has nothing to do with protection or crime. It has everything to do with attempting to exercise their 'authority' over others.

  20. round and round he goes, where he stops is likely under his bed with his blankie in hand! ; ]

  21. You know the clearest death threats I see are the ones in Weer'd's fantasy life, the reasons he carries a gun everywhere he goes. And as far as my thinking Jadegold is a fool, far from it Weer'd. Where did that idea even come from?

    Jadegold's ideas about gun enthusiasts being "predominantly male and insecure," and "emotionally and socially arrested," are accurate for the most part, in my opinion. He has a more in-yer-face style than I do in expressing these ideas, but essentially he and I are on the same page with this.

  22. Jadegold, obviously you dislike Weer'd. If you think it is a death threat, then why don't you report it to the authorities? That's right, because even you know that you're full of shit. Again.
