The typical mass murderer is extraordinarily ordinary.

To have him do something so special, so out of the ordinary, was breathtaking. I could see he had taken a lot of time to get it from heart and head to paper. There's nothing that can take that away. He went another level for me.

It's a mass extinction in the making.

It was one of the more unusual injuries, ... but it's one of those things and a bit typical of the run Roy has been having recently.

This tendency to look year by year is extremely myopic. There is a certain degree of variability . . . whether the bullet hit the arm or the heart; whether the victim reached the ER in time. It makes it very difficult to interpret the changes.

It takes more than just police. It takes lots of community resources. Hopefully the shootings will be a wake-up call.
