The wingnuts in Arizona seem to be having a pretty bad week. I just heard about this on the radio while driving my car so I thought I'd write up a short first diary about it.
Raw Story
The Las Vegas Review-Journal
Apparently on Wednesday of this week, former Guns & Ammo magazine editor Richard Erick Venola (53) and his friend, Patrick O'Neill (39) had some type of argument and Mr. Venola responded with lethal force. According to Trisha Carver, an agency spokeswoman for the Mohave County Sheriff's Department, Mr. Venola shot his friend in the chest with a "high Caliber" rifle. He then apparently went over to his neighbors house and told them that he killed Mr. O'Neill.
Mr. Venola appeared to be intoxicated when interview by law enforcement. He was released on $100.000 bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 11th in Kingman Arizona.
It makes me wonder what is happening to these people. First we had Peter Keller who killed his wife and daughter before retreating to his underground bunker before offing himself.
Next, we had J.T. Ready, a self avowed Neo-Nazi who gunned down his girlfriend, her daughter, her grand daughter, and the daughter's boyfriend.
Now another senseless murder. Is there something that is making these people freak out?
Could it be the full moon?
