Okay folks, I'm off to a little bit of a late posting start today, and have
LOTS of news lined up, plus a real-time chat session for members of my Mailing
lIst coming up later today, so lets get right to "work".
Yesterday I posted the BREAKING news that FOUR adults had been massacred with
a hunting rifle inside of a rural house in Missouri. Two men and two women were
so harvested. THere were FIVE OTHER people, all CHILDREN, inside of the house
during the massacre, but our rampager chose to specifically SPARE all of their
lives. Police were CONVINCED that the ESTRANGED hubby of one of the slaughtered
gals, had carried out this massacre, and he was NOWHERE to be found. That was
basically ALL the info available yesterday. pOlice had launched a massive
manhunt for this estranged hubby, but NO names were being released.
In the MAJOR updates below we get many new details, some of which are quite
tragic. Our new mass murderer is identified as 36 year old Robert leonard, and
we get CONFIRMATION that he was estranged from his wife, they were still
married, but she was fornicating with another man. I would ASSUME the man was
ALSO in the house, and also shot dead by Robert, one of his four harvestees.
Robert was in his car, when police spotted him. He had in fact CALLED UP
police on his mobile phone, threatening suicide. A police HELICOPTER, as well
as police cars, were converging on Robert when he chose to stop his car, and
shot HIMSELF to death, using a high-powered hunting rifle, most likely the SAME
weapon he used to commit his massacre. How TRAGIC that Robert chose to
exterminate himself, at the end of his rampage. He DID have about 24 hours or
so of life AFTER his massacre, which occured FRIDAY evening, and I assume he
listened to the radio while in his car yesterday, and LEARNED, received
confirmation from news reports, that he had indeed succeeded in killing ALL
FOUR of his chosen targets.
Yup, we get confirmation that Robert DID kill his wife's new lover. We see
here how PERVERSE and TOXIC the insane ritual of marriage is, as well as the
entire notion that any human has any sort of a "normal" or natural instinct or
ability to LIMIT his sexual partners to ONE, after he gets 'Married'. It is
absolutely RIDICULOUS, how the toxic marriage vows seek to VICIOUSLY coerce &
TERRORIZE the married couple into remaining sexually BOUND to each other, for
as LONG as they both shall live, under DIRECT order and THREAT from GOD, as
stated in the "traditional" marriage vows.
Well, congratulations, your mentally DERANGED social structure has caused
FIVE more human lives to be sacrificed. Garbage in, garbage out, folks. You
CANNOT be INSANE as a society, and expect ANYTHING less than UTTERLY deranged
behavioral choices, to be committed by your tortured, brainwashed, mentally ill
child-creations. The GREAT tragedy lies in the fact that Robert was WILLING to
MURDR HIMSELF at the end, all in the name of SANCTIFIED a RIDICULOUS, TOXIC,
and deranged myth regarding how couples who have engaged in the deranged ritual
of marriage, are "supposed to act and behave".
Rest In Peace, Robert.
Take care, JOE

4 Shot to Death in Rural Mo. Home
TROY, Mo. (AP) - A man suspected of fatally shooting four people following an
apparent domestic dispute at a rural eastern Missouri home took his own life
Saturday night in a grocery store parking lot.
Robert Leonard, 36, shot himself once in the chest with a high-powered rifle
after he apparently spotted a highway patrol helicopter hovering overhead,
authorities said.
Officers were in the process of surrounding Leonard's vehicle when the shot was
fired, said Wentzville Police Chief Robert Noonan.
The names of the four victims were not released. Five young children inside the
house, including three of the suspect's, were unharmed.
The shooting happened at about 10:45 p.m. Friday in a heavily wooded area just
outside of Cuivre River State Park, about 60 miles north of St. Louis.
Lincoln County Sheriff Jim Johnson said a man walked in with a hunting rifle
and began arguing with his wife. The couple was not divorced, but she
apparently was with another man, Johnson said.
The gunman shot his wife, the man and another couple at the house, Johnson
said.
The five children, all 9 or younger, spent the night with counselors from the
Missouri Division of Social Services. They were with relatives Saturday.
