London, England (CNN) -- At least five people have been killed and dozens injured after a taxi driver went on a shooting spree through three small towns in the English country of Cumbria Wednesday.
Police said at least 25 people were injured in the attack which started at 10:35 a.m. (5.35 a.m. ET) in Whitehaven, a quaint Georgian town which was once the center of the UK's rum trade.
After a large scale search, Cumbria police found the body of the suspected gunman, 52-year-old Derrick Bird, in a wooded area of Boot, a village in the Lake District, a popular tourist area. |
Crazies are all over.

I think its meant to be spelled taxi driver's. So that would be just the one.
I just read this on the BBC website. I can't believe it happened, and in Cumbria of all places. Shocking. |

Thank God for gun control.
This could have been worse had there not been any laws to control guns. |

Interestingly enough this kind of stuff used to be peculiar to Indonesia and maybe a few other SE Asian places. In Indonesian It's called Amok. For some reason some natives every once in a while would go crazy and start stabbing people with Krisses. They called it Amok, which i guess is where the word comes from. Also In Bali you cannot do anything that disturbs the Karma present in Balinese society. Balinese become particularly brutal when thier Karma, the peace they live in is disturbed. Look at how they massacred the communists in Bali after the failed PKI insurection upwards of 500,000 balinese, in fact entire villages where the PKI individuals where present.
Given the disaster, I almost think they should not allow firearms of any type without the firing pin pulled in the hands of anyone. It would present a problem though because it leaves the population of Britian without any defense at all against say other countries or whatever. Taking firearms from people is a difficult call for the most part. |
