Jesus. Unbelievable that an inconvenience (somewhat of a hardship- after what has happened to the people in the Gulf Coast, I don't feel any sympathy for this guy's cause) could drive someone to perform such a violent act against himself. Very sad. Such skewed thinking. Of all the hardships that guy has probably faced in his life, this is what he came to. How horrible for his family. That union shoul be ashamed of itself for inciting such violence.
