Santa Killings

Like I've posted earler, people get upset every Halloween and think it's a terrible holiday that causes death.

Yesterday in Los Angeles, a man dressed as Santa went to a Christmas Party (of people he knew, maybe an estranged wife) shot and killed several people, burnt the house down, then fled and killed himself.

A crazy tragedy in an armed society, but I'm sure no one will say that this makes Christmas a dangerous holiday. I bring it up just to highlight what I feel is the manipulation of the Louisiana shooting (over 10 years ago.) Though I think if a Japanese person, let's say the lover of the estranged killer's wife, were a victim at the Christmas party, it would probably change the perception of the event here.

Today NYC is 7 degrees C, same as Tokyo. No snow on the ground in either place.
Paris is zero, Madrid -4c (granted, it's 5am there), Berlin -2c and London is 4.
