Never mind the supposedly anime-inspired axe murders. You can always count on the US to generate something worse.

Usually it's a postal worker or something like that but a sheriff's deputy?! Wow, my girlfriend broke up with me, I must go and kill her and her friends....?!

Geez, if you can't trust the police, who can you trust?

i wonder why there's so much violence in the US, i just read the statistics, its shocking.

I somehow get the feeling misinterpretation of the 2nd Amendment and kids with guns has something to do with it?

Humanity. Always guaranteed to find rock bottom. Then start blasting with mining explosives.

Having just watched the episode of TopGear (Series 9 - Episode 3) where they drive from Miami to New Orleans I'm surprised there aren't even more murders.

It's what happens when you have easy and quick access to guns in the heat of the moment. In Australia by the time you got the guns you would have calmed down or have opted to go stabbity-stab and killed maybe two people.
