Adolf Hitler’s birthday, and the anniversary of the Columbine shootings. It’s also known as national smoke marijuana day.
Graffiti on a wall of Vista Murrieta High School yesterday displayed a threat that promised everyone would die on 4-20 (see story).
Jeffery Thomas Carney, an allegedly drug addicted 28 year old, is the subject of a manhunt by Sutter County Sheriff Department because he told his pastor that he was going to carry out a shooting that it would “make the incident at Virginia Tech look mild by comparison.” The manhunt continues even now and schools in the area are on lock down in expectation (see story).
So, tomorrow promises a potentially interesting news day.
I think it’s probable that we’re going to see some act of violence tomorrow solely predicated on the fact that it’s 4-20 and the anniversary of Columbine. Cho’s outburst may have emboldened others to copy his psychotic episode. This could very well mean more ruthless murders. In the case of Jeffery Thomas Carney the goal in mind appears to be an outdoing of Cho’s carnage. This is when preemptive action comes in. They need to get this guy before he gets anywhere near taking the lives of innocent people.
I know it’s a terrible prediction to say that something tragic will likely happen tomorrow, but I have a sick feeling in my gut that I’m right. Pray to God that I’m not.
