200 Mass Murders in America Since 2006; WHAT?

I inadvertently found this site [link attached below] this evening and was sadly amazed at the number of mass murders, in America, which have occurred just in seven years.  Shockingly 50% of mass murders are committed by family members.  How can this be happening in America?  We're educated, civilized, religious [I am in no way saying one must be religious to respect humanity and life ~ thanks]; how could this be going on in our communities? 

The different genders, ages, reasons [if known] all of which I find bittersweet and heartbreaking.  The one odd aspect which caught my eye was that whether male or female the average age was so close; only a two year difference.  [?]  Could something genetically occur in some people during this age? 

It angers me that parents could murder their children under any circumstance.  This evil act I cannot tolerate; a parent murdering their child[ren] when I cannot even fathom summoning anger toward a child.  The act of murdering a child is so evil I do not even want to imagine why or how an adult could commit such an atrocity

**On the site~The map of the USA shows each mass murder location simply place your cursor over any red dot on the map to read a synopsis of the sad event which took innocent lives from their loved ones and friends too soon. For those who know what to do I'm sorry!!

The following is only my opinion; yes it is simplistic.  Sometimes simplistic works better than all the experts combined; just saying!  These types of tragedies, mass murders, must end.  There must be signs to look for [?] to keep entire families from being wiped out!  More emphasis, in our current economy, needs to be placed on dealing with termination in the workplace.  

Companies need to be responsible and understand they may have an employee on their hands that may 'snap' if they are released from their duties immediately.  All large companies have HR departments and these employees have training in psychology.  There need to be programs developed that allow for gradual release from a position when dealing with an employee they feel may have difficulty accepting departure.   This attitude just may save lives. 

I am aware this would not always work; example the former employee who returned FIVE years later!  What?  How could anyone be angry about losing a job for FIVE years?  I have no words.

So, sadly this would only deal with a very small tip of a huge crux of a tragically real matter.  Much more thought would have to be put into what [if anything] can be done to protect the innocent from living with 'ticking time bombs'.  

Once you become a parent of a murdered child, the innocents take up a great deal of your thoughts.

I remain Justin's momma

Mother of Slain College Student Brings Message to Police Headquarters

PALMER PARK, Md. – As rain poured from the sky, words of anger, sadness and determination poured from the mouth of Karen DeSha.

DeSha is the mother of Justin DeSha-Overcash, a 22-year-old University of Maryland senior shot to death in his home in January.

“We’re in a very elite club,” DeSha said. “Parents of murdered children.”

Since February, DeSha has been driving here once a month from her home in North Carolina to demonstrate in front of Prince George’s County Police headquarters in what she said is an attempt to get enough people angry about murder in the county to do something about it.

There have been 35 homicides in Prince George’s County this year.

“This is my mission,” DeSha said. “It’s my road, until something good comes from (what happened).”

She talked about the anger she felt when police emphasized that drugs were found in the College Park, Md., home her son shared with roommates.

She cried when she said she’d never see her son marry and have children of his own.

Pedestrians walking on a sidewalk across from her spot on Barlowe Road shouted thanks to DeSha throughout the morning, encouraging her to keep rallying.

Many cars barreling down the street slowed to a near-stop when they saw DeSha and her white cardboard signs, which were bleeding red paint in the morning downpour:

“COME TOGETHER STOP CRIME.”

Tony Jackson, 25, a Palmer Park resident, crossed the street to talk with DeSha around 11 a.m. Jamaican-born, Jackson said he had lived in Prince George’s County with his parents for seven years. He said he thought the neighborhood used to be more dangerous than it is now, but was glad to see DeSha trying to rally the area.

“This is good,” Jackson, a welder, said. “Once they see ya’ll doing this, it’s going to make the neighborhood come together.
“It’s time to stop the crime.”

Prince George’s County Police Capt. Michael Straughan, commander of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division, would not endorse or criticize DeSha’s rallies.

“I think it’s important that the homicide unit and detectives don’t lose focus on what they’re here to do, close the case,” Straughan said. “In this particular case, (what happened to DeSha’s son) was a tragedy. … I think in Ms. Desha’s case, homicide detectives worked long and hard. Our focus is one focus only.”

Police arrested Stephan Weaver, 22, of Bowie, Md., on March 26 and Deandre Ricardo Williams, 23, of Washington, D.C., on March 30, charging both with first-degree murder. Both men have confessed their involvement in the crime, police said.

Many drivers honked their car horns while they and passengers waved. Even if in mid-sentence, every honk gave DeSha pause.
“They all wave,” she said. “These people are tired.”

DeSha appeared tired, too. Dark circles rimmed her eyes. Her voice fluctuated and cracked unpredictably in conversation. Her tears became impossible to differentiate from the raindrops that also trickled down her face.

She admitted she was running on adrenaline these days.

She said she’s not standing on Barlowe Road holding her signs just to honor the memory of her fallen son. DeSha said she’s there because something good must come of her son’s death for her to cope with it.

“I don’t know what one person can do,” DeSha said. “But my son made a difference.”

YOU MURDERED AN INNOCENT MAN~Justin Vance DeSha-Overcash BORN 05/01/1988 @ 2:41 A. M. at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore County, MD~SENSELESSLY, HEINOUSLY AND COLD BLOODILY YOU MURDERED JUSTIN ON 01/11/2011, JUSTIN FOUGHT TO LIVE BUT WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD IN THE HOSPITAL ER AT 12:30 P. M.] You FATALLY harmed my SON; CRUELLY and COLD BLOODILY SHOT JUSTIN TWICE [AT POINT BLANK RANGE] IN HIS OWN HOME WHILE HE WAS MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS. YOU ARE JUST A HATEFUL, EVIL COWARD! What is wrong with you?

You have absolutely no love for yourself, no pride in yourself, obviously no one who believes in you as a person. A person who could achieve and accomplish something worth while in your life. You truly appear to be a 'lost cause'; ARE YOU REALLY A LOST CAUSE AT 26? I find it [extremely] difficult to comprehend that a human can be a lost cause at 26 unless in the case of pure laziness or CHOICE? OR they are filled TO THE BRIM with 'HATE' and EVIL.

Still curious about this [so called] mother and father the PG County attorney says appeared in court on your behalf April 2012; then in DC [September 18, 2012] your attorney claimed your parents abandoned you as an infant with your grandmother and you have never seen nor heard from either your entire life!????

Lord if I told as many lies as you have I'd fear [lightening BOLTS striking me DEAD!!]. SERIOUSLY, I do not mess around with the Lord or the TEN COMMANDMENTS!

YOU inspired me! Never [NEVER] mess with a loving mother cause you will inevitable

BITE OFF FAR MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW and/or SWALLOW! 

You were wearing an ankle monitor from DC which you received on a FELONY II HANDGUN CHARGE TWENTY TWO days [12/20/2010] before MALICIOUSLY MURDERING my JUSTIN. Did you and your attorney truly believe I would not find out about the 2009 Charge from PG County, MD that you were in Violation of your Parole ALSO ON THE DAY YOU COLD BLOODILY MURDERED MY BEAUTIFUL, GENTLE, COMPASSIONATE, BRILLIANT, LOVING SON AS HE PROTECTED HIS FRIENDS FROM YOUR GUN AND YOUR CRUEL DISINTEREST IN HUMAN LIVES??

Justin December 25, 1988                                                       Justin College Junior May 2010

   YOU MURDERED MY SON, MY GRANDCHILDREN AND MY GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN: YOU ROBBED ME OF MY SON AND MY FAMILY LEGACY!

I WANT MY SON BACK

DO YOU READ ME LOUDLY & CLEARLY?

I have spoken to people in Bowie, MD who formerly referred to you as 'friend'. When a person threatens Folks with death by telling them if they do not keep their mouths shut when they know YOU have MURDERED an innocent man [LIKE YOU DID] THEY STOP BEING A FRIEND! Who do you think you are threatening other peoples lives threatening to KILL people to their face; what is wrong with you? You need to read the Bible several times!

You are a real piece of work! As a matter of fact there are many who blame YOU for screwing up MANY PEOPLES LIVES, tearing apart families forever.

There are NO AWARDS for RUINING peoples lives. No accolades, no benefits, NO MONEY, NO BLUNT, no “QUICK FIX” for the plight YOU caused FOR YOURSELF.

YOU SHOULD HAVE TURNED AND WALKED AWAY NOW YOU MUST DEAL WITH ME THE GRIEVING AND BEREAVED MOMMA OF THE GREATEST MAN I HAVE EVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO KNOW~OR WILL EVER KNOW.

 

 JUSTIN VANCE DeSHA-OVERCASH

MURDERER Stop whining about your incarceration YOU MADE YOUR CHOICE!

Never heard Justin whine in 22 years. Never heard Justin complain, never heard him say he was sick, never had to ask if his homework was done [he never played until his work was done a rule he imposed upon himself], Justin never missed school. You will never know anyone like my son and I PITY you.

Why not actually get an education...WHILE YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS?

Justin always used his time wisely; although, unlike you HE LOVES TO LEARN!

The most wonderful man I know or will ever know.

MY SON, MY CONSTANT, My BEST FRIEND

Or you can continue to embarrass yourself! INTELLIGENT men and women FOUGHT with their WISDOM and LIVES so you could have a better life. BUT NO YOU chose to throw their HARD work and DEDICATION for your future into the TOILET, COMMIT MURDER and WHINE about YOUR SENTENCE. Well YOU owe apologies to:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mrs. Rosa Parks, Malcon X, Jesse Jackson, Mr. Bill Cosby, Nelson Mandela, Benjamin Todd Jealous, Mayor Cory Booker, Serena Williams, Melissa Harris-Perry.

JUSTIN VANCE DeSHA-OVERCASH

I dare say YOU could not even PUT A FOOT IN MY SON'S SHOES LET ALONE HAVE THE GUTS, TENACITY, BRAVERY AND COMPASSION TO WALK IN THEM FOR EVEN ONE MINUTE!

P. S. Allow me, Justin's momma, to share how little you know of me. You will not apologize for murdering Justin in cold blood. I do not like people who will not take the consequences for their actions.  [They annoy me].  You will not show remorse for murdering Justin in cold blood. I have my own opinion about people who kill and do not show remorse; read the Bible. I will continue to monitor your movements via the Maryland Judiciary Case Search on a daily basis and telephoning the Hagerstown prison on occasion.  I am very 'detailed' in my business dealings! I will be unwavering in my due diligence to honor my son's life [whom I love far more than my life], my Justin. 

You hold absolutely no sway over me BUT I WILL HEAR THE WORDS “I AM SO VERY SORRY JUSTIN'S MOMMA.” come out of your mouth no matter how long it takes.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

I love you Justin you will always be my Hero, love momma

The Baby Giraffe [Murius] MURDERED at the Copenhagen Zoo

******Email I sent to the Copenhagen MURDERING Zoo******

Below I have copied and pasted YOUR zoo's mission. Whomever composed this mission LIED as most MONEY mongers do. 

It has been my own opinion for decades ZOOS are heinous, cruel and murderous places WHO kidnap and hold wild animals CAPTIVE until their purpose is no longer USEFUL! I have always ABHORRED ZOO'S myself.

~THANKS COPENHAGEN ZOO YOU HAVE PROVED ME 180% CORRECT! 

You MURDERED A DEFENSELESS, HEALTHY, TWO YEAR OLD GIRAFFE AND FED IT TO OTHER ANIMALS. 


WHOMEVER IS RUNNING THE SHOW AT THE COPENHAGEN ZOO IS MENTALLY ILL AND NEEDS SERIOUS PSYCHIATRIC HELP!
 

 What has been done to this majestic Baby Giraffe, Murius, is more than despicable it truly is cold blooded murderer of a defenseless, HEALTHY, animal.  Why was Murius not NEUTERED OR SENT TO ANOTHER ZOO?  I know the answer that Cophenhagen Zoo will not give; DO YOU?  Think about it!!

Mission and vision

Zoo's mission
The Zoo must

Through modern display and characteristic animal species fit for the local conditions function as a cultural institution within the areas of

- Culture
- Information/education
- Science

Increase the interest in and the understanding of nature and its multitude through experiences based on relevant, activating and entertaining education and display.
Be actively involved in the international efforts to preserve animal species and habitats and thereby contribute to the conservation of the biodiversity.

All of these activities must be based on science.

"PRESERVE ANIMAL SPECIES"......LIARS! YOU have BLOOD on your HANDS!



Baby MURIUS ONLY HAS OUTRAGED HUMAN'S TO SPEAK OUT ON HIS BEHALF!  ITS TOO LATE FOR MURIUS BUT MAYBE NOT TOO LATE FOR THE NEXT ZOO ANIMAL MURDER! ANIMALS CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE DEAD!

Copenhagen Zoo:
YOU ARE ANIMAL MURDERERS
LIFE IS PRECIOUS! DO YOU THINK THIS POOR ANIMAL THOUGHT FOR A SECOND YOU WERE GOING TO MURDER IT AND FEED IT'S STILL WARM BODY TO OTHER ANIMALS?
YOU SUCCEEDED IN SICKENING ME [EVEN FURTHER] TOWARD HUMANS INVOLVED WITH ZOOS....
BAN ZOOS...BOYCOTT ZOOS...
HEY YOU STARTED IT...WE ANIMAL LOVERS WILL FINISH IT!
ANIMALS DO NOT BELONG IN ZOOS ~ ANIMALS DO NOT BELONG IN CAPTIVITY...WHERE CRAZY PEOPLE [who refer to themselves as scientists] can get ANYWHERE near them.

GOOD RIDDANCE ZOOS OF MURDER!
There is a special place in HELL for people like you!
