Words fail me...

Outrageous, Couldn't someone stop those attacks? I wish I would have been there. I would have been able to wrap that attacker in a sheet. I'd risk a few scratches. So sad. How do people regress to uncontrolable rage? I'm still a student. Could I ever understand? Who can? ~ Spark ~

just AWFUL!

Very sad. But, there must have been some way to prevent this. What could have been going on? Or does the man who did this just have uncontrollable raging angry behaviour? Why was he carrying a knife?

According to the local newspaper (Washington Post), this man was a 1-year employee of the nursing home who perfomed all of his assigned duties and had no known anger management problems on his record. Nobody would have seen it coming. Among those he attacked were 4 elderly residents, 1 employee and 2 visitors. He even punched at the police when they arrived on the scene. The only thing I can think of is there is probably some type of undiagnosed mental illness, because someone of sound mind wouldn't commit this heinous act.

OMG. Words fail me too. Cannot abide people who cannot control their temper. Bad enough when they have screaming temper tantrums but this is beyond belief. Those poor dears. To have this happen at their age.
