Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, June 04, 2025

Patrick Waite (77) calmly called police moments after he allegedly shot his wife, mother-in-law, and two stepsons " killing three of them " to report the horrific crime. Waite is accused of methodically shooting his wife Alma (61) and her family, going from room to room to blast each victim in the Haubstadt Indiana home they shared. He is facing several murder charges. After he opened fire on all four victims, Waite called 911 to explain what he had done, where he would be when officers arrived, and where investigators could find the .45-caliber Smith & Wesson he used. "I shot them all. I'm certainly not proud of that fact," he said in a chilling but casual confession. The surviving stepson remains sedated in critical condition. Map of Indiana

Indiana firearm licenses in 2021: 157,546. 44.8% of adults have at least one firearm at home. In an average year, 1,111 people die and 1,556 are wounded by guns in Indiana. Nationally, every eleven minutes someone is killed by a firearm, like a warzone without a foreign invasion. Mental illness rates have increased in recent decades, with the highest rates recorded for women, younger adults, and people in the Western and Midwestern US. Add increasing poverty and loosened firearm regulations by the Trumpf junta to this trend, and Americans will see a rise in Murder-Death-Kill incidents. Source: Link. A criminal complaint is just an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

If guns don't kill people and only mentally ill people kill people, why do you keep letting mentally ill people buy guns?

Three hots and a cot for him. And health care.

Wife, mother-in-law, and two stepsons.

Thanks, Marriage!

And this lunatic used his .45 hand-cannon to obliterate a water snake on his property before executing his family: birdwatchinghq.com

Republican christo-fascists want murders like this to be legal. He was just putting his uppity divorce seeking wife in her rightful place after all.

New Order - Touched by the Hand of God

I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face, I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it, but I never realized that we were through
And I'm now down here all alone with every feeling that I own
You can't take that away
And with every breath we take and the illusions we create will come to you someday

And I was touched, uh, by the hand of God, ooh
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched (Touched)
By the hand of God
I never knew it, ooh
But of cours I was

Hoped to do the things in this world that I wanted to
Bcause everything I own, it belongs to you
And I've never looked at you in a sexual way in my life before
But then I've never woken up like this so desperately before

And I was touched, oh, by the hand of God
Never knew it
Of course I was
Touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was

Touched by the hand of God
I never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched by the hand of God
I never knew it
But of course I was, ooh

Mental illness is increasing along with poverty in the US while firearms are becoming more readily available. Right now, every eleven minutes someone in America is killed by a firearm. Soon we shall be able to write "every ten minutes." And then "every nine minutes."
