US Warzone: Three Dead in Iowa Carnage

Sunday, August 10, 2025

The suspect in a double homicide and home explosion in Glenwood, IA, died after extensive burn injuries. Dennis Burnell (71) is accused of murdering Brandon Oman (38) and his wife Stevie Oman (35). This lunatic shot the married couple in their home which he then set fire to, causing an explosion. The double-homicide may have stemmed from personal disputes between the Omans and Burnell. This maniac with a firearm towards the end of his life killed two young people just beginning their lives. Iowa firearms licenses in 2021: 54,178; 43.6% of Iowans have guns in their homes.

Every eleven minutes an assailant uses a firearm to murder someone in the US. In an average year, 343 people die by guns in Iowa. By contrast, in 2022 the entire nation of Canada (~40 million people) suffered 344 gun-related homicides; the US lost 48,000 victims to gun-related deaths the same year. These are wartime casualty figures without a foreign invader. In Feb 2025, instead of taking steps to limit access to firearms, Dummkopf Trumpf signed an Executive Order loosening federal firearms regulations. Moreover, the NIMH reports that one in six Americans are suffering from some sort of mental illness. So, Americans should expect more firearm deaths in the future. Link: Canada Gun Deaths.

Wow, a 2nd Amendment loon's wet dream realized!
Small price to pay for willfully misinterpreting the Constitution, eh?

Good Morning Doc: You said it. And trolls on DR will argue there's no gun problem in the US. Uh-huh.

BTW: I'm enjoying Abraham Lincoln by James Dougherty (1946). I have a 1966 second printing. 'Honest Abe' was also an able boatsman on the Mississippi River like Samuel Clemens. When he passed the bar, Lincoln spent all day reading the newspapers in the tiny law office he shared with his partner. Challenged to a duel, Lincoln had the choice of weapons so he selected cavalry sabers. When the much shorter challenger arrived at the out-of-state location, he saw how tall Lincoln was and told his seconds to get him out of the jam (which they did): madison.illinoisgenweb.org

Morning..Lincoln for me remains one of history's truly intriguing characters. Politically astute, he knew there was a long game and he adhered to a moral compass. Imagine that!

Lincoln was an "uncommon commoner" in touch with the working man. He maintained his principles from the get-go. As a young riverman, he visited New Orleans and saw the slave auction which appalled him. His desire in the 1850s was to stop the spread of slavery in the new Western states. Lincoln wanted to let slavery die out in the South by the federal government buying their freedom eventually. BTW: In view of Capitol Hill was a slave auction house which reminded Congressman Lincoln of New Orleans.

This is the book I am enjoying: www.goodreads.com
