WTF?! (Again)

I heard that some wacko shot up a town hall meeting in Kirkwood, Missouri, killing five people, including two cops, before being shot and killed himself. Fox News showed a picture of him, a friendly-looking black guy with a toothy grin, which apparently belied his explosive nature.

But the WTF? moment came immediately afterward, when the man's mother said on camera, "It was an act of God, like a tornado," saying that the town had pushed him too far by giving him tickets. "Act of God"?!?! WTF?! Who do you think you're kidding, lady? It was a violent act by your son, who was obviously a disturbed individual, not some sort of natural catastrophe! Why the hell can't some people properly lay the blame when someone commits violent acts like this? "Act of God!" Get outta here!
