October 22, 2012(AP). In Brookfield, Wisconsin Sunday morning, a gunman shot and killed three women and injured others in a one-man raid on a salon and spa. The gunman fled, but was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police theorized that the incident was the result of a marital dispute.

 A spokesman for the National Rifle Association aggressively defended the gunman’s action as “an unexceptionable exercise of his second amendment rights as declared by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the NRA’s War on Peace, as in any war, “collateral damage is the unfortunate but inevitable result of combat. Guns don’t kill people, bullets kill people.”

In Kountze, Texas, the superintendant of schools ordered public high school cheerleaders to stop holding up banners with biblical verses at football games. He said it violated a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the first amendment, angering the townspeople. The First Baptist Church answered on its marquee. “We must obey God rather than men.”

Sheki Mbeki of the American Civil Ironies Union (ACIU) said, “The Supreme Court is like fresh fruit. You love it when it agrees with you and hate it when it gives you diarrhea.”
