As time goes by, more and more deranged people are acting out in violent episodes with a target pointed directly at President Obama's back as they try to murder innocent people. The latest episode happened in Calrsbad, California when a man opened fire on young children and was reportedly yelling “Death to Obama" when he went off.

One of the witnesses to Friday’s shooting, Stephanie Durkee, a campus monitor at the school for 17 years, said Tuesday O’Rourke was yelling when he came on to the playground and started shooting. He was armed with a .357 Magnum revolver. Durkee said he shouted: “Death to Obama. Kill all the little (expletive). Death to them.”

Durkee said when she asked him what he was doing, he replied, “This is a drill and these are blanks.”

Cain said investigators plan to re-interview Durkee and the U.S. Secret Service is looking into the account because of the reference to President Barack Obama.

Durkee was one of three staffers honored at Kelly Elementary on Monday, along with three construction workers and two neighbors who helped chase down the gunman.

If you missed the story originally because traditional news outlets are fairly quiet on these stories, here's what happened.

A man seemingly bent on violence and destruction stormed Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad Friday and fired into a crowd of children on the playground, striking two girls, before being chased and tackled by nearby construction workers.

Brendan L. O’Rourke, 41, believed to be a transient, was arrested on six counts of attempted murder and various weapons charges, Carlsbad police said.

A trail of blood led to a classroom, which held two second-graders who suffered bullet wounds to their right arms, police said. The girls, ages 6 and 7, were flown to Rady Children’s Hospital for treatment and were doing well, Carlsbad Police Chief Gary Morrison said.

“We are grateful to God only two children were hurt,” Carlsbad Mayor Bud Lewis said. “We know in this tragedy, it could have been far worse.”

Several witnesses saw the gunman clad in black, running on the school grounds shortly after noon carrying a gas can and shooting at random during recess.

And since the rise of racial hatred that has permeated FOX News and right-wing talk radio, it only follows that more and more lone wolves will being popping up. If you think race had no role in this incident you'd be wrong.

The Oceanside man accused of shooting two children with a .357 Magnum revolver Friday afternoon at a Carlsbad elementary school was described by neighbors Saturday as an angry loner who would scream racial insults and obscenities at all hours of the night from inside his small second-floor apartment.

More information is coming out like this

Carlsbad police said the walls of O'Rourke's apartment in Oceanside had been painted with the words "destroy" and "Christian," and other writing indicated he was angry with the insurance companies AIG and State Farm.

I wonder if he had his TV on when he was yelling racial insults and obscenities inside his apartment. O'Rourke has a history of being unstable, but as we've been seeing over and over again, President Obama seems to be one of the stressers that drives nuts like this 'Over The Cliff," with the help of his little friends. Now these deranged people are targeting children as well. Have you noticed much MSM airtime on this story?
