ANAHEIM, Calif. -- A gunman opened fire early today at a Denny's restaurant, killing one man and seriously wounding another, police said. It was the third fatal shooting at the restaurant chain in Southern California this week.

The 2:45 a.m. shooting happened after a fight between two large groups inside the restaurant, said Sgt. Rick Martinez of the Anaheim Police Department.

The shooting was the third in a Southern California Denny's in three days. In Pismo Beach on Wednesday, a transient with two guns walked into the restaurant at lunchtime, fatally shot two men and wounded a married couple before committing suicide.

And in Ontario, a 37-year-old man was fatally shot in a Denny's parking lot Thursday after a fight. The gunman was still being sought.

That was almost too easy.

8. Denny's has become a place where street people hang out all night.

A lot of homeless young people hang out there all night long because they can stay warm and drink coffee for just a few dollars.

And sadly, when you have people on the fringes of survival, you have the potential for violence.

9. didn't violence increase the LAST time a bush was in the WH?

Seems to be a pattern.

I recall drive by shooting decreased in Tucson after Clinton had been in office for a bit.

[benburch]

12. Violence increased the whole time from RR taking office to WJC.

Started down again about the third year of Clinton's term.

[havocmom]

14. Y3 of Clinton you say? Isn't that about when the nation felt hope again?

and the economy started perking up?

Do you ::gasp:: think there might be a connection?

10. Is Rush still hanging out at Denny's parking lots trying to score

some oxycontin? If only...

11. I honestly think people are getting to the "breaking point." Someone

wrote an excellent post about how someone close to them was a police officer, and the amount of violence that was occurring was staggering.. Things that normally wouldn't have led to anything more than a shouting match are now causing shootings.. People of all stripes are under more pressure, and too much pressure rarely leads to anything good..

Kind of off topic, but I would have sworn that someone told me that under the Bush and reagan years when the economy was bad theft and violence went through the roof.. If that is really the case it makes sense..

13. Sheesh! I live in Ontario.

Unfortunately "Going Denny's" isn't as good a catch phrase as "Going Postal".
One wonders if it's something in the low grade dog food they serve.

15. EEK.. My friend and I go to Denny's every week

after bowling.. I guess we'll have to find a new place...how creepy..

[Pithy Cherub]

18. We Cali residents better get our kevlar out of the cleaners...

Please don't let Darth Cheney become the new Denny's spokesmodel.

16. I guess MK Ultra is still up and running...

Terror by any means, designed to keep the citizenry fearful, confused, off balance and ultimately de-sensitized to mindless violence.

CIA, Mind Control and MK Ultra

17. You think all these shootings have ties to Rush Limburger's drug dealings?

[lonestarnot]

19. Dat Denny's new combat zone!

[gatorboy]

21. So when do we start the bombing?

Smoke those Denny's insurgents out!
