“Gun Death” Blackout

The headline is interesting, but I only want to touch briefly on it.

Oklahoma ex-convict, accused in five deaths, said he blacked out during fight with girlfriend…“Five counts? What are you … talking about?” Durcho said, using profanity. “All I know is that me and … Summer were getting into it. … I blacked out.”

So he claims he woke up in a room filled with dead people, and he has no idea how that happened.

Prosecutors allege Durcho strangled Summer Rust, 25, because she threatened to call police on him and he had vowed he would never go back to prison.

They allege he strangled her three daughters, Kirsten Rust, 7, Autumn Rust, 7, and Evynn Garas, 3, and her son, Teagin Rust, 4, to eliminate them as witnesses. The victims’ bodies were found Jan. 12, 2009, in their El Reno apartment.

Durcho has spent time in prison for marijuana possession. At the time of the deaths, warrants were out for his arrest in a drunken-driving case and a methamphetamine case.

So he strangled them, so no “Gun Death” there. But also he seems to have lived a life of serious crime.

Anybody wanna say tools cause crime? Yeah. Maybe we need to lay off the tools, and look harder at the monsters who walk among us.
