On the heels of the events in Michigan, another mass murder, this time in Wyoming. According to police, four people including minors were shot to death at a residence in a southeast Wyoming town. The suspect, a prize named Everett Conant, is in custody.

Years ago this might have raised gasps. Now it seems a weekly occurrence.

I totally agree regarding the fact that crimes of this nature have lost their power to shock. We seem to accept them as a matter of course. The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan spoke about "defining deviancy downward" - basically, allowing social and ethical standards to slip rather than to take an active stand and say these things are unacceptable. This is an extreme example of that, but an example nevertheless - that we no longer gasp at crimes of this nature.

A Wyoming man who killed his three young sons and brother and wounded his wife in a shooting rampage two years ago must serve five consecutive life sentences &#8212; four of them without possibility of parole...

Conant&#8217;s no-contest pleas in June followed several lengthy stays at the Wyoming State Hospital in Evanston that ultimately determined he was competent to stand trial.
