The Shotgun or the Egg..?

Men have killed for some pretty lowly reasons. This one has to top the list. Stanley Neace of Jackson, Kentucky, killed five people and then himself after apparently receiving eggs that were not made to his liking. Of course, it was not ONLY for the eggs that caused this catastrophe. Neace was in the process of being evicted from his trailer due to his ever increasing hostility towards his neighbors. This horrible event was simply caused by a single straw that finally broke the camel's back. Neace killed his wife, stepdaughter and three neighbors before finally shooting himself as police arrived.

Neace was known to "have a violent history". There are no other details going into past or what sort of violence that he was involved with. We do know that he was considered to be "'unpredictable.. [where] little things would set him off'". One of the biggest causes to blame would simply have to be stress. The man was facing eviction, paying child support, while receiving Social Security for an unknown disability, which would have to always be on his mind. Could this have been prevented? Maybe. It was unlikely that this man could have paid for the proper medication to help alleviate his issues. It's just unfortunate to see this happen to people that don't deserve it.
