    Happyland

    No, you're not wrong, Anonymous, that this isn't the first time a murder spree was instigated by a domestic violence incident.

    In 1990, 87 people were killed in a fire at the Happyland Social Club, started by a jealous boyfriend who had just been dissed.

    Gun proponents point to this as an example of when a person could kill a large number of people without guns. I am of two minds on this issue, as I am a survivor of stalking and I have a gun myself.
