Summertime, and the living is easy?

It's hard to build neighborhood communities in America anymore when the wealthy value low-paid non-citizen labor, not communities, because they don't live alongside their workers anymore.  

And drinking and guns?  Don't mix. 

I think it's going to be a long summer of short tempers in this country, if the Hate keeps growing, especially from the people who should have the most reason to be happy, and giving it away about now.  

If we can't make life easier for others, you'll just see more people killing time drinking and shooting the ground up, I fear...

The family in Texas had lived on Walter Drive for about two years.

Ten people, all family members, were in the home during the shooting. Five survived, including three children.  

Police released the names of the victims: Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25; Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21; Julisa Molina Rivera, 31; Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18; and Daniel Enrique Laso, 8.

Their neighbor, Francisco Oropeza, 38, was charged with five counts of murder, San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told The Washington Post.

Vianey Balderas, who lives across the street from the family, said she first heard gunshots that night when a few people were outside. About 20 minutes later, Balderas heard about five more gunshots, then another 10, she told The Post.

“When I heard those gunshots, I didn’t think anything of it because in this neighborhood everyone has guns. Every weekend you hear gunshots,” she said in an interview in Spanish.

“People shoot in their backyards, after they drink alcohol, men take out guns at house parties and shoot the ground.”

All of the victims were from Honduras, Capers said.

The suspect, Francisco Oropeza, is a Mexican national who is believed to have fled the county, Capers said. 

In a tweet in Spanish, Honduran Foreign Minister Enrique Reina demanded that authorities apply “the full weight of the law” against the killer and expressed condolences for the family’s relatives.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) had not publicly responded to the news of the shooting by late Saturday afternoon.

Ten people in this self-described American family are victims on a growing list; the survivors are victims too.
