Last week, Jeffrey Johnson, wearing a business suit, opened fire at the Empire State Building, killing his former boss, Steve Ercolino, for relieving him of his job. Police opened fire and it result in nine civilians being shot as well, as they killed Johnson.

Several weeks ago, gunman James Holmes, also facing unemployment and being kicked out of university, opened fire in a packed movie theatre, during a midnight showing of the film "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises." A few weeks ago, Wade Michael Page, a deranged gunman with poor job prospects, opened fire at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin killing several people.
