I'm always suspicious when the authorities identify the criminal by age and gender only, and then immediately claim no link to terrorism. Especially with this administration. These are the same people who tried to call the Ft Hood massacre "workplace violence."

We'll see, though.

It's always interesting to see how the story changes at the beginning. So far the shooter identification runs the gamut from Indian to an Iranian named Mohammaed Alam to a guy named James Holmes.

its hard to call something terrorism if its just a single nut job hell bent on killing some people with a rifle.

EVE is like swimming on a beach in shark infested waters,  There is however a catch...  The EVE Beach you also have to wonder which fellow swimmer will try and eat you before the sharks.

Well, it depends on their motivation. In this case? I doubt there was any political motivation behind killing a 6 year old though.

But the Ft Hood shooter? His business cards literally said Soldier of Allah. Definitely not a simple case of workplace violence that Eric Holder tried to bullshit people into believing.

The guy survived though so we should get some interesting news out of it. At the very least, we're going to see how differently America and Norway treat their mass shooters. This guy's going to get the death penalty assuming he isn't proven batshit insane. Which... I suppose could happen.

You know, the Chinese do it right... sentence, take the guy out back, shoot him with an AK, send the family a bill for the round, harvest organs.

Why are people bringing their kids to a movie in the middle of the night on a school night?

School night? What school is that?

Generally in US regular school sessions don't start until August, and then it is late August. Right now we got Summer Break.

'He looked so calm when he did it,' another witness said. 'It was like scary. He waited for both the bombs to explode before he did anything.


'Then, after both of them exploded, he began to shoot. He had no specific target. He just started letting loose.'




Another one of these cases.

And right before the push for the big UN gun ban treaty, with Bloomberg making his case for disarmement of all citizens before the bodies are cold.


It's going to be like old times for me. This was attempted in 2000 where Columbine was intended to be America's Port Arthur or Dunblane, that point where after that nobody could have guns any more, and so we formed the Tyranny Response Team to make it clear that we are not protecting gun rights because they are like toys or collectables, but to spare the lives of the poor bastards who would be sent to collect them.


Just in on Twitter feed:

Quote:
FBI confirms suspect's apartment is rigged with explosives in a "sophisticated" set-up. Five buildings evacuated. Discussing detonations.



Also reports of a second shooter...

funny, Columbine has the same elements.

I expect this suspect to get the same legal defense and assigned shrink as Loughner from AZ, and he'll disappear down the memory hole just like Loughner - mission acomplished.

Too bad for them that they still have to come and take them no matter how well their false flags work out.

Yes, we have them at our school. But you no have school in summer.

Because education isn't a priority for them.

And summer break.

Also, anyone bringing children to see this movie is an idiot. Just because he's a comic book character doesn't mean the movie is for kids. Childhood does NOT need a gritty reboot.

What a surprise, our 'unbiased' Lol media within hours - has already tried to tie the shooting to conservatives.

Apparently ABC found a website by a 'Jim Holmes' who attends Tea Party rallies.

Imagine their disappointment when that particular 'Jim Holmes' turned out to be in his 50's.

But, damn the facts - plant the seed in the public mind early, right?

Sounds like the actual shooter is your typical 20something loser/loner from California. Registered Democrat.

well, it took 'til post 3 in this thread for it to be politicized Roll

On the shooting itself, it's a shame the guy didn't just do us all a favor and just off himself while he was at it.
