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. |

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,-á There is however a catch...-á 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. |

Colorado has executed one person since 1977, and that was 15 years ago. The Skunkworks is recruiting. -áhttps://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1540711#post1540711 |

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.

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

well well well... from
Quote:'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. |

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. The Skunkworks is recruiting. -áhttps://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1540711#post1540711 |

10 bucks says that after this, it's going to be grope-downs and naked body scanners to go to the theater, and the industry is going to wonder why nobody goes to the movies.

What a surprise, our 'unbiased' 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. |

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. |

Looking back through history I cannot think of a single event where people went mad and killed lots of others. It cannot be a coincidence that the first world war happened not long after movies were invented. |

Ordinarily, I wouldn't consider the media to be a major influence.
But in this case:
He stated to the police he was the "Joker" and dyed his hair to resemble the character from the recent blockbuster. Yeah, he wasn't motivated by negative Hollywood images.
Well, they caught this one alive, so I'm sure we'll know a lot more about him before he's executed.

Millions of Americans own guns too.
Just watched the trailer for the Batman movie.
First impression? I can see how it would incite fringe Occupy Wall Street types to violence.

Quote:The gunman wore a bullet-proof vest, tactical body armour and gloves, and was carrying an AR-15 military-style, semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and two pistols, police said. The gunman, whom witnesses said had said nothing during the attack, threw two tear gas grenades then opened fire with a rifle.
