When I see "Turn On CNN right Fugging Now", I'm brought back to the breaking news on 9/11/01. I love ya - you know I do - but when you post such a statement, please provide a little bit of context. It saves me (and anyone who hasn't been pegged on DU all day long) the trouble of the Googling.

I wanted you folks to see him/hear him and he wasn't on for long

Holy Fuck!!!!!!

and he's right

so thankfully we don't have to watch CNN..
but, my dear
that underscores that contect is everything.

has access to CNN. I didn't know who "Chris" was either. I do know who Elliott Rodgers is via various postings on DU.

Everyone will know who he is in a few days because his father's comments are going viral as I type

Just breaks your heart. And good for him for calling out the "craven politicians" and the NRA!

CNN about to play it again

apparently there was a press announcement on teevee or something. but it's not on the website.

I just stream

...will of course continue....

will probably have a regiment of prescribed psych drugs , will have many people who knew him say
there was something off ,It would be nice for a change to hear what his treating physician
has to say. Blaming the NRA will prove not accurate

where one of his relatives found one of his crazy YouTube videos and called the SB police. They interviewed him and determined that he was a nice, polite young man and they didn't think there was anything to worry about. I guess none of them has ever dealt with a sociopath. It's one of their traits. They can be charming as hell to your face, all the while plotting your torture and death.

learned to "fake" normalcy to a certain extent.

Again, having an autism spectrum disorder doesn't lead to mass murder, but Antisocial Personality Disorder ("psychopathy&quot certainly can and does.

I honestly don't think the Asperger's was a factor here. The "charming" part has to do with the sociopath part. It's why they can lure victims in so easily. The trouble with this guy was that his severe neediness along with outrageous expectations about women betrayed him so his "charm," at least with women, was trumped by his "creep" factor. His "charm, however, was good enough to fool the police.

Harris was a manic-depressive, but klebold was a sociopath. He knew he was putting up a front, as detailed in FBI documents released after the investigation was closed.

And I read on here somewhere that more than one person had mentioned him to some sort of law-enforcement.

This will, unfortunately, not be one of those "out of nowhere" surprises

Absolving them is inaccurate

Thanks

the "craven politicians" and the NRA. He is SO RIGHT!

You will lose any remaining faith in humanity. Right underneath a heartbroken father, the cretins who vote for these "craven politicians and the NRA" appear and mouth off. These people are depraved. We MUST stand up to them.

Broke my heart. That poor father will probably get death threats from NRA nuts but his words couldn't be more true.

pointed to the gutless politicians and NRA.

so often in America?

Background checks only prevents people who have sought treatment for various mental illnesses from owning guns.

The only way to prevent tragedies like this is by a total gun ban like in England and Australia or requiring all gun owners to submit to a $2,500 fee, a psyche eval and interview every 5 years in addition to holding gun owners responsible for any crime committed with a weapon that was not properly secured. Furthermore any gun owner arrested for any crime would automatically have to forfeit all weapons until the case is adjudicated.

Police depts. have garages full of them usually.

are coming of age in.

I worry about my nieces and nephews enough as it is.

Never had children but I've received much joy from nieces and nephews. You're right, its worrying.

and they have found more bodies at his apartment complex.

Did you see him double over in anguish at the end.
I cannot imagine what his family is experiencing now - the kid was not only a nice young man but he had a 4.0GPA.

Cue the NRA, Fuks News and Gun Krazies to come to the defense of guns and the killer.

but since nothing has been done for the close to 30 slaughtered at Sandy Hook, I have my doubts that the NRA or the tools they have bought give a flying fuck.

It's the story of his life starting with the fact that his birth was an accident.
What a victim.

more, because of all the deaths that occur due to their inaction

imho

our gun violence problem. But I agree there are other factors at play, lack of proper mental health care being a big one.

What do you have to say to this?

If the victims were packing it wouldn't have happened

but I'm really happy he called out the NRA and gutless politicians who refuse to stand up to them. Can't wait to hear the spin the gun nuts try to throw his way. Hopefully this will wake more people up. It's not about the right to bear arms anymore; it's about the right of gun manufacturers to sell them.
Martinez has every right to call them out; ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We have the right to live free of random shootings.

and scream about this madness

to gun toting maniacs, and march on Washington!

News conference coming up

Really

Accountable

are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"-- President Obama, December 2012

Gabby Gifford was a member of Congress and she was almost killed. Look how many children and young adults have been slaughtered since her shooting and still nothing has changed.

Based on their history, they are probably planning a future convention in Santa Barbara. Those assholes seem to think the best defense their sickening offense.

But I'm sure you're right.

That was very powerful. I hope that it gets replayed many times.

It is everywhere.

a direct call out of the NRA with that level of emotion is something I don't remember from other parents. That must have connected over in Britain. They can't imagine putting up with the NRA mafia.
