(4,157 posts)I don't even bat an eye when I hear about shootings nowadays, as it seems to be an almost daily occurrence. . . . What's strange is that nobody seems to care or have any desire to change things to stop this kind of shit.

Sigh....
Guess where the shooter probably is.

(19,568 posts)The PP is further south at Waterman and E. Hospitality. Basically, this is the other side of the golf course from where the medical center is if this is correct.
The San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department warned people to avoid the area due to police activity.
A hard closure was in effect at Orange Show Road / Waterman Avenue and Park Center Circle in San Bernardino, the Sheriffs Department tweeted.

They are looking for three fucking suspects. I hope it's not the kids with disabilities who were slaughtered here - we're days away from the anniversary of the Sandy Hook slaughter.

They had their best year ever according to the FBI. It will never stop. More shootings means more talk of gun control which means more excuses for the NRA to spin the propaganda wheel which means nothing will get done in Congress. Something needs to break this cycle.

I have a feeling that we have an ignorant shooter who did not know the area well. One medical facility looks like another type thing.

(34,582 posts)that the people that really run this country want this. They want chaos so they can continue to fuck us over with nary a peep out of us. Part of me also thinks that JFK was a warning. When that didn't take, then they did RFK and MLK to really make their point. What has any president since that time done anything that really helped the average American economically
