"They" are staging a ton of shootings to try and go for the gun grab.

So many, in fact, that these fake shootings may surpass Law & Order for total number of extras used.

Sorry, folks...I've grown weary of this. I don't know where this country is headed but I doubt it'll get any better.

Fox News ‘expert’ reports breaking Oregon school shooting by blasting ‘anti-gun nuts’
By David Edwards
Tuesday, June 10, 2014 13:17 EDT



Fox News resident psychiatrist and Medical A-Team member Dr. Keith Ablow used an active shooting situation at an Oregon high school to pre-emptively attack “anti-gun nuts” for wanting to talk about gun saftey laws.

As the news was breaking of a shooting at Reynolds High School in Troutdale that reportedly left at least one person dead, Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle asked Ablow to talk about what could have led to the shooting.

“So often we see people are making these choices, some of it is premeditated,” Guilfoyle explained. “There are thoughts that they’ve recorded in a diary, online, in YouTube videos. Perhaps they’ve been seeking the help from a mental help professional — like yourself — troubled individuals, maybe problems at home. We have to try and unravel it to find out how it happened.”

“I think Americans may finally be getting the idea that the first thing they should think about is mental health gone awry in this system we have that’s so fractured that let’s people slip through the cracks,” Ablow opined.

“But the anti-gun nuts, they will be out in force, saying it’s all the guns,” he continued. “I predict that we’ll find again that yet another person who used a gun was compromised by one or more psychological or psychiatric illnesses that could have been detected.”

and those times often involve guns. WTF are we so stupid that the right to carry artificial penis' trumps our childrens right to live? The good guy with a gun argument is stupid, facile and untrue in the majority of these cases. More guns just means more deaths. Why can't we be more like the rest of the civilized world? We regulate so many more things better than we do guns. Why not have no, zip, nada sells without a background check, why not limit all magazines to 10 shots, why not disallow armour piercing bullets, why not disallow any military type weapons, why not have a 30 day waiting period and require passing a training course, why not limit total number of guns - who needs an aresenal? The only reason is profits for the industry matter more than life. Well, OK, that and the need to have a bigger metal dick.

In the Las Vegas shooting, the guy in Wal-mart that tried to use his CC to stop Jarad, was killed by Jarad's wife. So...they were on a mission to shoot the police, not the normal public. He'd still be alive today, if he hadn't jumped in there trying to save everyone.

It might explain why he hasn't been identified as of yet.

ON EDIT: New York Daily News

...(T)he black-clad gunman...opened fire in the Reynolds High School gym, causing students to hit the deck...(T)he Troutdale police said he was a teenager and that he killed himself in a school bathroom.

Well, we're getting close -- he's the right age to be a student, and I doubt that a gunman unfamiliar with the school would have found the bathroom so quickly.


ON EDIT: CNN
According to multiple law enforcement officials, the shooter was a student at the school. The gunman appears to have died from a self-inflicted wound, the sources told CNN.


Mission accomplished...hooray for me...

40. UPDATE: Revenge? A hate crime? A love triangle?

CNN: It played out again Tuesday at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Oregon, a city of 16,400 people 12 miles east of Portland.

A student at the school shot and killed another student before apparently taking his own life.

The shooter had an AR-15 rifle and a brown paper bag filled with more than 20 fully-loaded magazines as well as knives, a law enforcement source told CNN.

He entered the building that houses the school gym. He shot and killed...14-year-old freshman Emilio Hoffman...in a locker room, then apparently took his own life. His body was found in a restroom.

Police haven't yet disclosed the shooter's identity - or, more importantly, what compelled him to carry out such a horrifying act.

So they finally admitted that the shooter was a fellow student. Perhaps they've withholding his name out of consideration for both families. Or maybe it's because he's a minor.

Despite all the heavy artillery, however, I don't think the objective was to "take out" as many as he could. Sounds like he entered through the gym and sprayed some gunfire around (grazing a teacher) just to keep everyone from keeping him away from his real target -- Hoffman, who he knew would be in the locker room.

Which leaves the question of motive. A political statement? A hate crime? Revenge of a nerd? A personal vendetta? And don't laugh at the idea of a love triangle: My nephew's school once suspended two girls for fighting...over my nephew. And they were only TEN years old!
