Oregon gunman planned to kill 'bunch' of people

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A gunman who fatally shot his father and then a man camping at an Oregon beach earlier this week left behind notes that said he was mentally ill and planned to "kill a bunch of other people" and then himself.

Brimhall, 32, drove to a beach where he shot five cars in a parking lot, killing a Michigan camper who was asleep. Later Tuesday, his father was found dead on a remote logging road in southwest Oregon. He had been shot at least eight times the night before.

The messages were contained in a notebook found in Brimhall's car, where authorities also discovered 10 firearms, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, firecrackers known as seal bombs and the makings for an improvised explosive device. Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier released the notes Friday.

Brimhall, who had a concealed weapons permit, enjoyed firearms, as did his father. The family had a picnic that included target shooting on the day of the slaying, Frasier said.

I would gladly read any comment he has on this article, but his sole purpose here seems to be to google dump and flame bait.

Sad in my opinion, but better than the other group that blocks everyone except a few

was to dump & run here, then run back over to the rather empty castle and pull up the drawbridge. A perfect end-around for disruption. It will be more tedious, though, now that some of the "activists" have managed to win a free vacation.

I sense a growing frustration since Ferguson, what with black citizens bearing arms in open, and with no negative consequences therefrom. A number of Narratives™ have been left in tatters. Even proponents of gun-control have been smoking, flashing, and rocking back & forth like Robbie the Robot as they try to fit the square peg in the round hole.
