oregon shooting

[madhatter]

so apparently this guy is a self described"mixed race, conservative who despises organized religion but is spiritual" should provide for a field day for the left wing media if it turns out to be true...

then he singled out christians who are not part of an organized religion simply by being christian and who most certainly are at least somewhat spiritual? something doesn't pass the smell test here...

Dude killed a bunch of people, I don't think there's any merit in assessing his competence.

but that's exactly whats going to be done on countless blogs, news programs, campaign speeches and what not...

I don't have cable and won't be seeking the information on the internet Part of the problem is the overwhelming coverage of the incident and limelight placed on the shooter. The media does our nation a disservice covering these incidents the way they do.

period... my intention on most things is to react to them as they exist not as they should exist... but i agree that the sensationalism etc is over the top and not helpful... it's also not going to stop any time soon..

I'd like to know why we have a surge of active shooters now, but it didn't happen in the 30's, 50's or 70's at the frequency it is now.

Violent video games may be part of the answer. Playing Pong back in the 70's would not bring out violent tendencies.

This is absolutely true.
Space Invaders ain't Grand Theft Auto.
These kids have no idea what 'GAME OVER' means.

The sensationalism of these crimes does exacerbate the situation.
NEWS used to stand for North, East, West and South.
We need to make it stand for Now Extremism Will Stop.

Pray for us sinners.

Looks like another case of not attending to mental health issues. Read the entire article very interesting. How was this guy under the radar?

Information from a Facebook profile, which has since been shut down, ties Harper-Mercer to Torrance, California. It links him to the email address ironcross45@gmail.com, a reference to Nazi Germany, and shows he attended Switzer Learning Center — for people with "moderate to severe learning disabilities, emotional issues, attention problems, and behavioral disorders" — and El Camino College, both in Torrance

If the gunman had instead asked the students if they were Muslim and then shot them in the head the media would have exploded with rage, and EVERY Muslim cleric, scholar and expert would have been thundering and screeching on every channel. The little Muslim brat's fake clock in Texas caused more outrage than Christians shot in the head.
Now Obama talks of gun consification like that will solve the problem . The gun was the tool used but if this Muslim didn't have a gun he probably would of used a sword or other way to kill . Again it's a Muslim Extremist problem first and nut job second and gun issue third .

Oh, because he targeted Christians he's automatically a Muslim?

I have not seen anything stating he was Muslim. What mosque did he go to?

Link?

[Atomic1]

ISIS has even thanked him for following thru on their request . You guys need to get off the " government controlled " media and get a clue . This was another Muslim extremist hate crime against Christians and Jews!

If you're getting news from "real" sources, then why don't you share them with the group.

the site is run by anti gun zealots... you attempted to pass it off as being a a legit study by talking the definition of a mass shooting, changing that to qualify many more incidents and then failing to do so for the comparison countries, we call that PROPAGANDA...but you don't care because reality doesn't matter to you...again all you have is baseless personal attacks and idiotic delusional fantasies about both me and the laws you somehow think will get passed and be effective...
