yeah it is dick bag. The assault rifle ban was lifted by Bush to appease the nra and gun assholes or this asshole has to find another way to do what he did. These killing machines have no fukin business being in society. I know u republicans hate to ever take blame but the truth stings sometimes.Comment -
I think probably for each actual incident like this, there are 10 where guys are right on the cusp, but dont quite have the balls to actually take the final step and do it
and then there are probably 100 where the guy really wants to do it, but it too lazy and is just like "ah fuk it" and instead just rants on the internet
maybe the numbers are 100 and 1000, who knowsComment -
There was a witness on CNN radio that was claiming someone helped him open the door. The witness said that someone got on their phone and opened the door.....then a few minutes later someone came in and started shooting.
He said they were two different people. The witnesses cell phone was staticky so it was tough to understand him.Comment -
The globalist fascists love this. Just the kind of stuff they want to push more of their big brother agenda of increased security, spying on us, and taking away liberties in the name of fighting terrorism. Yes ten people died. That's bad. But it's not world news. And it doesn't warrant Obama's crocodile tears. The US president is a globalist masters puppet. Just as Dubya was. Don't know why people even bother voting anymore.Comment -
Full autos are legal here in KY. Knob Creek machine gun shoot is pretty sweet.

Stop trying to use this for any political agenda.
It is a tragedy and nothing more.Comment -
Any new government clarifications (or, better yet, just the fear of new regulations) that come out of this sounds great to me... Carpe the sharp +EV move is to convert the IRA to nothing but MREs, gold, and guns now to profit from Tea Baggers' rash stocking up for their always imminent Armageddon snipe hunt...

How come black people never do stuff like this? Its always some white dudeShut your mouth when you talk to Me!Comment -
It's true white dudes own two terrible categories:
dudes randomly shooting up public places
messing with young boys sexuallyComment -
I think gun violence among the African American community is pretty well documented.
This isnt a race thing. But maybe that's where I'm naive.Comment -
Then why is the percentage of molestation charges of whites LESS than the percentage of the country that is white?
It is a dumb stereotype that has no factual evidence. If whites are 65-70% of the population and 51% of the molestation charges/cases are with white people, that would mean whites are UNDERREPRESENTED in that crime.
Whites are overrepresented in embezzlement. So if you want to spew a racial stereotype that is actually true, stick with embezzlement for whites.Comment -
come on, guy!
I said white dudes own two categories, shooting up random public places and molesting young boys.
Those molestation rates you are looking at are not specifically for boys and the races of the abusers, are they?
If you could find that stat I will believe you. Godspeed.
This challenge affects odds of you becoming a lawyer! Any good lawyer could find those stats to use in court!!!!!!Comment -

We’ve Seen This Movie Before
By ROGER EBERT
Published: July 20, 2012
JAMES HOLMES, who opened fire before the midnight premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises,” could not have seen the movie. Like many whose misery is reflected in violence, he may simply have been drawn to a highly publicized event with a big crowd. In cynical terms, he was seeking a publicity tie-in. He was like one of those goofballs waving in the background when a TV reporter does a stand-up at a big story.
James Holmes must also have been insane, and his inner terror expressed itself, as it often does these days, in a link between pop culture and firearms. There was nothing bigger happening in his world right now than the new Batman movie, and in preparation for this day, or another like it, he was purchasing firearms and booby-trapping his apartment. When he was arrested after the shootings, he made no attempt at resistance. His mission was accomplished.
I’m not sure there is an easy link between movies and gun violence. I think the link is between the violence and the publicity. Those like James Holmes, who feel the need to arm themselves, may also feel a deep, inchoate insecurity and a need for validation. Whenever a tragedy like this takes place, it is assigned catchphrases and theme music, and the same fragmentary TV footage of the shooter is cycled again and again. Somewhere in the night, among those watching, will be another angry, aggrieved loner who is uncoiling toward action. The cinematic prototype is Travis Bickle of “Taxi Driver.” I don’t know if James Holmes cared deeply about Batman. I suspect he cared deeply about seeing himself on the news.
Should this young man — whose nature was apparently so obvious to his mother that, when a ABC News reporter called, she said “You have the right person” — have been able to buy guns, ammunition and explosives? The gun lobby will say yes. And the endless gun control debate will begin again, and the lobbyists of the National Rifle Association will go to work, and the op-ed thinkers will have their usual thoughts, and the right wing will issue alarms, and nothing will change. And there will be another mass murder.
That James Holmes is insane, few may doubt. Our gun laws are also insane, but many refuse to make the connection. The United States is one of few developed nations that accepts the notion of firearms in public hands. In theory, the citizenry needs to defend itself. Not a single person at the Aurora, Colo., theater shot back, but the theory will still be defended.
I was sitting in a Chicago bar one night with my friend McHugh when a guy from down the street came in and let us see that he was packing heat.
“Why do you need to carry a gun?” McHugh asked him.
“I live in a dangerous neighborhood.”
“It would be safer if you moved.”
This would be an excellent time for our political parties to join together in calling for restrictions on the sale and possession of deadly weapons. That is unlikely, because the issue has become so closely linked to paranoid fantasies about a federal takeover of personal liberties that many politicians feel they cannot afford to advocate gun control.
Immediately after a shooting last month in the food court of the Eaton Centre mall in Toronto, a young woman named Jessica Ghawi posted a blog entry. Three minutes before a gunman opened fire, she had been seated at the exact place he fired from.
“I was shown how fragile life was,” she wrote. “I saw the terror on bystanders’ faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don’t know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath.”
This same woman was one of the fatalities at the midnight screening in Aurora. The circle of madness is closing.

Is there a death tally where race becomes irrelevant or is it just irrelevant because he was white? Just like every anti-gun nut will claim this is due to assault rifle ban being allowed to expire and every gun-hugger will emphasis individuals being able to pack heat is god's chosen way if the guy had been black every racist on the board would have used the tragic opportunity to label blacks animals or monkeys and Opie would have popped in (at least twice) to show the value of his elitist education by calling him colored... You care to disagree?Comment -
I think that everything can be explained by statistics. What percent of the population is white? That is probably the percent or near the percent that these shooters happen. Didn't a black shoot up a mall a few years ago? And the guy at VT was asian? I don't think there is anything that has to do with race that has to do with senseless shootings.
Statistically, I do however realize that if I get shot in Chicago, there is a very good chance the shooter will be black. I know that because statistics do not lie.Comment -
