Well, there's this ...

From another site ...

 

 

Update, 5:20 p.m.: The Times has taken down its report that victims were asked to state their religion during the shooting.

 

Update, 4:50 p.m.: Oregon governor Kate Brown just said at a press conference that the shooter was a 20-year-old male. The New York Times reports, meanwhile, that one witness to the killings said the shooter "asked people to stand up and state their religion" during the incident.

Just another mentally ill American exercising his second amendment right to shoot people.

Dumbass post

If this is true.  The shit is going to hit the fan.

 

will that shit actually be doing something to stop this nonsense?

Nope.

This country basically said a collective "meh" when 20 six-year olds were slaughtered in their classroom.

 

I'm guessing even less of a shit will be given for 10-20 college kids.

Sad, but true.

Awful. I knew a few people from college that grew up there. It seemed like a nice place the few times I visited.

Yep.  Very sad but people love their guns more than they care about innocent lives.

Probably a coincidence, but Alek Skarlatos, one of the France train heroes, lives in Roseburg and studied at the college there.

I have three friends that went to this college before transferring to OSU and live about five miles away.  They are in shock.  Fortunately nobody they know was involved.

[Hollyw00d]

Of course

Even if every one was a cwc it won't stop people from dying. You never know when someone is going to do something like this. By the time it starts, someone has lost their life or had it dramatically changed forever. Hell they could be the first victim like the guy down in Nevada (or was it Arizona) where he confronted one of the two anarchists that killed the cops before being shot by the other. It's been awhile so I might have some of my facts wrong.

I'm all for cwc but we all know it won't stop stuff like this from completely happening. People will continue to die until a better solution is found.

School apparently had 1 security guard that was unarmed. That seems kind of stupid

Back in the day, some geeze 20 years ago.  My University had like 2 or 3 campus police.  And back then, they were talking of arming them, and the students did not want that at all.  Obviously it is a different environment now.  But back then, armed police who weren't police were the surest sign that power was going to be abused on campus.

CBS News: Shooter is 26-year old Chris Harper Mercer.

That's the name the lib media gave him.

Real name is Mohammed Al-Liki Mousawowi

I think the most prudent thing that can be done is to lock up all the white folk, since they are all mass murderers.  

 

Right Trump?  Right?

According to CBS, this is the shooter:

His Myspace page has two connections. One is "Mahmoud Ali Ehsani" with Islamic militant photos on his page, and another is a young woman.

His page is full of IRA propaganda pics.

I don't know what's true anymore. Some posters on another site are claiming those photos were added this afternoon.

 

This is very interesting, the hunt for the shooter's identity. 

[the dude abides]

It probably doesn't fit into the narrative of the folks on the other site.

[gotbeer]

I'm confused.  Is he white or Muslim?  Or maybe it's that Myspace is still around, and used.
