I don't get it.
AND the TALKING heads need to STFU..........People are dead. We don't need to call the shooter a tea partier, or a democrat or anything else but MURDERER.
ABC News jumped the gun and said he was a member of the tea party.

And I will leave with this.........I hope the guy wrongly accused and DISPARAGED by ABC sues the living **** out of ABC and everyone responsible for the FALSE report.

The media is out of control anyway and this kind of stuff proves it. A level headed person would think that the should have the facts straight before opening their mouth or writing an article. I hope the guy gets sued along with abc.
There are pieces of information floating around that he was a member of "Black Bloc" . The paramilitary arm of the Occupy movement.
Also, there are posts and links........LOTS of them, stating he was the Leader of Occupy San Diego for a while.
Scary stuff.
There is wacko's in every group. Tea part, demos, Republi-pukes, Marines, Astronauts, plumbers, doctors, TV celebs.
The primary groups this guy belongs in IMO are:
1. Wacko.
2. Apprended individuals
3. Tried and guilty.
4. Appeal denied. Insanity or stupidity never justifies murder.
5. Shot by firing squad comprised of the members of the families [U][/U][B]that lost a loved one to his act.[/B]
Only other questions I got:
- Why no details about what door he came in where he fired from, how long etc?
- Did any one there try to take the are down?
Just me, with a clear conscience, I don't think I could have hit the deck after the first couple rounds, and not starting thinking about a fire and maneurver plan after about shot 15 was fired. I understand what it's like to know if you move there might not be anymore birthdays. I understand the effect of the shock. I wonder if we have become so passive sometimes that we huddle and hide when we should be righteously offend, rebel, and lash out.
I respect all that were there. I was not. I plead guilty of second guessing.

Good point Geo. Makes you wonder about that bumper sticker that says "When we make guns illegal, only criminals will have guns".
Let law abiding citizens carry guns, more so than already, and let us defend ourselves.
That "NO FIREARMS" sticker on the door really stopped the whackjob from walking into the theater with his guns, didn't it?
When you ban guns, you just take them from the hands of law abiding citizens who can use them for good. The crazies and nutjobs and criminals obviously don't care about the law anyway.
Very sad what happened in Colorado...horrible...and the media just trips over themselves to talk about how his weapons were an assault style rifle, a Glock pistol, and a 12 gauge shotgun...as if it has any relevance at all. The problem was the person on the trigger, not the weapons used...but some people are never going to get that.
And you know, I'll add this...because all of this coverage of the tragedy in Colorado has got me kind of torn up and thinking about things...
The sad fact is that things like mass-shootings, bombings, terrorist activities are sometimes the price we pay for the freedoms we enjoy. We can debate it for hours, but more gun control isn't going to prevent shootings like this. I'll also concede that the real chance of a legally-armed citizen actually stopping a mass-shooting by fighting back is rather low, unless it's someone with good training - Though I still like those odds better than sitting back and doing nothing. Lastly, nobody wants all of our public spaces to be secured like fortresses with metal detectors and surveillance that prevents the freedom to move about as we please. Unfortunately, this means that when someone mentally unstable snaps and wants to kill a bunch of people, they have plenty of opportunities to do it.
I don't know what to say other than that.
God bless all the families affected by what this SOB in Colorado has done.

That is an excellent question. My first thought is probably not. I tend to think most CCDW carriers would regard such a sign with contempt, considering it counter to public safety. But I must plead guilty of ignorance on the subject. Here's an idea: Change all "NO FIREARMS" signs to read "NO FIREARMS WITHOUT CCDW LICENSE." They wouldn't even have to take down the old ones; they could just tack on an addition at the end.

Y'know, Geo does go a little far sometimes, and he and I bash heads quite a bit, but at least he doesn't resort to the kind of personal attacks that you do. If you hate the guy so much, put him on your ignore list. If you're not willing to do that, at least quit posting these obnoxious retorts. You're not impressing anybody with your hypocrisy, just cluttering up the board with your garbage.
