What drives a person to go into a cinema and murder innocent people.....

[GeoFisher]

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.

[GeoFisher]

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.

Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interests and the interests of the site as family friendly, if we just made the rule that anyone who uses or abbreviates the F word took a hike for a month to cool off?

I mean you can be firm, candid, and even vicious with a peron without swearing in public. I'm no saint myself, but why don't we just all subscribe to a higher level.

"2. No Profanity or Foul language. No partial profanity followed by #*@#. We get a lot of young people on the boards and we will not tolerate poor behavior."

Do we apply this rule evenly and to all?

If I "ignore bad behavior" and make a post, how do I see if they are attacking me in public? Do I not have some right to defend myself, and to do that don't I have to be aware of the attack?

Point taken Bob, but then where does it end.

How about the sexual innuendo that exists in quite a few posts.. There is also some implied racism......Also some serious implied and directed homo sexual bashing.

I'm just saying........we say this is an all encompassing "family friendly" site, yet most kids I know today are exposed to 10 x what I imply in the first 30 seconds on a school bus or in home room.

If we're going to gripe and complain about STFU, the we need to gripe and complain about ALL other "implied" situations that may degrade from this family friendly environment.

I will comply however we NEED to comply.

You da man, and I agree. Being out of bounds on any of those fronts makes us less than what we really ought be. We got to start somewhere. so lets start with the "F" Felonies......and work into the "missing domeanors". I think as sportsman we'd all agree it's just below us to get into the foul language, racism, sexism thing.

And again, I plead guilty as much or more so than the next guy.

And before anybody else says it,,,,,yep this kettle is calling the pot black. A guy don't have to be perfect to figure he can improve.

We all bring so much to the board so much info, and so much help to each other.

I'm as guilty as the come.

I will try to refrain from that, and other questionable language...but I will STILL hammer on boneheaded things that drive me crazy.....

Thanks for keeping it real.

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 that lost a loved one to his act.

We're all in this together.

We all bring something to the "TEA"....no strike that......"Coffee Party".

Cheers to all!

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.

I wonder if anyone with a conceal carry left their carry weapon in the car........Movie Theaters have those signs.....NO FIREARMS.
