    Shooting in Colorado Springs

    For several hours, the firing of a long gun was the only indication police had that the shooter was in the building, Buckley said. Officers finally made voice contact by shouting to him and convinced him to surrender, she said.

    I think this is the first time i've read about one of these incidents where the weapon wasn't called an "assault" rifle. You think maybe the media is finally wising up?..............naw, the editor is probably getting his ass chewed for not taking advantage of the crisis.

    Damn, I thought CO was supposed to be a whole lot safer with all those new "common sense" gun laws in place. There shouldn't be any gun crimes now....

    Interesting that there is not much information out there yet. They are not even saying that the guy was targeting the Planned Parenthood clinic, though they are also not saying that he was not. What little information I have been able to read seems to show that the guy was not targeting employees and that he shot at least one guy who was in a different parking lot (if I understood the geometry in the story). That guy lived and was shot in his car as he was trying to leave.

    Yep, as expected, Insane Hussein caught the agenda ball yet again and is running with it.

    “If we truly care about this -- if we're going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience -- then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them,” Obama said.
    Who are these people who, in his mind, "have no business wielding them"? Everybody.

    I saw a rumor last night that it started as a bank robber and he escaped into the PP. So far, the only new info is his name and that he's from North Carolina.

    Well, he "whose name shall not be spoken" has renamed the long rifle a "weapon of war", for that matter a pointy stick could be a weapon of war and actually was when warfare was a little more upfront and personal.

    Nothing more than actual proof that transgenderism is a form of mental illness, just like liberalism.

    I hope it comes out that he shot the place up because he felt discriminated against after being denied an abortion.

    I just heard from a close friend of mine. She thinks she worked for the shooter at his family business until it was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989.

    I'm going to keep following this to find out if it is the same person.

    I'm guessing the female listing on the voter registration is simply an error.

    I was just reading that of the 11 people shot, 5 were police, 6 were civilians, and none worked for or were patients at the PP clinic. First, initial report so it could very well be wrong. If it is right, how he ended up there becomes very interesting.

    I thought you said supporting gay marriage forfeits one's Christianity. Now you think it's wrong to criticize men who claim to be women?

    Why is that? Please explain?



    Now, I know your not really this stupid. So that means your just a fucking asshole.

    Not only are you an asshole, but you are a social security dependent welfare queen. If you earned the money you had coming in, your employer would have given it to you when you worked for him. Now your just a sad old sack of shit that has to collect his monthly Obama check just to pay the camper bill.

    Does your family ever come by to visit you or are they as convinced of your asshole nature as I am?

    I probably missed something......But I too read that as sarcasm. Sarcasm from N/A......
    "What sick, barbaric bastards.

    It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?

    Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

    So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....
