O'Reilly on Oregon Shooting: "People Around The World Must Wonder What Is Really Going On"
RCP Video ^ | 10-2-2015 | RCP transcript

Posted on 10/02/2015 7:40:24 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

BILL O'REILLY: Now this is another black mark for all Americans, as people around the world must wonder what is really going on in the land of the free.

And it is our freedom that allows insane individuals to kill so many people.

Guns are legal in America under the Second Amendment.

Tonight President Obama delivered impassioned anti-gun remarks, which we will discuss later.

But the mass murder today could not have been prevented by any legislation in my opinion.

(snip)

The country itself takes a massive hit whenever this kind of thing happens.

Thirty-two people killed at Virginia Tech, 27 slain at Sandy Hook, 13 murdered at Fort Hood, 13 dead in Binghamton, New York, 12 murdered in Aurora, Colorado ... the same number at the Navy Yard in Washington.

Charleston, South Carolina just last June, nine shot dead in a church.

There is no rational explanation for all the carnage, none. And no public policy will stop it.

We are living in a dangerous time where deranged human beings feel murder is an entitlement.

But the situation has now reached the crisis stage, as America desperately searches for some kind of solution.

The Democrat party certainly has a goal of fracturing the country. But, as I'm sure you'll agree, Obama is a force multiplier of sorts, and deserves a very special blame.

Back in 2009 Obama immediately said that the Cambridge “acted stupidly” when they arrested black professor Henry Gates. No waiting for any details, or anything like that. It was a vile - even evil - thing for Obama to say.

This guy continues to baffle me with his unbridled stupidity and free-flowing “insight”. What these freaks want is their time in the limelight, even if it eventually leads to their death, but only after they’ve killed as many people as possible. They admire the other freaks who get publicity, which is why they commit such acts in gun-free zones. Getting your skull perforated by a gun owner before you massacre dozens of innocents doesn’t make the news; it doesn’t fit the “narrative” of the leftist media, so you’ll remain a nobody - just as you were before you left the house this morning...

Oh yeah, and I even stated that he has led the charge for the last seven years, which is why we have the most divisive citizenry than we have ever had before in this country. But if you notice the Democrats never call him out because they are his complicit co-conspirators.

You have it, exactly.

These three latest shootings (Charleston and the Virginia news crew) are the canary in the coal mine that civil society is starting to break down.

Which stems directly from civil discourse having broken down. You can’t build up a political envionment based on using hateful PC labeling or soundbites to “win” on issues by bludgeoning your opposition into submission and silence and not have there also be a physically violent element to it.

If they banned guns in Gaza, Mogudishu, Rwanda, Syria, those people killed might still be alive. /sarc

I doubt that give a crap as long as it helps them in one way or another and obama is trying to do his best at that.

The logic of pin-headed liberals amazes me. They say we can’t deport 20 million illegals because it just can’t be done. But we CAN eliminate (deport) 300 million guns? Only a diseased mind could think like that. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

I’d love to know the real story of that picture.

There’s an M60 with a bipod next to the stacked rifles. A light machinegun isn’t really a the kind of personal weapon anyone (even Israelis) would take with them just to enjoy a day at the beach.

What is going on is the society is disintegrating and the President is promoting that disintegration. Taking away the guns will only increase the killing. The citizenry needs its guns to protect against the crazies who are being fueled by the burgeoning chaos and against the government when it makes its final move.

First, I have a question, does anyone have link to Obama’s remarks about Christians not being permitted to discriminate.?

The shooter greatly admired that mixed race homosexual who shot the young news people because he blamed all his problems on discrimination at the station. I am thinking that this Oregon shooter is also a mixed race gay who hated Christians and was inspired to shoot Christians by Obama’s remarks on Monday.

“There is no rational explanation for all the carnage, none.”

There are two groups of people that are doing this:
1. those on SSRIs (and are also, therefore, liberal leftist progressive totalitarian democrats that go off the deep end due to the cognitive dissonance brought on by their liberal mental disorder and exacerbated by the SSRIs)
2. muslims

Outlaw both groups and problem solved!

Yeah, because America is so much worse than say Saudie Arabia where people are constantly being executed, or Africa where genocide occurs regularly, or Iran where people are beaten to death in the streets by their government dishing out ‘punishment’ with canes- or in ....

I’ll just bet people around the world ‘are wondering’ while ignoring the MASS atrocities occurring in other parts of the world- Even if all the victims are added up of mass shooting here in US- they {PALE in comparison to the atrocities committed by foreign governments and terror networks! (Not dismissing the tragedy of mass shootings- just trying to point out oreilly is out of touch with reality- and he too apparently has an anti-gun agenda)

I give you another example, insane people killed ('mass shooting') in Switzerland, too. (Zug massacre, 2001; Daillon and Menznau, 2013)

Even more insane people (like Joe Biden, here, said 2nd Amendment Doesn't Say You Can Own An F-15 With Hellfire Missiles) get to decide policies.

Fwiw. World per capita murder rate has USA at 4.7% per 100,000 persons. Variously give over the last ten years as 110th or 94th on the scale of nations. Burundi (where ever that is) highest at 8% murders per capita.

The President is Harvard educated and could get his staff to research data.
