I heard yesterday that the only person arrested in the Libya attack was let go in Turkey because of LACK OF EVIDENCE!

You could always leak your unrealistic musings to Prison Planet or some other bunch of conspiratards and watch the fun begin.

Maybe it was just workplace related violence like the Ft. Hood shooting. No terrorist attacks on Obammy’s watch. Nope, no sir-eee.

And they herded the kids onto an open football field!? Can we say “kill zone”?

My thought exactly.

I am very confused by this post. What 4th grader goes to Taft High School or gets picked up at Taft High School?

They hit puberty early around those parts.

Taft HS is in the southern part of the San Fernando Valley. Woodland Hills CA.

Kids are probably mix. Very rich, rich & middle-class. Near Encino. Very rich. Movie starts. Think Clark Gable's house.
The hills near there overlook the whole valley. South on the 405 thru a pass in the hills and you are in Beverly Hills.

Clips are for girls hair, guns use magazines.

I use a 10 round clip to load the magazine attached to my SKS. Never tried putting that in a girls hair though. I am tired of fighting that the clip fails. It's like trying to get someone from the south to call a Coke a pop instead of a Coke or soda. It just won't happen.

"The suspected shooter—a 16-year-old male student at the school—did not show up for the start of first period, police say. He entered the school with a 12-gauge shotgun and interrupted his first period class, shooting one student.

The victim, another 16-year-old, was airlifted to Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield, Calif., with a shotgun wound to the upper right chest. He is in critical but stable condition.

The gunman named a second student in the 28-person class and fired the shotgun again, but missed police said. A teacher and a campus supervisor engaged the shooter in conversation inside the classroom, school officials said, and were able to convince him to put the shotgun down. The shooter was then taken into custody by police...." http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/high-school-shooting-taft-california-183012601.html

I know I'll catch grief for saying this; but my first thought was: “This corrupt and evil Administration had something to do with this.” Hey, look what they did in Fast and Furious! Can you blame me for thinking this?

I keep thinking the same thing but I think it’s just the filter. How many gun stories where someone has saved lives with a gun being Ignored? All of them.

This one probably fits their template just well; they have a bunch of liberals to interview on scene and the teachers talked the suspect down from his rage. It all fits well for them.

And for Rep. Gabby Gifford and her husband, who is an astronaut, are still around and campaigning. A Federal judge and six or seven others died there that day but that doesn't help the narrative. It was all about Gabby.

I had a thought that spun my head through conspiracy central.

There have been Gov’t experiments at mind control.

Experiments that actually seemed to work in some circumstances.

What would stop this Gov’t from applying this technique to provoke susceptible individuals to gun violence.

Behold the new meme: "We can TALK our way through these things, see, no need for violence, and those bitter clingers don't get involved..."

Those two Communists make me sick. And, after ramming through DeathCare — despite the fact that the vast majority of her constituents opposed it (Gabby knew better than we did and told us so) — she is continuing to receive daily PT, yoga, speech therapy, etc. (as per CNN). Only the best for the nation’s nobility, any of the peasants with health issues can eat cake.
