I read here on FR, about a week or two ago that when this sort of mass shooting occurs here are the average results;

If the shooter is stopped by a individual with a gun, the average number of deaths is 4.

If the shooter is stopped by police with guns, the average number of dead is 12.

I am surprised that some student blogging there would not ID the animal.

Maybe. But remember in Columbine they asked a girl if she was Christian and shot her when she said yes.

When every second counts, the police are only (many) minutes away.

And, the response time for a 911 call is 23 minutes. The response time for a 45 ACP is 850 feet per second. Which do you want to depend on?

“Umpqua Community College (UCC) is a community college located approximately six miles (9.7 km) north of Roseburg, Oregon, United States.

The college has sixteen campus buildings located on 100 acres (40 ha)[1] bordering the North Umpqua River.[2] The campus also features a track, tennis courts, and an outdoor pool. In 2009, a vineyard was added to the campus.[3]

About 3,300 full-time students and 16,000 part-time students attend UCC. Umpqua Community College serves the greater Douglas County region with the exception of Reedsport and its immediate area along the Oregon Coast.”

(does he (and do his followers in government) feel strongly enough about the issue to precipitate a false flag event if natural events don’t present the opportunity they are looking for?”....

Certainly there have been more than enough incidents such as this to implement his agenda, the problem becomes how to accomplish it. There is NO WAY that POS will live to see the results as someone, some crazy, will be rid of him on a permanent basis. I fear that day may come and then we will ALL pay the price, prison is the best answer.

I’m thinking that all of the “Gun Free Zone” signs were ONLY written in English. Shame on them!

If he were a Christian, we would have already seen a picture of him. The words “white man”, “right winger” and “racist” would be flying through the air. His facebook page would be revealed and no doubt there would be a confederate flag someplace in his apartment.

How do you think the media will handle it if he is a m——m?

I agree re: jumping to conclusions.

Myself, I think I’ll just wait for the final report. If this is a religious killing...we will know.

That is definitely a tactic they will use.

The incident reminds me of this letter I sent to my college as they made a similar imbecilic decision to establish the campus as a “gun free zone”.

Your decision against legal concealed carry memorializes the anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings with practiced irrationality. You replicate the same comforting environment Seung-Hui Cho embraced, while asserting psychopaths must cower before a rule forbidding licensed students to carry pistols.

A rigorous, twenty-year study by John Lott and William Landes from University of Chicago Law School supports expanded concealed carry in public places. Passage of shall issue laws correlates with large decreases in multiple victim shootings, and reduced harm when shootings actually occur. Use of citizen deadly force makes startling interruptions causing assailants to abandon or improvise assaults. Police then respond to incidences in progress, instead of arriving for body counts and paperwork.

Also important were absences of shootings. Public place shootings provide perpetrators leading roles in malevolent fantasies. Previously imagined screams and explosions suddenly penetrate their beings, embellished by intimate, self-created visual stimuli of human terror, bloody mists, broken bodies, culminating in splendid, convulsive suicides at their chosen moment. The latent presence of armed citizens provides a deterrent disqualifying those places, and leading prospective murderers to abandon fantasies, or to seek a supportive “gun free” environment.

Rather than invite or allow licensed individuals, it seems more comforting for public officials and media to weave pleasing illusions around an occasional Columbine, Omaha mall or Virginia Tech, than recognize repeated cases of armed citizens thwarting violence. The Linfield campus shall become an official island of contentment for predators, during the ten-minute plus police response time.

Even faster if he turns out to be a leftist, like so many of these shooters are/were.

I pray these madmen, or evil men, be stopped before they act. But dead Lord, I want to read some day that people didn’t lie on the floor. I want to read that someone shouted “Let’s roll,” and they all rushed the bastard.
