Former US Marshal: Oregon Gunman Chose ‘Gun Free Facility’ with Umpqua Community College
breitbart ^ | 10/1/15 | ar hawkins

Posted on 10/01/2015 3:34:55 PM PDT by bestintxas

During an October 1 appearance on CNN’s Newroom, former US Marshal Art Roderick said the gunman at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College probably chose his target by knowing it was as gun free-zone and therefore “an easy target.”

Roderick’s exact words: “[The gunman] probably knew that the facility was a gun free facility, [which is] an easy target for these kinds of coward individuals. They know they’re not going to get any response unless they happen to run into security or a campus police officer.”

Roderick went on to explain that the key for investigators right now is ascertaining the gunman’s motive and figuring out how he got his weapon(s).

On August 2 Breitbart News reported that eight attacks with firearms in gun free zones in the last eight years resulted in the lost of 105 lives and the wounding of 150 others. Those attacks were on the Lafayette Grand Theater (July 23), Chattanooga (July 16), Fort Hood (April 2, 2014), DC Navy Yard (September 16, 2013), Sandy Hook Elementary (December 14, 2012), Aurora movie theater (July 12, 2012), Fort Hood (November 5, 2009), and Virginia Tech (April 16, 2007)

Libs are writing the book on how wannabe mass murderers can kill people.

Always go for those who cannot defend themselves.

It is time to haul the political leadership that allows this before a court as a violation of the Second Amerndment.

How could this possibly happen in a gun-free zone? s

Advertising a "gun-free zone" will certainly appeal to those determined to go on a spree killing.

I was listening to one of the online news stations in Or this PM. They had on a SWAT member from Colorado. They asked about guns and he said I am a strong supporter of concealed carry. You could almost hear a pin drop.

Later on another news station the report about the gunman killer POS asking the students what religion they belonged to before shooting, it was like the volume went to low gain as the air went out of the room....”moving right along to another caller”.

They know the shooter is 20 years old so they know his name but will not release it. Could it be Mohammed?

There’s about a zillion videos on Youtube on how to make a flamethrower not to mention all the websites that show how. After this shooting, no doubt liberals and the Kenyan in the White house who is currently hellbent on assisting Islamo-Nazis obtain nuclear weapons, will once again talk about disarming the law abiding American citizen because of it. Would they prefer psychopaths use those flamethrowers instead, mass burning people alive, or will they finally come to the sane realization that only thing that works against lethal offense is lethal defense? I highly doubt it. Like Trump says “It’s time to get the stupid out of government” Hell yes.

I want to know if the POS asked people their religion. I know the media would lie, cheat and murder to keep that from the public.

You see what happens to people who give up their guns, Mr. Omuslim?

That’s right, they get shot to death by someone with a gun like fish in a barrel.

So take your gun control and shove it up your butt.

Like Trump says, the stupid are running things. That has to end. There is a LOT of stupid people out there who elect the stupid and the answer lies with getting these people to see the light and I really think the answer lies to going down to their level to communicate. If it takes advertising during a Kardashian show then so be it. The fact is in this country, idiots - extremely uninformed morons - are allowed to vote and it is causing tremendous damage to the country. You ever watch Mark Dice? It’s mind blowing the stupidity out there, people who are just completely devoid of any concept of history, politics or basic rationale. This is the Democrats voter base. If conservatives can only grab a small percentage of these idiots by the lapels and simply educate them, the Democratic party would be finished.

Yes, Skarlatos is from Roseberg and the muzzies wanted payback. What a bunch of muzzie pussies to arrange an attack on kids in a classroom over their religion.
Nothing in this country will change until the current islamist-arming regime is GONE.....and Obama gets up and spins gun control. Extremely sickening.
