Veteran who fatally shot 12 at Borderline bar in Thousand Oaks had hatred for ‘college-civilians,’ report finds
KTLA ^

Posted on 07/01/2021 1:09:32 PM PDT by BenLurkin

An investigative report on a 2018 mass shooting during a Ventura County bar’s “Country College Night” found the likely motive of the military veteran who carried out the attack was disdain for civilians and especially college students, a newspaper said.

The investigators’ report said Long had attended California State University, Northridge, where a group of students learned of his military service and made disrespectful comments to him. Friends and associates of Long told detectives that some students expressed the opinion that people who join the military deserved to be shot and killed.

The report stated that a friend of Long said he was “very angry” while attending the university.

Cal State Northrigde is like most Calif schools.
From the get go in public L.A. unified school district you will find zero conservative teachers. It is knot allowed.
From grade 1 and before kids there are taught capitalism bad socialism and social issues are where its at and America Bad.
Since the Viet Nam war it has been so,

Uh-huh, so if you serve your country you’ll be immediately suspect. Reminds me of how Vietnam veterans were treated by the Damnedocrats when they got home.

I think Long smeared veterans.

This happened within our United States back in year 2018, however, I have zero recall of ever hearing about it before.
Not saying that I am omniscient; (He who sees all), but I look at the news every single day. Oh well.

Was Nancy on her first Impeachment proceedings back in 2018?

They had to dig back 3 years to support their narrative. They are setting up patriots as sub human for the crack down phase of this on going Communist Revolution.

Well, his story is probably true. I have a family member who dropped out of a college program in a Western state after it was revealed that the family member was a police officer. The comments and treatment by the priveledged brats, most of whom were not even working, were horrible, and this was a number of years ago.

He killed 12 people and he's being "smeared"? Did you forget a sarc tag?

In general, you are more likely to shoot people whom you don’t like. Is shooting people you don’t like a “worse” crime than shooting someone you are indifferent about?

My recollection is this was a gun-free zone where security, including off-duty officers working there, were unarmed.

“Though we cannot say with absolute certainty that this was the suspect’s motive, this is the working theory that has been established,” the report said.
What diabolical mendacity. This is called poisoning the well. It would be thrown out of a normal court.

Absolutely. What rock have all these subversives been hiding under. Suddenly they get their pedophile crook in the White House and they are all over the place.

We’ve gotta be more careful. MSM muddied the waters on Jan. 6 referring to the few rioters as right wing. Look at the LA Dodger pitcher(Bauer) who’s getting charged with assault. His pro-Trump statements are inferred a to why he’s the violent type. I just saw the movie “Nashville”. Mighta been Kieth Carradine who just couldn’t help but ask the army guy if he killed anyone lately. They’re sick and every time a sick fellow acts out we will get blamed. The accusers on the left have no shame when they pull their crap.

I’m surprised they did not mention the fact that he is a white male. Which in their view means he’s a white conservative Nazi supremacist.

Like most white people.

Used to be, country music attracted patriotic people who support the troops. If resentment for mistreatment was the reason, why not a different bar, with different music?

“Smearing the veteran. How low can they go?”

The vet - David Long - walked into a bar and started randomly shooting people. The cashier was one of the first ones to go. He did kill himself which saved the taxpayers some money.

Here is a summary of went down for those who may not remember.

No excuses. However, the discriimination he faced was probably genuine.
