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

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.

Being a Veteran is completely irrelevant. It’s funny when a colored person commits a crime he/she is not mentioned by color by the scum media.

Colleges just doing what colleges do. Turn students in to angry violent brainwashed people.

He killed 12 people and he’s being “smeared”?


By our standards, no.

By their standards, and if the report is accurate, yes. He’s the victim (and to actual aggressive bullies).

This is insanity - why have things changed, when young people start shooting random people en masse?

I went to the same school in 1969, just after getting out of the Corps. The dang place was a hotbed of pro-enemy demonstrations and flag burning, so I did get involved in several fistfights but never considered killing anybody. (I even tried to take on the whole football team once - they were all wearing anti war demonstrator crap but I couldn’t get them to fight me. I was still recovering and not very fight-worthy at 106 pounds with steel leg brace and crutches)

That guy fired 61 rounds - that’s a lot of cold- blooded magazine changes.

My course advisor at Cabrillo College had a big NVA flag on his wall when I came to fill out my transfer to UC Davis. This was 1975.

He managed to kill two veterans, one of whom had survived that Las Vegas mass shooting the year before.

Yep. Lots of VC flags all over back then. Not the slightest connection to “peace”. Just plain, old-fashioned treason.

Wonder how the returning WWII vets would have reacted to Nazi or Japanese flags when they came home.

“He managed to kill two veterans, one of whom had survived that Las Vegas mass shooting the year before.”

Glad you mentioned it. It may help some remember the incident which was unusual in that a person survived the LV massacre only to die in this one.

Notice most of the people who pull this are out there leftists

Giffords was shot by a liberal guy who was upset she wasn’t liberal enough

And minorities are responsible for much higher percentages of violent crime than whktes based on their population percentages

But we arent supposed to make any judgments off that, claim the libs

Their whole foundational base is hypocrisy. They never run out of it because its what liberals are made from.
