A lady on Fox says “The Nation mourns”. Most of us do, but it’s nothing like the mourning that the families of these innocent people must now go through.

God bless them all. I can barely imagine the horror and pain.

“I’d kind of agree with that policy of no weapons - at least for students.

Admin and staff and faculty should be allowed to have them, though”

thats right, arm the Leftists

Quick correction - it was the North Hollywood shooting where the cops got rifles from local gun stores. The Tower shooting incident was where the civilian riflemen kept the lunatic pinned down until two policemen and one shotgun-carrying civilian could get up to the top of the tower and shoot Whitman at close range.

I was saddened — but not surprised — to learn that godhatesphelps.com was already registered. I could have had some fun with that domain.

The saddest day since 9/11 in this Country.
So frustrating that none of the 'good guys' on that Campus had a gun to fight that freak.
God bless all students and families involved.

They also planned to protest at the funerals of the Amish kids who were murdered in PA. They didn’t do it. GEEEEEE, I WONDER WHY.....

They won’t show up at this one, either. They just want to get their name out there for some more free publicity.

"...he bought the guns illegally."

That is so often the case. Yet, the Brady Bunch think by denying lawful citizens of weapons all will be well. Stupid...just plain ass liberal stupid!

Another professor was killed, Jamie Bishop, in the German classroom:

“He didn’t know the exact location, so he visited a few classrooms and lined up all students against a wall. The worst massacre took place at 9:50 am in room 200 where the students were learning German 2105. He shot them one by one; yes, the professor, Jamie Bishop who was a son of science-fiction writer Michael Bishop, died first.”

Harmless? He seems like a nut with an unhealthy obession for firearms. At the very least he should be investigated.

He didn't harm anybody. Didn't break any law, and looks like a harmless nerd. Probably knows and practices firearm safety like you and I practice breathing.

You're probably safer having him as a neighbor than your would be a neighbor who drinks and drives (like Ted Kennedy).

But, perhaps you are right. Maybe he should be "investigated" anyway.
