It’s those “damned guns”. That’s the ticket.

Momma’s boy. His feelings were hurt like the Camel Jockey at Ft. Hood when he was fired. He did not mind putting his Mom at risk. I bet he considered using her as a hostage.

Hi Mom, can you make me a sandwich? I need you to wash these clothes. Oh, and don’t answer the door.

It has to be traumatic to report your own son. She did the right thing.

Mayor says LEO did great job,

He left and drove home to moms place.

Police rarely at the location to stop crime from going down.

“•people barricading themselves into their offices, calling 9-1-1 for help.”

How much would you like to bet that this building is labeled a gun-free zone?

Good thing he’s in custody.

It’s strange, though, how this was so convient to turn all media focus away from the Ft. Hood muslim who killed soldiers.

You said — I believe Lord Zero’s election was a clarion call to the latent jihadists in our country.

That may be so, but they’re not the only ones killings people in this country...

Yesterday it was a Muslim — TODAY it’s a Cuban or Mexican (maybe, by the name Rodriguez and the way he looked) and before that it was a white guy (McVeigh, blowing up some building) and next time it’s liable to be a Chinese or Japanese guy.

Some US mass shootings...

Here is a glance at some of the worst U.S. mass shootings:

April 3, 2009: A 41-year-old man opened fire at an immigrant community center in Binghamton, N.Y., killing 11 immigrants and two workers. Jiverly Wong, a Vietnamese immigrant and a former student at the center, killed himself as police rushed to the scene.

March 10, 2009: Michael McLendon, 28, killed 10 people, including his mother, four other relatives and the wife and child of a local sheriff’s deputy, across two rural Alabama counties. He then committed suicide.

Feb. 14, 2008: Former student Steven Kazmierczak, 27, opened fire in a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, fatally shooting five students and wounding 18 others before committing suicide.

Dec. 5, 2007: Robert A. Hawkins, 19, opened fire with a rifle in Omaha, Neb., at a Von Maur store in the Westroads Mall, killing eight people before taking his life. Five more people were wounded, two critically.

April 16, 2007: Cho Seung-Hui, 23, fatally shot 32 people in a dorm and a classroom at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, then killed himself in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Feb. 12, 2007: Sulejman Talovic, 18, killed five and wounded four at the Trolley Square mall in Salt Lake City. He was then shot and killed by police.

Oct. 2, 2006: Charles Carl Roberts IV, 32, shot to death five girls at West Nickel Mines Amish School in Pennsylvania, then killed himself.

March 21, 2005: Jeffrey Weise, a 16-year-old student, killed nine people – his grandfather and his grandfather’s companion at home, and then five fellow students, a teacher and a security guard at Red Lake High School in Red Lake, Minn. – before killing himself. Seven students were wounded.

March 12, 2005: Terry Ratzmann, 44, gunned down members of his congregation as they worshipped at the Brookfield Sheraton in Brookfield, Wis., slaying seven and wounding four before killing himself.

July 29, 1999: Former day trader Mark Barton, 44, killed nine people in shootings at two Atlanta brokerage offices, then committed suicide.

April 20, 1999: Students Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, opened fire at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., killing 12 classmates and a teacher and wounding 26 others before committing suicide in the school’s library.

March 24, 1998: Andrew Golden, 11, and Mitchell Johnson, 13, killed four girls and a teacher at a Jonesboro, Ark., middle school. Ten others were wounded in the shooting.

Oct. 16, 1991: George Hennard, 35, smashed his pickup through a Luby’s Cafeteria window in Killeen, Texas, and fired on the lunchtime crowd with a high-powered pistol, killing 22 people. At least 20 others were wounded.

Aug. 20, 1986: Postal worker Patrick Henry Sherrill killed 14 people in an Edmond, Okla., post office, then killed himself.

July 18, 1984: James Oliver Huberty, 41, an out-of-work security guard, shot and killed 21 people at a McDonald’s restaurant in San Ysidro, Calif. He was slain by police.

Aug. 1, 1966: Former Marine sharpshooter Charles Whitman climbed the stairs to the observation deck at the University of Texas Tower and began a 96-minute shooting spree, killing 14 people and wounding 31 before he was shot and killed. He had stabbed his mother and wife to death earlier.

Mass shootings/killings have been part of our society for a long while now... On and on it goes...

Just saw him on channel nine being frog marched into PD. Calmly told reporter when asked why he did it, “because they left me to rot”.

I was there a year or so ago and there was no signage stating that guns were not allowed. I have my concealed carry permit and am sensitive to those things. I sometimes accidently don’t notice the signs until I’m on my way out of the building though.
