I`d almost forgot it`s Mohammads big day.
Another crazed ROP adherent.
Read the other day he was close to eliminating his
`bro Malvo to not have a witnesses that could talk
The VA gets the day off. Or, I should say, takes the day off. Kind of weird... if they don’t take it off it’s a bit insensitive, but if they do well... aren’t they the ones that are supposed to be SERVING veterans?
Good point, I wonder if the hospitals and clinics on post are closed? The soldiers are off tomorrow, as should be.
It is some poor slob, probaly leading a piss poor life and seeking fame. In this culture, fame is everything. It causes people to eat worms on TV, get hit in the groin for a YouTube video and do other things that normal people wouldnt do.
Unless,of course this bozo was a raghead, then every knows the reason for that.
Right. 11/11/2009
Then there’s 11/29/2009
It’s open season. People have free health care now.
Wait until Pelosi comes after your guns because of nutso copycat killers.
A witness said the armed person was carrying two guns. He reported hearing 3-5 shots and later saw a person running from the area with blood on her legs.
A LifeFlight helicopter landed at a nearby field and transported one person to the hospital.
KGW television reported on its website that as many as 10 people had been wounded in the attack, without giving information on the extent of injuries.

Witnesses said that just before noon a man armed with two guns, likely a rifle and a pistol, walked into a Legacy Medical Clinic in the Tualatin Business Park and opened fire on people in the building.
Dave Merriman, who was driving in a truck near the building at the time of the shooting, said that at around 11:48 a.m. he saw a woman in a white lab coat covered in blood running down Martinazzi Avenue from the Tualatin Business Park just west of Interstate 5.
“She lunged in front of the truck and screamed, ‘Get me out of here as fast you can!’ ” Merriman said.
Merriman said that the woman told him an armed man walked into the clinic’s office and opened fire. “She told me that he came right into the office with two guns and just opened fire,” he said.
Merriman said that he heard loud pops fired from an area near the intersection just before noon. He called emergency dispatchers but the line was busy. A few minutes after he heard the shots, several police officers zoomed to the area in their patrol cars, he said.
Merriman said the woman he helped suffered minor injuries, mostly cuts from glass, and was treated by medical workers.

>>can you blame them...??...look at the insanity in washington...i am afraid this is just the beginning...<<
You can bank on it. It took longer than I thought it would, but it is just starting. And for diverse reasons all rooted in our current economic/political/cultural environment.
The next six months will be VERY interesting, but not as interesting as those following them.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away!
(Not that I mind, it's impossible for them to be everywhere. But it argues for a well armed citizenry.)
At what point is it not tin foil crazy to suggest mind control, or at least controlled events? Right in the middle of muslim terrorist attack news cycle, another crazed man is loose. This one in Tualitn comes up, then of course we are told that a much loved Muslim Kareem Abdul Jabbar comes forward to put a softer face on the philosophy of hate. All to take focus off of the Health care, global warming, and our Reps running up the credit card.
Many long years ago, I lived directly across the tracks from Tualatin park. At the time, there were 2 gas stations, one small grocery store, a bar, a small mom & pop restaurant and a town Marshal, a Mr. Manlove.
As kids, we used to walk down the tracks and jump off of a RR trestle into the river and catch crawfish. The Blue Mountain dog food plant was one of my first real jobs. It was a good place for a kid to grow up... most of Oregon was back then.
Things have sure changed...
“We’ll probably hear about how the perp didn’t have health insurance and snapped under the pressure.”
Except for the fact of the Oregon health plan.. oopsie. bad choice of location for that one
I’m getting no confirmation of the NUMBER 10.
Looks like it will be a while before the media gets the facts straight.
KATU TV (www.katu.com) is reporting that the shooter is dead apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot. A woman is dead. Two, maybe three other people were transported to the hospital.
I lived in Tualatin in the early 80s. I found out my kids used to walk along that trestle and I freaked out.
It’s gonna come faster than expected. I bet Schumer is scheming with people behind closed doors, keeping it very hush-hush.
Maybe it would be a good idea to get some facts before making comments that will make us look foolish. Just a thought.
2 confirmed dead, at least 2 injured at this point according to local news in Portland.
Yeah, I’ve never understood the importance of being the first to scream about motive.
A guy walked into a lab and started shooting a gun. That’s what is known about motive at this point.
Wasn’t there an Izzy’s pizza? Sorry, we moved about 14 yrs ago. I loved living in Tualatin.
