You ever notice how these shootings NEVER, EVER take place at firing ranges?

You’re right. Clearly this story is a fabrication because no one could do this in England with the restrictive gun laws they have. :)

Based on the photo, he must be a Brit Tea Party member.

How does Paul McCArtney explain THIS?

Perhaps as an example of his global concerns, McCartney called the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico “a disgrace.”

“I think most of us think it’s a disgrace, and the fact that something like this can happen” is something that is “going to be addressed,” he said.


Oh Paul ... BP is a BRITISH COMPANY!

BP has NOTHING to do with MEXICO!

British Petroleum (BP) is a UK company.

BP plc[2] is a British global energy company which is the third largest energy company and the fourth largest company in the world. As a multinational oil company (”oil major”) BP is the UK’s largest corporation, with its headquarters in St James’s, City of Westminster, London.

LOOK at the craphole your COUNTRY HAS BECOME!

“quiet but friendly”

The English are always polite, even while on a shooting spree.

Somehow I don’t think the people he killed would describe the murderer as “quiet and freindly.”

Little wankor.

(The man said Bird enjoyed foreign holidays, travelling to Thailand each year with friends. He rarely spoke of any family. He said he was not aware of Bird owning a gun, or being a member of a gun club.)

Yeah, that’s what I thought, too. This must be a mistake.

Guns are all but illegal in the UK.

And all of those security cameras really helped stop this.

It’s still legal to own a shotgun and these shootings were done with one. Far more effective than a handgun but a little harder to conceal.

I wonder how they’re going to spin this since it didn’t happen in the US?

Cab driver?

In the U.S., Muslims have taken over the taxi industry....In fact, Muslims driving cabs are circling most of our major airports as I type.

Except for his “friend,” most of the shootings seem to be random.

Very strange.

IN FACT, at airports like Chicago, NY, LA and Dallas etc, there are thousands of Muslims circling these airports in cabs.

We need to thank the U.S. government for rolling out the red carpet and allowing these tens of thousands of Muslims into our country.
