No mention of gunmen’s names or ethnicity. Until further evidence is available, I’m going to go on the safe side and assume they’re “Amish.”

No I! I'm going with "Mormons" after all, 155 years ago, a few of them were involved in the "Mountain Meadows Massacre" as we keep getting reminded by the handful of Hate Mitt and Mormon Freeps here.

the issue of the unguarded southern boarder comes to mine and the violence going on in Mexico.

No, couldn't be. Just heard someone from NYT's - or other Lib 'think tank' - offering that the violence in Mexico; was not at all likely to move into our country. . .

Whatever; whomever; this is a shock wave. First, of course; is the tragedy of it all.

They could very well be "Amish." And if they are...then this is a change in tactics for them concerning this country since, other than Hasan, they haven't done this as a terror tactic.

And since this would be a change...I would assume it is something else...like gangs or a lone nut job since so far in our history...this has been what it turned out to be...again...Ft Hood being the exception and his case was unique.

BTW—Ramadan starts July 20—TODAY—in the MidEast—tomorrow, July 21st in North America.

I hope the Amish are not involved.

Got to remember that, that is the OPINION of the NYT.

Had been told by another poster that there are up to 100 Hispanic gangs in the area.

Overall, a tragic situation.

Police on scene when it happened and still 14 killed? Did they stay out of the theater until the all-clear sign?

[Coldwater Creek]

Mexicans are not usually loners. My guess a fatherless white of small stature.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Once again 2nd amendment unconstitutional infringement allows 14 more people to be assassinated like fish in a barrel. We live in scary times; A lot of lunatics out there, a lot of religion of peace adherents, and the government insists we go out there armed only with spit.

[a real Sheila]

Yes, I’m sure the name was Ezekiel Yoder
or something like that.

I’m sure of it.

Hearing cars need cleaning, multiple cars needing cleaning. Hazmed?

[no-to-illegals]

Dang ... still too early to tell what is taking place?

Prayers up for all the victims and responders.

[stilloftyhenight]

I’m impressed. You caught that. Well done.

[Biggirl]

How would you know this?

[SueRae]

Sickening news to wake up to. Prayers for those affected by this horrible, evil attack. Swift and certain justice for the cretin who did this.

I’m not even going to get into the politics of the shooter/movie/etc. - this is just plain heinous.

[Biggirl]

Plus add, with members of gangs from Mexico/Central America, as part of the illegals coming into this country. Truly as you have said, we are living in scary times.

ABC reporting 24 year old white male.

According to local channel 9, one 3-month old child being treated at hospital for gunshot wounds, also some people being treated for chemical exposure.

Seroquel, Depakote. People with mental illnesses who should be hospitalized are now forced back into society. Between their illness and the drugs, they snap.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Wouldn’t it be something if the shooter was armed wth fast and furious guns.

[mkjessup]

You leave in CO by any chance?

I think I'd be 'leave-in' after this.
