Donald Trump on WDBJ-TV shootings: ‘This isn’t a gun problem; this is a mental problem’
The Washington Times ^ | 08/27/2015 | David Sherfinski

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in the wake of Wednesday morning’s shooting deaths on live TV of a reporter and videographer in Virginia that it isn’t a gun problem but a “mental problem.”

Asked Thursday on CNN’s “New Day” if he would do something different about gun policy, Mr. Trump said: “Well, I don’t think I would, because this is really a sick person. This isn’t a gun problem; this is a mental problem.”

“Frankly, you know, a case like this, he snuck up on ‘em. Whether it was a gun or a knife or whatever it would have been, it would have been something,” Mr. Trump said. “But you know, you’re not going to get rid of all guns, so I know one thing: if you tried to do it, the bad guys would have ‘em, to use an expression, and the good folks would abide by the law. They’d be hopeless and. … it would be a hopeless situation for them, and I think it’s a big mistake.”

Someone here usually comes by and clobbers me whenever I say this, nice for a change when someone agrees with me.

“This killer really wasn’t mentally ill,”

He was all the things you say, but he definitely had a hamster that had fallen off the wheel.

When they went to his third floor apartment the found a queer porn library, a bunch of “unwashed” queer sex toys, and cat feces everywhere. No cats.
He had been accused in the past of throwing cat feces at neighbors, and the police believe he had killed the cats recently.
This guy didn’t have a loose marble, the whole bag had split open, and something was playing pinball with them.

They need to get over it and get real.

Those souls that buy into that social justice nonsense are as lost as the crazed TV journalist gunman IMO.

That they go to a “church” matters not.

The reason for billionnaire Trump's ascent is that all white people are intolerant racist bigots who constantly use little matters like this and microaggression to prop up white privilege. /s

Yes, it’s a mental problem. The local paper reports today on Flanagan’s complaint against Alison Parker:

Flanagan complained about remarks made by Parker, who was then an intern. Flanagan told Baldwin “Alison made a couple of statements that he thought were racist. One was something about ‘swinging’ by some place; the other one was out in the ‘field.’”

With very few exceptions, today’s minority community is one big class of spoiled brat toddlers and it’s the fault of their “parents” aka the government for having:

1. no expectations
2. giving them everything on a silver platter
3. making excuses and special exceptions
4. never saying the word “no”
5. the ever growing lack of boundaries (as in what a feral child can get away with in public)

Animal abuse: a sure sign of a narcissistic sociopath—like Obama.

Throwing cat poop at your neighbors: A sure sign that one of the wheels fell off your wagon - Like all Liberals.

LOL

I agree with you; nice response!

“Abortions” necessary to save a mother’s life are virtually never necessary I’ve read.

That is to say if a woman has a tubular pregnancy and will die from her tube bursting, the doctor goes in and removes the reason she will die; the section of the tube that would otherwise burst, but does not abort the baby. Of course the child dies, but the surgery was not to take the life of the baby away. The intent was to save the mother.
