Suspected School Shooter: 'This Is the Only Time I'll Be in the News'

The gunman in Thursday's shooting at an Oregon community college was a 20-year-old male, Gov. Kate Brown said at a press conference broadcast by KOIN. Police and the superintendent of the state also said the gunman exchanged gunfire with police and that he is dead, though it was not revealed whether he killed himself or was shot by authorities. Police recovered three pistols and one long gun from the scene, CNN reports. At least 10 are dead in the shooting.

A source tells CNN that investigators are looking into social media postings from Wednesday night that are believed to be between the gunman and others. When the gunman revealed his mass shooting plans, some called him a loser, some called him a "twisted hero," at least one person urged him not to go through with it—and others egged him on with suggestions about what to do. The suspected gunman allegedly wrote, "This is the only time I'll ever be in the news. I'm so insignificant." Click for stories of horror from the scene.

“And that’s why they do it. To become a legend.”

And our worthless propaganda machines called the MSM will accommodate these vile bxstards for weeks and weeks. They become famous and for those with such twisted minds, famous is enough. Gun free zones only aid them in their perverted desire to bully others with a firearm as in shooting fish in a barrel.

Fewer gun free zones would help. The MSM needs to tone down the discussion to one succinct report a day rather than weeks. The latter would go against their propaganda grain.

I think hat final two lines are some of the best writing in the English language. You can just feel the slime and smell the decay in those lines.

Imagine if you pulled out a small 9mm and blew his brains out of his eyes. Would you be a hero, or a goat.

That was a line from Dark Matter by Porcupine Tree.
