A gunman has opened fire at a country music bar during a student night in the city of Thousand Oaks, California, injuring at least 11 people and killing several.

The shooter stormed the Borderline Bar and Grill wearing a black trenchcoat armed with a pistol equipped with an extended magazine and smoke grenades and began targeting people as young as 18.

Among the victims was a Ventura County deputy sheriff and a doorman - as well as a cashier and college students. The lifeless body of a suspected male victim was seen outside of the venue.

“some folks just need to jump off a bridge I think”

Jump off a bridge? If you are going to post, at least post something that makes sense!

Gun control laws are for law abiding citizens, and sheep.

Because you have to be a sheep to pay attention to them.

Means people with crazy ideas of shooting up crowds before killing themselves should instead just jump off a bridge to end it all and spare everyone else.

Shooter might have been triggered by media hysteria and wanted to send a message using the name of the bar. “Borderline”...

My wife, Jenbean, grew up in TO. One of the safest, most conservative areas in the country. They lived on Beckett CT south of Cal Lutheran and were TOHS Lancers. Very close community. Everyone over 21 goes into that bar. Almost NEVER a fight there. Clean, nice, safe when she was growing up in the 90s and 2000s. Her parents fled to ID this year due to CA insane taxes and laws.

That’s certainly not out of the range of possibilities.

If criminal charges can’t be brought against the media, then at least civil charges and lawsuits should be attempted.

But i think incitement wouldn’t be impossible to prove.

There’s a post on The_Donald’s reddit subreddit on this story that says a FOX News clip showed a couple of patrons outside, one wearing a Reagan/Bush tee shirt, another a shirt from the Black Rifle Coffee Company.

The lefties going apespit on Twitter blaming conservatives should keep their powder dry.”

Country music event, patrons in Reagan/bush tshirt & black rifle coffee co.

Someone comes in & shoots the place up, and the news doesn’t describe the perp.

Possible lefty perp ?

This sensible reporting from a site in India may give a clue on his motivation- a possible case of a spurned love interest? :

"A gentleman, who walked in through the front door, shot the girl that was right behind the counter," said Holden Harrah, who witnessed the shooting. -----https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/13-including-gunman-dead-in-mass-shooting-at-bar-in-california-us/319778

The dead don’t need prayers, only the living.

That makes sense - if you have zero Catholic in you.

It’s a college town and last night was “College Night”. Since college is now the equivalent of high school when I attended from ‘61 to ‘65, I’d say you didn’t lose.
