The shooter was a public utilities worker, he said.

Virginia Beach had a training for active shooters scheduled for this morning. I read about it while reading their twitter feed from before the shooting.

Is it Trump’s fault yet?

I saw quickly posted quotes yesterday from Kamala and Cory Booker ending with we have to have the courage to rush to vote to stop people from owning guns or this will happen again.

The implication is Trump, GOP and we made people get shot due to blocking legislation for 100% gun bans.

Using tragedy for Dems' cheap gain again.

So, do we have to sign up for the “more to follow”?

Will the more to follow appear in this thread, I somewhat sarcasticly declared dead at post 118, or somewhere else?

Don’t wish to appear snarky, just want to make sure I don’t miss the more to follow.

I bet it was a gun free zone.

And you would win that bet; it’s indeed a “gun-free” zone. I was at that complex (though a different building) in March.

I hate to break this to people, but the deep state does not need to orchestrate those events that are inevitable through random chance alone.


I’m with Peter on this. Take the case of Christopher Dorner (look him up) for instance ... “grievance” killer.

“...we have to have the courage to rush to vote to stop people from owning guns...”

Courage? *snicker*

Guns run out of bullets, which only go straight forward and are subject to the laws of gravity; i.e., they will only go so far until gravity catches up with them, and firing them makes lots of noise, thereby sounding an alarm.

Give a maniac some pool chlorine and ammonia, and leave an air vent unguarded, and he can quietly kill hundreds before anyone cops to it.

I can understand going for the doctor who performed the operation, or the shrink that convinced him to have it done. But what did a bunch of strangers, or at most co-workers, have to do with it? He had the chopadikoffahme performed. Nobody forced him. If he wasn’t sure, he could have said no.

Yeah, good point. Will we ever know? I doubt it.

This is the first I heard of spree killer Schochia Moseley, though it seems I saw a brief reference to the shooting and then nothing. I expected calls for gun control, but didn’t see, perhaps missed them.

The media, which is part of deep state helps to create the murders by pushing their agenda. They know they can cause certain people to kill. The killings are totally orchestrated by deep state. This is a result of the majority losing the freedom to govern themselves and not having a Christian gov’t.

Reports today from NBC say the murderer had submitted his resignation earlier Friday. The City rep said they knew of no disciplinary action the murderer was on or about to be on. I wonder what he wrote on his computer? I guess we’ll never know. The FBI will keep that sealed up.

Just to be clear, I am not saying the deep state or similar entities could not orchestrate events to their benefit, but what seems more likely to me is that most of the events just happen by random chance and they are ready to exploit them. As to whether the population is “primed” for violence by drugs or other stimuli, that seems self-evident and it’s not by any means a problem confined to either the U.S. or this continent.

But on a planet with seven billion people, or even in a nation of 350 million, there is bound to be a certain amount of random and seemingly mindless violence, simply because a known percentage of the population are mentally ill. The “solution” if one can be found is to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, but as seen in Japan recently, also knives, or access to cockpits of planes (as with the Germanwings disaster) ... at some point the inevitability of this will become obvious to anyone, just take your own worst impulses and multiply by the factor that mental illness produces (assuming we are not that way ourselves).

Perhaps one deterrent might be better training for security guards (where there are any) and managers of all workplaces to become better able to spot trouble at an early enough stage that casualties can be either avoided or cut down to smaller numbers. We have probably all worked some place where a co-worker had a reputation for being a bit “off” and perhaps better monitoring of critical situations when that kind of co-worker is placed under added stress that could trigger an attack. Maybe I am too optimistic. These events are very sad and yet they keep repeating several times a year it seems to me.
