Prayers for the wounded, and prayers for the families of those killed.
May God give the innocent deceased peace. He will deal with the shooter with the “reward” he so richly deserves.
I recalled the many threats by Islamists of hitting our schools
Of course not, if this was done by a foreigner, especially a Muslim, MSM rushes to hide all the facts.
If it was a white male, then we will know all about him right now.
Get every available LEO on the opposite side of the campus....walk into a dorm 1 mile away...chain the doors (premeditation) and start killing people like fish in a barrel
I think this is exactly what happened.
On CNN, a young woman student just said she was in the dorm when the shooting began. She said a lockdown was called and then a short while later, the school lifted the lockdown and declared all-clear.
After the lockdown was lifted, the second shooting occurred across campus.
So why was the first lockdown rescinded? Was someone in custody other than the person who later shot up the computer lab?
I tried to blow up the photo a little, but it's hard to say. I think I see some facial hair, but that's about it.
Bush to speak on this at 4:15PM.
I don't see that as a silver lining at all but an overreaction. I do see how turning universities into lock downed facilities is a step forward.
Sometimes bad things just happen to good people. By living our lives in a bunker type mentality, what sort of lives would we have?
This is probably dumb question, but that has never stopped me before. Does anyone know why they are carrying the people out like this and not fireman style over the shoulder? Wouldn't that be more efficient?
ping
very good point.
The Headline SHOULD read:
“32 Killed-28 Wounded In Liberal-Mandated “Gun-Free Zone”
Truth in headlines, after all...
I think you are exceedingly right.
I HOPE there’s a big wakeup. I’m not very optimistic.
God have mercy on us and help us prepare.
Thanks.
Also, there was the guy who blew himself up outside the football stadium at OSU.
It was OU.
I agree. I think so many people are shocked and become afraid in a situation like today and want to run and hide. I think we need to get some courage under our belt and start fighting back against these idiots like the people on Flight 93. We may lose our lives in the process, but we would likely do nothing anyhow.
If I had been there I don’t know what I would have done. If I had scene the guy shooting people not sure if I would have run and tried to jump on him to get the guns away from him, or try and hide to protect myself. I cannot say as a 35 year old woman. And I’m sure so many that were killed this morning never had a chance to even make that choice.
All I do know is this makes me want to get a gun! I’ve been wanting to get one for a long time now, but I told DH that it is time.
I dont think its an overreaction.
If theres more than one shooter, who knows what their agenda is?
I was thinking about my school. Some of these people are seriously unstable. I certainly wouldn’t want to walk into a classroom with them if they had a gun.
Only the former Boy Scouts would “Be Prepared”.
That sounds like an accurate and very sophisticated scenario.
