A gunman who witnesses say was wearing camouflage and a white plastic mask opened fire in a shopping mall near Portland, Ore., in a rampage that left three dead, including the shooter, and multiple wounded, police said.

Authorities say police "neutralized" the gunman but have yet to elaborate on how he died.

Witnesses described a harrowing scene, as the gunman appeared to be dressed in body armor while firing off an estimated 60 shots from a semi-automatic rifle. One witness told KPTV that the gunman ran past her and her boyfriend and "had the look of death in his eyes."

In that one, it turned out that it was merely a tactical vest and could have been ended by a single shot from a citizen carrying.

Sounds like this was a similar case.

That is why you put two rounds on center mass, and if the perp doesn't immediately stop and drop, you move your aim up just a little bit to follow up with one to the center of the head.

Is it a coincidence that we are in the middle of Chanukah?

Yeah, probably.

Yeah, I also have had experience with pot and have been sober for a looooong time. I feel that it has affected my memomry but little else.

I think that marijuana triggers schizophrenia in those who have mental sensitivity. The one black girl who flipped out in the classroom on that youtube video seems like a similar case. I really is strange because the high school video James Holmes and the Aurora massacre James Holmes look like two different people.

Tin foil hat alert!: The Dark Knight theater shooting has ‘false flag’ written all over it. Now this. I wonder how many psychiatrists are actively engaged in fomenting these attacks. Whatever it takes to garner support for abolishing the 2nd Amendment. They don’t care.

No information on the gunman. It shouldn’t take this long.
Something smells here.

Isn’t that the “holiday” where they have the “special holiday candle holder”?

From a witness at the scene:

**Anderson thought about her boyfriend, she said. “How much I f—king love him, how much I wish he was there. He’s played a lot of Call of Duty and has a lot of knowledge about guns and what to do in a tight spot.”**

“He’s not exactly a crack shot is he?”

At least he didn’t miss the roof of his mouth and what passed for brains located directly above it.

Has the MSM decided he’s a right-wing extremist yet?

We’ve had

9/11 in NYC
3/11 in Madrid, Spain.

And we now have 12/11 in Portland, OR! What is up with that?

3/11 was the Tohoku quake in Japan.

Elevens are just trouble!

Maybe the plot was hatched at a 7-11!

emain a mystery to us all,” the district said in a statement.

When all else fails, play the race card:

From the costume to his age and ethnicity, Roberts fit the mold of who FBI profilers expected the shooter to be.”Its clear the majority [of shooters] are white males, but we can’t say anything statistical about that,” O’Toole said, pointing to the Virginia Tech shooting, which was perpetrated by a Korean, and the Red Lake shooting, where the gunman was Native American.
Nevertheless, she acknowledged the preponderance of whites among the list of mass killers.
“I think it’s a question that needs to be put out there,” O’Toole said

Many assumptions in this thread, but I know from personal experience that disturbed people who smoke pot (or drink for that matter) can act and appear psychotic.

"...However I also have to add that during my time of use I never wanted to do what these guys did...."

Of what value is a "self-assessment"?

Let’s not forget Colin Ferguson, the LIRR shooter, black West Indian.

Few get this right.

Marijuana causes psychosis in one form or another. It creates paranoia and attacks the central nervous system. Some people appear more affected than others, but it is a very harmful psychedelic drug.
