“If the second suspect exists, the SOB is going down hard.”

Really? What does that mean? Notoriety? Lawyers climbing over each other to get the right to defend him?

“Going down hard” to me would mean his being beat t death with broomsticks over a period of days.

News guy talking to Meghan on FOX just said two kindergarten classes at the school with 17 kids in each - one class is unaccounted for.

D***mit! Megan Kelly just called this terrorism but not the kind done by jihadists! Why would she say #1 something she doesn’t know for sure #2 and infer domestic terrorism when she doesn’t know that as well! This gets smellier by the moment.

Here is their argument: “my friend’s kid was killed in a school shooting. He was a brilliant boy, so sweet, played ball, loved his puppy. He’d be alive today if that murderer had a knife.”

I come across plenty of conservative gun owners in IT. FWIW.

Nice of them to tell us.
Now we know for sure that it IS.

We’ll know why soon enough. One thing we’ll never know is why so many threads about this and other incidents here. My theory is that people consider it some kind of achievement starting a thread (two of those threads were started by the same person.) A thousand newspapers and TV stations will report it, why not a thread linking to every single one of them?

Absolutely correct. This once free and open society was held in check by our reverence for Biblical principles and restraints. What our society once was simply can no longer be because we have shaken our fist at God and said, “We dont’t want you!” And hence we get today, or the other day at the mall, or Columbine, or....

Right. Because women are just perfect and never, ever do anything wrong.

I am normally a lurker but this is impossible to take.
Are you serious? I mean, really? The guy killed children, lots of them! He is the vilest of evil and a possibly a total psychopath. This is nothing to do with the left or the right or women or men(except the gun-control thing that the left is going to misguidedly bring up). The system is Not anti-male.

You, Dear Sir, are a complete misogynist and need a great deal of self-examination.

Presser.

Got state police involved right away.

Every crack and crevice of school was checked by police.

Students and staff into staging area, then reunited with families.

No names given of deceased now.

Trying to locate shooter, search warrant activity, etc. scene is secure.

Fast and furious.
Someone wants to get our guns and they know what it will take to convince sheeple.

Yep. They need a certain amount of death to push their agenda. Eventually, the people will cry out "something must be done!"
They'll be standing right there with new regulations already printed up and ready to be signed.

So far, ALL the killers were patients of state funded psychiatrists. If this killer was, too, that says something.

“Washington officials saying it is not terrorism....BS!”

Sounds like Benghazi ver. 2.0.

Like the Batman Movie shooter. He did NOT have adequate funds to get that high-level hardware, including Level 2A Ballistic Armor. His entire dress-out cost anywhere from 10K to 20K.

Laz, that scumbag had a $100 "tactical" vest, not body armor.

I bet this (these?) perps had the same.

The libs whom I work with (which are unfortunately in the vast majority, since I work in IT), are now openly blaming me (and by extension any conservative) for this tragedy since I support the Second Amendment.

People like you are an active shooter's worst nightmare.

Just speculation, it seems the incident was targeted at a kindergarten classroom, and other reports say it’s a kindergarten classroom that’s unaccounted for. I suspect this is where most of the victims are. OMG.

Time out Laz. The Denver shooter didn’t have Level 2A Ballistic Armor. All he had was a tactical vest.

At least they learned that from columbine (I lived so close at the time the police lines were back to my street). At least they entered right away and did not wait. May have saved lives.....

Not only evil but a coward. Just how hard would it be to shoot kindergarten babies trapped in a classroom?
