7 dead in drive-by shootings in Santa Barbara area
Fox ^ | 5/24/2014

Posted on 05/24/2014 3:31:52 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

A nighttime drive-by shooting in a student enclave next to the University of California, Santa Barbara left seven people dead -- including a suspect -- and several wounded, authorities said.

The gunfire broke out around 9:30 p.m. Friday in the Isla Vista neighborhood, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's office said. Spokeswoman Kelly Hoover told KEYT-TV a second suspect was detained.

The circumstances surrounding the shootings were not immediately clear, but the station said police cordoned off four crime scenes. They include a deli whose glass window was shattered.

A student told the station he saw shots fired from a BMW, fatally striking one woman and critically injuring another woman.

"I heard shots, scream, pain," Michael Vitak said. "All emotions. I hope she is going to be fine."

The station said a black BMW slammed into as many as two cars.

The shooting prompted officials to issue alerts urging people to stay indoors.

Isla Vista is known for parties, including an annual spring bash that turned into a violent blowout last month as young people clashed with police and tossed rocks and bottles. A university police officer and four deputies were injured and 130 people were arrested.

“He has posted a vid of a party at their home (3 years ago). There were GIRLS at his party.”

Oh, I didn’t realize that. He WAS sophisticated! /s

One concern I have as a father is that my sons, who are on the right path (so far), will run into some piece of human feces like this...

I can already see the MAIGgots and moms lookin’ for a little action high fivin’ each other this morning over this. “Yet another mass shooting. When will the carnage stop? We must add anti-gun law number 20,001 to finally bring an end to these horrific acts.” Like Ca doesn’t already have too many anti-gun laws, rules, regulations and requirement. Hmmm. Doesn’t look like the law agains murdering people worked either.

Prayers for dead and wounded.

He was behind the camera. I guess both of his parents (bio mother) do photography/directing. His mother belongs to a FB women for Obama group.

I wonder if all the fame and glam in the fam, caused his problems to be overlooked? The tapes he made, over and over, were about how lonely he was despite his good looks and his wealth.

I feel so terribly sad for his victims and their families.

I wonder if he was one of those kids who was always told by his parents how wonderful he was? He wasn't ugly, but he sure was not good looking. He seems to have only tried for the goddess sorority girls; perhaps he thought that the girls a few clicks below gorgeous were just not good enough for him...and the ones who rejected him had to pay.

Creepy, self-obsessed POS loser. Those poor innocent victims...thank God the cops responded pretty quickly.

Thank you. I’ve been looking at him in a vid from his stepmother’s show (french) Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. He is very awkward in that red carpet walk. Not as “confident” as he portrays himself in his selfie vids.

I wonder if all the glamor, money, fame in his parents life completely overshadowed the young man.
He had a video he had uploaded last month or so, which he had taken off, that was the inside of his “father’s house”.

Certainly has gotten the attention he wanted so badly. Horribly by killing 6 others and injuring 7 others. Those families, it pains my heart what they are going through.

Thailand under marshall law. Too bad your niece doesn’t attend
college up the coast a bit at Cal Poly, a better school than UCSB
and no drive-bys.

Perhaps the “hot blonds” he was always desiring, gave him no attention despite his wealthy and slightly famous family. Perhaps it was a self-fulfilling prophecy for him in the girl department?

Archived youtube done before the forums started deleting.

Just another white, southern, Obama hating, redneck Republican, drunk on cheap beer, trying to get rid of all the gays, blacks, Mexicans, and Jews so he can purify the race and control all the country’s wealth.

Or am I missing something here?

Actually, I was poking fun at the lack of indignation coming from the left, because he was one of “theirs”. I guess I should have used a sarcasm tag.

I may not be getting the story right, I looked at the youtube links, his picture, read this thread.

Simple, he should have been trying to go after Far East Asian women if that is his hangup.

Some people say, “oh, white guys don’t like to see white women say with Asians, Blacks” but it also works the opposite way, I don’t think some white women like to see a white guy with a “China Doll”.

Just my 2 cents.

My kids told me not to go to 4——, and I don’t.

You are much happier for that.
