Mass shooting on campus in Oregon

Don't be an asshole. Get off your ass and start a hashtag.

 

Yeah, they do.

So what, to use your word, makes them "cowards"?

As in "too cowardly" to shoot up an NRA office?

 

Oregon sheriff handling massacre fought the White House on gun control after Newtown

 

Classic.

 

Those situations are always predictable and never spontaneously happen.

 

Where criminals are looking to shoot unsuspecting cops? I suspect those would be, yeah, rare.

I think cops would be safer and so would citizens. I think the gun, in the hand of mankind, is frankly that unsafe at this point. They just don't do us much good, and they do mostly bad.

I'm not anti-cop. I think cops, at this point, are trained for action movies and given a weapon just in case one breaks out. It's a bad model. And it trickles down, too.

 

Suicide is the ultimate act of cowardice. And so is taking others with you.

 

A surprise armed attack against unarmed college students in a school is pretty much the definition of shooting fish in barrel. Like the cowardly hunters who shoot herbivores with high powered firearms from a distance while they with a tree stand and bait animals.

 

Suicide in all cases?

 

I find it interesting that there seems to be no urgency for the media to identify the shooter. Does no one really want to know who did it and what his motive was?

 

Guess they're waiting to notify the family?

Douglas County Sheriff: 10 dead, 7 injured in Roseburg shooting

The 20-year-old suspect in the shooting is believed to be a local Oregon man with a family in the area, a federal law enforcement official said.

Authorities were investigating whether the gunman, who is believed to have some connection to the school, specifically targeted victims, rather than engaging in random gunfire.

 

I thought it was strange, too. Maybe media should always wait 24 hours to identify. I'm tired of these assholes being celebrities. I'm pretty convinced there's s copycat component to this.
