7 dead, 7 wounded in Santa Barbara shooting rampage

Holy shit. Not really the time to talk about what a great guy his kid was and blame the guns.

Talk about a clueless statement. He completely embarrassed himself.

EDIT: My mistake. I thought the man speaking was the father of the perpetrator. Seems I've embarrassed myself instead. My apologies to the father. My apologies to y'all. Since others have pointed out my error, I won't hide from my mistake and delete the post. I'll just own up to my screw-up.

 

He is talking about a person named Chris being a great guy. That is his son.

That is also not the person who did the killing.

We all know you're an idiot who would get a boner off telling a grief-stricken father how he should act and what he should say so it conforms to your political talking points. It's unnecessary for you to come on here and prove this to us.

 

He killed three of his victims with a knife. Must have been the semi-automatic kind.

 

Watching the videos it's hard for me to believe that he's not gay.

 

I just wasted time watching a couple of his earlier videos and, must say, I had a similar impression. Something about all the obsessive whining about not being able to get laid felt like bullshit, like he was putting on an act. Very weird.

Regardless, he comes off as a completely repellent worm even if I didn't now know he's a mass murderer. He was tooling around in a shiny new BMW, bragging about how expensive his clothes and sunglasses are, with a director daddy that takes him to Hunger Game premieres with the celebs, yet incessantly whining about how awful everyone's been to him.

 

Wrong. But this is the most clueless and embarrassing post I've seen here in awhile. Could you please explain why you think it was a bad time for grieving father to mention that his murdered son was a great guy?

 

My bad. I misunderstood that to be the father of the perpetrator. Don't know why I thought that but that's what I was thinking. My bad.

 

You're right. I misunderstood and thought that was the Hollywood director/father of the guy who did the killings. My bad.

 

If this is true, the Santa Barbara police have some explaining to do.

I have a feeling this will turn out to be bullshit. But, if not, hoo boy.

 

Interesting. I don't totally get that. He just seemed disconnected. Were he gay, I doubt he'd have such a fixation on women. I thought he seemed terribly straight, just with no idea what to do about it.

I couldn't place more than a quarter of these and then it was usually only a vague, Oh, yeah, that happened, right...?
