Dude, where have you been? Everybody from Gore to the NRA has been trying to blame video games for almost 3 decades now.

Ah, gotcha.

Personally I blame the hippity hop these kids are listening to nowadays. First time I ever heard Lil Wayne I wanted to shoot someone, because it was bad.

Update.

I read something about health workers maybe? (mental health services from Fox...)

More FBI coming in. CNN talking heads are saying this looks like terrorism (domestic or international). Checking house in Redding. That used to be country. Don't know about now.
Man and woman BGs wacked in SUV. This is not good.

so like doctors & nurses?

uh oh right wingers, you guys might be on the hook for this one as well. Looks like some more people fed to much rhetoric on obamacare and took action.

or some liberals tired of all the people with mental health issues committing these mass shootings so they decided to cull their numbers.

either way it just looks like another day of americans killing americans.

Rick Serano wrote:The lead gunman connected to the mass shooting is believed to be a U.S. citizen, according to a federal law enforcement source speaking on condition of anonymity.

The source added that links to international terrorism are still on the table, however, as the assailants could have been encouraged by a foreign terror group.

You really ought to give your US Hate a rest. Go make some cocoa and have a cookie.

The same as the "assault style rifles and handguns"; scary words designed to provoke an emotional response rather than having any actual meaning behind them.

I'm having a nice glass of Merlot right now. I don't hate the US, I spent 20 years defending it. It's just sad that so many americans are sacrificed on the altar of the second amendment. where something so violent happens and no one knows if it's just americans being americans, or a foreign threat.

TactiCOOL clothing.

Multiple sources from multiple agencies identified one of the three attackers at the resource center to NBC News as Syed Farook. No other information was available, but a knowledgeable source said another member of the trio is believed to be Farook's brother.

it's all in your imagination, have a glass of wine and chill.

CNN is saying one of the suspects was at the holiday party and a dispute broke out, the suspect left the party and came back with people.

Since one of the shooters was named Syed Farook, I take we're assuming he was simply attempting to rob a nearby Chase bank?

Was this confirmed? I heard that name elsewhere but could not find a reputable source?

Kinda what I had figured, but Allah bin Muslim would have been a bit easier for everybody. But hey, here's hoping it's not another case of Islamic terrorism! Because honestly, if it is, or when it happens basically, all sorts of rights are gonna get thrown out the door, again, for the rest of us normal folk.

Building a secret cabin in the Frank Church sounds so much better every day. Plus for whatever reason Idaho has a disproportionate amount of good-looking women from what I've seen.

Seems like the SBPD are being really stingy with the details.

I don't blame them, they are not sure they're done yet.

Unlike the media, they probably have to actually fact-check information before releasing it.

Know what else didn't occur to them? Airplanes. Digital Signatures. Gay Marriage. Lethal injection. Television. Voting via computers instead of a paper ballot.

Do you know what DID occur to them? The fact that things would and did change over time. So no, Psienesis, your thesis is not valid anywhere outside Democrat party talking points.

right things have changed, and it's time the second amendment changed to fit the times.

Certainly a valid position to hold. All you need is 2/3 Congress to propose and vote "yea" on it and 3/4 State Legislatures to ratify it.

That will totally happen with a lot of the republicans in the pocket of the NRA

Can "why do you hate america" be a bingo square?

What's going on? Why such events became too frequent?
