On Friday afternoon as news outlets were reporting on the next day’s one-year anniversary of the horror that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the latest chapter in school violence was unfolding at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado.

Eighty seconds after he entered the building, two students were injured, one fatally, and the gunmen dead by a self-inflicted gunshot.

you need to have Congress in session and antigun legislation in committee and ready to go to capitalize on the emotion and chaos in the aftemath.
That little savage would NOT have been so “willing to shoot anyone who stood in his way”, if the person standing in his way had a SHOTGUN pointing at him, IMO.
Perfect demonic possession.
