"Is POTUS going to get on TV and say he signed an order to confiscate all guns?"

Nah...he's got a different blood libel thing going on tonight.

They can try but according to another news source, that’s not the way this one went down.

“Officers also found a small fire in one of the homes on the 200 block of North Prospect, believed to be started by the gunman.”

He then left the house to shoot a bicyclist on the same street, ans started down another street shooting two women.

Buckley said the investigation of the police shooting has been turned over to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.

Hands up! Don't shoot! The cops were in a gun free zone, I guess.

I don’t think Colorado Springs is a gun free zone. Isn’t CO an open carry state?

Oh no. The shooter was probably a FReeper! Most people here HATE bicyclists. /s

I believe it is state law that another police agency has to investigate police shootings.

These incidents happen most frequently in states run by DemonKKKrats. Aside from the 'RAT-run cities here, Texas is largely free of these kinds of murders.

We all know this was done by a member of a protected class. Otherwise his description would be in the articles. I’ve done a search of the internet, lots of witness accounts, but never a description of the perp. My bet is it was an illegal alien. They are so thick in Colorado you can’t throw a stone without hitting one.

I think people need to realize that because of the breakdown of society and civil order under Obama and Democrats, we all need to be prepared to respond with force to an attack.

You are aware that Colorado Springs is pretty solidly red.

"protected class"

It seems to me that the concept of "protected classes" is a direct contradiction of the "equal protection" clause.

Was in Colorado Springs last week for a meeting. Wife and I were stunned by vast #’s of homeless /vagrants/, etc. Repeatedly we commented on just how many were loitering everywhere we went. Really thick in old tourist areas of Manitou Springs. Late in season for them too. Climate not conducive to living in box under bridge like in San Diego or Az. Our first thought was the Ill-advised pot laws was having its logical affect. I

I remember seeing a news report to that effect. Lots of people moving to Colorado for the weed and living in parks. Just listened to a news report with a guy who’d seen the suspect close up. Said he thought the guy looked like one of the homeless.
