"...Somehow, I don’t see “not getting any” as being his motivation..."

Well, I guess nerds of america need to expound on this theory. (wow!)

I’m a newspaperman, and they showed me this thing. It had numerous attachments for the arm including a shotgun for blowing up bombs, and a sort of robot claw.

It never occured to me that it could be used to drag someone.

How sad! Thanks for posting that - I only heard a brief mention on TV news that he did research for MS. I think the press conference starts in a few minutes.

Oh man, this makes me mad that this kid did this to his own family, in addition to the families he harmed so deeply with his rampage.

There's one heck of an incredible story at the Denver Post of how an outgunned, outarmored female security guard was able to do what two male armed guards could not bring themselves to do. Her explanation at the end of why she was able to do what she did is just stunning! I reposted it over here.

Original article is here at: Guard calmly returned fire at church.

Just heard her name for the first time. Sounded like “Jeanine Assan”. (I’m certain that’s misspelled)

Actually, you’re right on target. In the most recent legislative session, the RAT controlled legislature passed a law, signed by RAT governor Strickland, which says that CO will no longer honor CCW permits from a state where the permit holder is not a resident. What this means is that CO no longer recognizes my FL non-resident permit.

Just how stupid is that? Maybe they will reverse it now. Thanks for your post.

What gets me is that churches are in the statute (of some states, like Georgia) as places where permit holders aren't allowed to carry. Excuse me...but where is the 'separation of church and state' doctrine here? Shouldn't it be left up to the individual church to decide whether their members can carry or not?

Pastor getting irritated at news droids stupid questions. " ... these are all people who worship here. These are not mercenaries who we hire ...."

"I was just asking God to steady me ..... I just knew what I had to do .... I was extremely weak, because I had just gotten off of a fast, but God strengthened me ..."

Hey single Christian Freepers! She's not married, but knows she will be someday.

If there is a common thread in a lot of these shootings it may be the frustration of a teenage/early 20s male with limited social skills who simply isn’t getting any, especially when you perceive that lots of other guys are.

Yes, others-enforced celibacy seems to be a common feature of the psychos.

She’s gonna be married sooner than later... I’d wager. Nice looking, polite, and won’t give her age.... Jeanne Assam. I’ll bet the Church is OVERWHELMED with marriage proposals by midnight

What a gal! She said she had been on a three-day fast, which was to end on Sunday, while praying and asking the Lord what he wanted her to do with her life. She was weak from the fasting, but when called upon by the Holy Spirit to go forth and end the slaughter, she says she received the power to do it.

What a testimony! It is Biblical in its details!!

We’re not talking disaffected, fat, pimply kid (like the Columbine loosers). This guy was 24 and a university student in OK.

A) we don't know that he wasn't a fat, disaffected, pimply kid (as if those are the only people who are experiencing "others-enforced celibacy")

B) He only appears to have been interested in university. Colorado Christian said that he had been in contact with them but then decided it was too expensive.
