It should be “Lee” or “Wayne.”
James, a member of Black Bloc, was merely venting. The innocents who were murdered were of a different race.
Too old.
How many of them ever left like they promised years ago? I’ve never seen one of them post how great it is in their new country.

Occupy Wall Street. This is a very heartfelt song, that is meant to inspire love and peace. through all that ...
What’s odd is the police didn’t find his mom before she woke up and heard the news. He must be not talking at all, or heavily sedated and asleep.
No how about the background check which is instituted in VA since the VA Tech shooting. It works.
Sounds like he might be a white hispanic like Zimmerman.
Ask me about tomorrow’s Power Ball numbers! ;)
Yes they are. It is not done deliberately, but still it happens. Typical video game: Shoot people to get points. Shoot more people, get more points.
Now add to that the violent rap music that many young people listen to.
Now add to that the "I'm being persecuted" mentality so common today.
It's not guns. There were roughly as many guns in the population back in the 1950's. This never happened back in the 1950's.
Something has to be done to address this problem. It will take some hard thinking by our leaders. But I'm guessing they'll take the easy way out: blame guns.
Too funny!

The Blame game will start soon:
First they will Blame Guns
Then they will blame Video Games
Then they will Blame “Lack of security”
Then they will blame the Tea Party
Then they will blame whites
Then they will blame Christians...
They will blame everyone but the lone nut.
Never mind that if two or three audience members were carrying that this would have ended quickly or may never have happened if the guy knew the likelihood of an armed audience.
hate to break it to you but there isnt much that she could have done, notifying the police would have done little. The mentally ill have rights.
“It absolutely drives me crazy (or perhaps, crazier) to see FReepers making assumptions when something like this happens, in order to fit their pet theories, particularly about Islamic terrorism.”
I second that. There is no room for ditto heads. Irrational thought is dangerous whether left or right. People need to realize that their perceptions bias and formulate the truth as they see it. In this time of turmoil, everyone needs to keep a level head and not fall into the blind posse mentality.
Don’t become an emotionally manipulated puppet! Anger clouds the clear thinking, causes us to surrender our individual authority to be manipulated, and blinds us from truth no matter the side we have selected.
We as a society today are falling into the same trap that made the Germans blindly follow their leader into justifying atrocities.
