Still no pic of the “hockey-style mask”?
I know what a goalie mask looks like. Wonder what the mask looked like that they shooter wore?

CNN reports a man entered the mall via Macy’s and headed for the mall where he began firing as many as 60 shots. Witnesses say he was wearing a white mask similar to that seen in the movie “V For Vendetta” and body armor.

3 Dead In Mall Shooting Near Portland, Oregon

That was the second time that day some clown wearing a Guy Fawkes mask committed an act of violence. The first was in Lansing where Hot Dog vendor Clint Tarver identified the man overturning tables to be wearing the Fawkes mask.

Reports say that Adam Lanza was also wearing a mask but I've seen no description of it.

Roommate of Oregon mall shooter called tip line

The court documents, which are related to a search warrant obtained early Wednesday, state that Roberts spent the night before the shooting at the Portland home of his 24-year-old friend Sean Cates.

Thank you. Guy Fawkes mask nothing like a hockey mask. These MSM reporters. Epic failures and agenda driven arm of the Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party.

That was plenty of information for any sober roomy to:

1- Secure his weapon
2- Call the cops

Roomy should have recognized HIS LIFE was at risk, once the perp declared the need for gun.

This isn’t something you let slide over some perverted sense of loyalty!

The MSM is consistently mucking stories up. However, our drive to know everything and form opinions immediately does not help. We make fun of the MSM, but look how many statements by FReepers are wrong as the story unfolds. Look at the absurd conspiracy theories and links to the same.

Crazy people are crazy. At some point, we may be better off simply allowing the story to unfold and let the investigators do their investigation. These stories are so hopelessly tainted that the final report/conclusions provoke conspiracy theories based on the same erroneous reporting that we make fun of. The actual report based on the facts becomes an afterthought. The conspiracy theorists keep the facts they want to and discard the rest. They will be on the thread about the final report and nothing will deter them. Rinse and repeat.

Just my .02 and perhaps this is the unavoidable new age of media thanks to the internet.

That's nothing new.

People used to swing from trees based on rumors and conspiracy theories.

Human nature never changes.
