Obama creates a government that ignores the law and does not enforce it equally. What happens when this has happened in the past?

People do it their own way.

Until all Governments (State & Fed) start respecting the law, and begin writing laws that respect the rights of the people, this will only get worse.

And it’s going to get a lot worse over the next 5 years.

We saw this stuff in the 90’s, but it will be worse this time.

Sounds as if it happened pre-security.

I am really suspicious of that manifesto.

While he was raised in LA, he went to college at Southern Utah University, aka “BYU South”, an ultraconservative school of mostly Mormons, with mandatory prayer and signed student pledges against drinking liquor. Located in a very rural area where there is no fun to be had.

He majored in Political Science, and minored in Psychology, and graduated.

Then in the Navy, he was in units not particularly known for their liberal views. Underwater port security, where if they aren’t supposed to be there, you kill them; and Riverine operations, aka “gunboats”, most likely in Iraq, people who also get shot at and shoot back a lot.

Then he went to the hyperliberal and corrupt LAPD, where he got into trouble, first for thumping a neo-Nazi in the police academy, and then for reporting another officer for stomping a schizophrenic with severe dementia.

Why does he not sound very liberal to me? But as a psychology student, he would know that whatever he wrote would be deeply embarrassing to whoever he mentioned, and that dumbass liberals would embrace it anyway, which the public would note.

Another liberal on drugs with a gun. Also another reason for the king to take our guns.

latest via link you put up is 3 dead

>>Two women have been pronounced dead, authorities said during a 9 a.m. news conference. One of the women is the wife of the suspect. The gunman is dead although it is not clear if he was shot or suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The gunman, according to a law enforcement source, is named David Matusiewicz. He was in his mid 40’s and has three children. He was in court for a child support modification hearing.

It said lobby, maybe there’s a part where you go in and there’s some space just outside of metal detector? I know I had jury duty once in MA and the metal detector is just before you go on but there may be a small section outside of it, and poss. it could have happened there?

In Wilmington, the screening used to be done right at the entrance. Don’t know now, as I haven’t been called to jury duty for years. One report says he was a security guard, which would explain how he had a gun.

Are we now going national with EVERY shooting? Chicago alone would take up the news every day.

I can’t believe that in the state of Delaware they allow guns inside courthouses. If only they were smart enough to have tougher gun control laws there.

“Are we now going national with EVERY shooting?”

I’ve said that since Ct. Unlike when Big Media quits after reporting only two or three hot car baby deaths a summer, they appear to have been given the green light to report ALL shootings, unless obviously done by “groups of youths” or in Chicago.

Who is David Matusiewicz?

Thought courthouses had the airport-style metal detectors. If Wilmington had one, how did this one get through?

But that’s a Gun-Free Zone . . ???

Why would you post that when this is a courthouse where there are trained and armed security people there?
