Maybe he thought he was protecting whomever supplied the sidearms to him? Just a thought?????1

Thanks for the links.

On the Savage program, a caller is talking about a Pakistani student, who filmed the incident on his cell phone...........

Had you heard this?

Thinking of all the videos of the attacks around the world on the internet.

these are some really stupid questions being asked at this presser

I didn't even bother watching. I turned off Fox News and the other press conference because of the stupidity quotient in the press gaggle.

<<<”Incidentally, the photos show a lot of sherrif’s vehicles, which means that a big part of that LE presence you are noting was drawn from the surrounding county. Just point of information as to how a small town can muster that much force.”>>>

Good point. We have a tendency to expect the cavalry and delta force to magically appear.

“If this guy was here on a student visa, State would have taken prints from two of his fingers during the app process.”

That’s right. It would also mean that even if the creep was unrecognizable from the neck up, the authorities would have known his id from those fingerprints.

I can reach around the back of my head, can’t you?

good point. This entire disaster/crime doesn't pass the smell test.

I heard a student on Fox News state that the gunman chained the doors/

If true, that is organized thought. In the world of mass and serial murders, organized killers plan their acts.

Nope- the info about the doors being chained was released by the police at both news conerences. They said the shooter chained the doors.

I may be mistaken- but I don’t think the school ever went on offical lockdown.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong?

Re CNN: I switched to CNN when O’Reilly came on...Paula Zahn is REALLY over the top trying to stoke the “anger” about the notification. She’s not simply asking questions about what happened and when, she is pushing “anger” bigtime... Emotion-based agenda journalism.

MSNBC now reporting that the murderer was a Chinese national in the U.S. for less than a year on a student visa.

Oh.....no...

The girlfriend looks like it was a diversion to get the police over there so he could attack the college. Doubting there was any connection other than people in dorm thinking it was a domestic dispute. More than likely he planned this out completely.

let’s hope so, let’s hope if he does have that video - he gets it to the media. if the FBI gets it, we will never see it or know of its existence.

Quote “—— I keep hearing people discuss it as the worst SHOOTING in US history. Don’t know why, maybe cause libs are so predictable, but very soon they’ll be out demanding tougher gun control, and the killings will only get worse”

Are you for real? So it might be the SECOND worst? You make no sense at all. Yeesh.
