If the perp is non-white, the lame-stream media will certainly have to make him a “white” . . . you know, “white” Pakistani, “white” Iranian, “white” Iraqi, “white” Hispanic, etc. so they can report the story with no bias.

Flashback to Drew Carey show. One of the main supporting characters was named Oswald Lee Harvey.

That’s a new one but still pretty funny!

One thing someone brought up on the radio this morning: today starts Ramadan.

Is this for real? A threat from the day before: http://i.imgur.com/b2UMI.jpg

July 20th is also the day Hiteler's generals tried to kill him.

“never let a crisis go to waste’

Don’t worry they won’t. This is a huge opportunity for the left to change the narrative which Obama was losing on business to gun control. Of course the politics of the shooters will be huge as to which way it goes, but it couldn’t have come at a better time for Zero.

DU got very giddy for a while after they discoved a “Jim Holmes” that was a member of the Colorado Tea Party; someone figured out he was way too old.

People were desperately trying to connect the VA Tech shooter to Islam for months.

Personally I hate when people jump to rash conclusions in the first few hours after something like this happens and this is why I try to withhold making rash conclusions and wait to see what comes out.

The same sort of thing happens whenever there is a train derailment, industrial explosion, car running into a crowd, a random shooting by some lone psycho; unfortunately some immediately knee jerk that it must have been a Muslim terrorist or an illegal and when it comes out that is wasn’t, some even seem disappointed. It’s almost as if some people are looking for the next 9-11 and are disappointed when it doesn’t happen. Quite frankly this sort of thing makes conservatives look bad. OTOH, the knee jerk reactions from the left and from the pop psychologists are just as bad.

At the end of the day, the families of the people who died or those who are seriously injured and their families probably don’t care one wit whether it was some lone nut or a “terrorist”. Motivation, politics, race, mental illness, drug use, religion…at the end of the day it probably doesn’t matter much to the dead, injured, traumatized and their families.

A San Diego woman who identified herself as James Holmes' mother told ABC News she had awoken unaware of the shooting and had not yet been contacted by authorities. She immediately expressed concern that her son may have been involved.

"You have the right person," she said, apparently speaking on gut instinct. "I need to call the police... I need to fly out to Colorado."

This mother, apparently aware of something terribly wrong with her son, must have had some insight if she "immediately express concern her son may be involved."

Had she heard him verbalize this kind of intent?

I’d guess history of mental illness.

That mere factual material. It won't stop the nutcases over there from pressing the false connection.

Actually, Fox News LA did report it that way. Police said they were hunting an Indian male and began a manhunt at a local mall

What no middle name?

FBI is slippin these days.

It was about 3 years before we knew Barrack Hussein Obama had a middle name. If his middle name was abdullah, you'd never know it.

Not saying it is, mind you.

The government loves to waste money so they should fund a study to find out what in the H3LL is going on with people, especially the men, in this country. Is it something in the water? Are they being programmed by movies, video games? Did the parents not whip their A$$ enough? What? It’s like an epidemic.
