About the closest black shooter to the usual template was the Navy Yard guy, and his was more of a case of being crazy than it being a racial issue.

Agree with you on John Muhammad and Wayne Williams.

"What’s the ratio of females to males at this school, 20-1? Perhaps this guy refused to take his seat as a second class citizen in new America."

I don't know how much you follow crazy loser internet memes, but what you described is literally the apparent motive. Sexless jobless "beta" male declares war on alpha males who get women, and the women who denied him.

This is happening because the media and our “Dear Leader” our promoting it by giving it so much attention.

It is called the “Copycat Effect” and it is well known.

There’s no street fight going on here. Some innocent people were killed. I realize you’re indirectly defending Donald Trump’s crudeness and grossness, but that’s not at issue here.

What is the problem is that a number of perfectly innocent people were killed, and there are some people here who appear to believe that they deserved it because they lived in Oregon and are therefore joke-bait.

I liked when he found out there’s a State Police office across the street from the college.

I don’t think there were mass shootings like this back in the 1950s.

At Poe Elementary school in Houston in the 50s a man detonated a suitcase bomb on the playground killing several school personnel and at least three children. It seemed weird, because I had assumed this stuff started with Charles Whitman, but I guess that's not the case.

We had one of those shootings around here in Western PA about 6 years ago by a nutcase fitting that description, though he wasn’t jobless. He actually had worked at the same place as a good friend of mine.

WND:

A male suspect in his early 20s has reportedly shot and killed at least 15 people and injured 20 at a community college in Roseburg, Oregon, police confirmed Thursday.

“Law enforcement was on scene and had the shooter neutralized,” Douglas County Fire Marshal Ray Shoufler told CNN.

Officials said the first call to police came in at 10:37 a.m. PST.

The school, Umpqua Community College, has 3,300 full-time students and 16,000 part-time students, NBC News reported. It was established in 1964 and is located roughly 180 miles south of Portland.

“I turned around. I heard active shooter and I didn’t need to be told twice,” student Larry Howell told NBC News. “Everybody is reaching out to one another and checking on everyone, we don’t know which one of our colleagues are down. We heard on the scanners that two of them didn’t make it on their way to the hospital.”

Umpqua Community College is a gun-free zone.

“Possession, use, or threatened use of firearms (including but not limited to BB guns, air guns, water pistols, and paint guns) ammunition, explosives, dangerous chemicals, or any other objects as weapons on college property, except as expressly authorized by law or college regulations, is prohibited,” CBS Seattle reported.

“It’s extremely concerning and sad,” said Endi Hartigan, spokeswoman for the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission, the network reported.

Students, faculty, and staff have been transferred to the Douglas County Fairgrounds located nearby, the sheriff’s office said.

The White House confirmed President Obama was briefed on the shooting.

Being a blowhard probably does make them feel powerful. I think that’s part of it, but there’s also a huge current of callousness and even downright cruelty that has somehow swept over everybody. The left probably started it in its pursuit of utopia (”you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs”) but the attitude has spread everywhere.

Excerpted from http://seattle.cbslocal.com/2015/10/01/oregon-community-college-shooting/
The community college is a gun-free campus.

“Possession, use, or threatened use of firearms (including but not limited to BB guns, air guns, water pistols, and paint guns) ammunition, explosives, dangerous chemicals, or any other objects as weapons on college property, except as expressly authorized by law or college regulations, is prohibited,” the college’s security policy states.

Joe Olson, former president of the college, told The Associated Press the school has only one security officer on duty at a time, and that person isn’t armed.

This information suggests the school policies and practices appear to have begged for an armed wacko to come in and murder.

It is a plague and there’s no value to it. It drives away good, knowledgeable local commentators (who are repulsed by it and afraid to post here because they might be attacked) and makes us look like vicious freaks to the rest of the world.

Obama might have been one of the freaks online telling him last night to “Do it” I dont know what is worse, the actual act of this deranged individual, or the fact that he went online, told people that he was going to do it, and others telling him to “Do it” and rooting him on. We have always had whack jobs in this country, but when you add whack jobs going online and interacting with other whack jobs that is a bad combo

Like I said before one thing the vast majority of mass shooters have in common. They are crazied homosexuals. There just happens to be more white people in America than black so the majority of shooters will be white. Blacks normally kill each other, and one pays any attention to it. Chicago is a prime example.
