Former US Marshal: Oregon Gunman Chose ‘Gun Free Facility’ with Umpqua Community College
breitbart ^ | 10/1/15 | ar hawkins

Posted on 10/01/2015 3:34:55 PM PDT by bestintxas

During an October 1 appearance on CNN’s Newroom, former US Marshal Art Roderick said the gunman at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College probably chose his target by knowing it was as gun free-zone and therefore “an easy target.”

Roderick’s exact words: “[The gunman] probably knew that the facility was a gun free facility, [which is] an easy target for these kinds of coward individuals. They know they’re not going to get any response unless they happen to run into security or a campus police officer.”

Roderick went on to explain that the key for investigators right now is ascertaining the gunman’s motive and figuring out how he got his weapon(s).

On August 2 Breitbart News reported that eight attacks with firearms in gun free zones in the last eight years resulted in the lost of 105 lives and the wounding of 150 others. Those attacks were on the Lafayette Grand Theater (July 23), Chattanooga (July 16), Fort Hood (April 2, 2014), DC Navy Yard (September 16, 2013), Sandy Hook Elementary (December 14, 2012), Aurora movie theater (July 12, 2012), Fort Hood (November 5, 2009), and Virginia Tech (April 16, 2007)

The problem is simple.
ILLITERACY!!

If the poor fool could only have been able to read English, this would not have happened. He would have understood that guns were not allowed on campus!
Join the fight to end illiteracy!!

I don’t think this could be a gun free zone under Oregon law but I guess you can advertise what you like.

CBS was in full gun control mode tonight. They ran at least three minutes of Obie's comments. They stated that Oregon is a concealed carry state and it is legal to carry those weapons on campus. Finally they went through a litany of measures without having the first idea as to whether any of those would have made a difference.

Predictable, but it was almost like the script had already been written.

So Toby Reynolds has a Facebook page that the police have taken down, and sanitized all of the trail of warnings he had given....I bet.

Look upthread for a sampling of his youtubes and some other very sick message board where he tells he’s going to do a shooting and posters are encouraging him. They should all be jailed.

Most mass shootings have been committed by liberals. Fort Hood has been the exception.

I think they were using the “French/European” model for “security guards” .... who are professionally trained to take down unruly elementary children.

Thanks, it’s the truth though isn’t it. What I love about Trump is he is making headway into these idiots. When he brags about getting blacks, Hispanics and liberals on his side, he isn’t lying. They ARE flocking to to him and that terrifies the establishment. You ever see these women? They dedicated an entire Youtube channel to supporting him...

There was a vet on OR saying he was in the vet center on campus and was carrying concealed. Was he in violation of the no-gun policy?
