Have you or anyone heard if the killer was married, and did he have children?

Media being quiet about him...hummm must be more to the story...

oh never mind, he was exercising his white privilege. And probably felt dissed by the entire plant.

I have sat in these type of meetings. My god that’s horrifying. I never thought to be armed at work and we had some whackjobs terminated.

So - the “logical” response is for the Illinois legislature and the US Congress to pass egregious new laws and regulations and bans... because they will somehow protect the rest of us from criminals (who don’t care about laws).

"How was it possible for a felon to pass an FBI background check?"

Because the FBI was totally focused on Russian collusion in the 2016 election.

I wondered if one of the folks in the room was a Union rep. Or if the plant manager just rounded up a couple of big guys off the floor in case the fire-ee started swinging.

Amazing. He wasn’t legally allowed to kill five people, either.

>> On March 16, 2014, the shooter applied for a concealed carry permit. Once his felony conviction was discovered, the concealed carry permit was rejected, and his FOID card was revoked. <<

Ah, but a bunch of FReepers chime in whenever there's some legislation to restore voting rights to convicted felons. They say not ONLY is that a GOOD idea, we should make sure to restore gun rights to them as well. It's not "fair" to punish them for life after they did their time and "paid their debt to society" and were released back into the public to restart their lives. So let's promptly give this violent psychopath a .44 magnum and a voter ID card!

I agree with your post where the felony was related to violence, but not where it is a process crime...

Illinois will be paying big lawsuit payouts, I think.

No, they won't.

There is no redress available from our legal system for this kind of crime. And the victims are all still dead. The only aspect of justice available is that the perpetrator is also dead.

Note to company executives. When you are firing someone who is a member of the protected classes, or believed to have a violent temper, be sure to have armed guards present.

The concept of Civil Immunity says that no "civil servant" will be held responsible.

At best, the Illinois taxpayers would be on the hook. I can't say that I would shed too many tears for them, being Illinois.

I mentioned that in a previous post..and I agree he was probably trouble for years but a protected class.

I have mixed feelings about HR getting shot, Karma is a B*tch, they probably saved his job a few times....

You and I both know if there's some law on the books that non-violent felons get to have guns and vote, but violent felons can't, someone violent felon will sue get a lawyer to argue it violates equal protection laws and creates a group of second class citizens. Some liberal judge will agree and immediately strike down the "non-violent" clause.

That's how Willie Horton got to rape a woman in Massachuttes while on his "weekend furlough" from prison. Originally, the law Massachusetts passed said the "weekend furlough passes" only applied to NON violent convicts. Some liberal judge decided otherwise because that wasn't "fair".

Random thoughts on the Aurora, Illinois shooting.....

1) With his extensive police record, why was he hired by the Pratt Company in the first place? Diversity hire?

2) When the general area around the plant was on lockdown and it was thought the killer could be on the loose in the neighborhoods, I'll bet there were plenty of residents around there shaking in their boots and bemoaning the fact they didn't have a personal firearm in their homes for protection.

3) The perp's middle name was "Montez". Hmmm.....was he connected or related to with any illegals? There's more to this story than what we've heard so far.

4) If a white guy in a red cap had done the shooting, the cables and networks would be all over this heinous crime every hour, every day....in every way. But as soon as the perp was identified as a person of color....the crime suddenly began to get only slight, random notice from the MSM. In a day or two, this mass carnage will be relegated to the dust-bin of history.....except for those in the enemdia hell-bent on tying this all to Trump.
