I think you answered your own dilemma.
There are no words anymore. Planned, coordinated. Heartbroken for the families, the city and this nation.
He and I started to grow apart ten or twelve years ago. I think it happened around the time of Katrina, but it may have started earlier.
Now, all he talks about is race.
Guy's educated. Been a teacher his entire career. Makes good money.
The word "sad" doesn't do justice to how I feel about it.
I have a brother who’s also fallen into a racialist mindset. He’s also an Obama voting progressive. He and I haven’t been able to talk since 2008.
It’s kinda painful.
“...She replied, “ “You can say that because of ‘white privilege...”
How can they believe that? Affirmative Action has become extreme! Whole bureaucracies are filled with minorities while more educated and experienced Whites are passed over.
Blacks murder Whites at a rate nine times higher than the reverse. Privilege indeed!
they were raised right. It all starts at home.
Now how to get the message to the bureaucrats...
CBS saying shooter is down
It's poison. Soul poison.
I don't know what else to say, except I'm thankful that you're out there Windflier. You demonstrate how big a man can be.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
The terrorists who did this aren’t human.
“Code 6” called on radio? “Code 6” means stay out of the area.
Fox4 said injured, multiple gun shots. It’s 2:00am and I’m not sure what more they can say. I hope they take him alive.
The chief of police would have the most up to date info...the officer probably passed after the news conference concluded.
Cronkite and Rather are gone, they might have a chance.
I see that. I also know that I don’t like being lumped in to a category. I expect a stranger to do so, but not a friend. That’s part of what I admire about being conservative - we believe in personal responsibility. I feel we view people individually, unlike the left who like to lump people together, ie ‘it takes a village’, ‘social welfare’, ‘revolutions’ the whole thing. They tend to group people. I like to think we are individuals. But, I can’t surround myself with people who would betray a friendship for the sake of being part of the victim status.
Roger. I think the shooting came from the parking garage and the last active gunman was forced into the El Centro school, across the street.
In a video, it appeared that the gunman parked an SUV alongside the school, exited the vehicle and began engaging the police, killing one officer that had returned fire from behind a column, but unfortunately- the officer had exposed himself or herself to the gunman’s field of fire, and was subsequently killed at close range.
The gunman then ran around the building’s corner, running to the other end of the building, turned the corner and disappeared inside the school, winding up, on the second floor.
I agree with you, Golden Rule.
Reporter on Fox said they saw a military truck with what appears to be troops exit it earlier. I thought I was hearing things.
From my perspective, all you can do is remember the old days, and hope your friend does too.
Periscope person said sniper is dead. Not a terribly reliable source...
Other way around, he was run into the parking garage across the street. The video running around has him ambushing a cop on the east side of the El Centro school tower. I know from working in the area, the doors on that side of the school are usually locked by 8 to reduce access points. El Centro has already announced that everyone in the building got out and the shooter did not get access - which makes sense as the shooter would have had to run further to get to the next open door into the school than to run into the parking garage.
