The 'Mass-Shooting In The US' thread

[rjs246]

How many consecutive pages can you all argue about the use of a single word? Jesus farging christ. Get a hobby.

[Munson]

Stop being a message board terrorist.

Nothing will prevent the lone gunman in the U.S.  Nothing.  Spy all you want, cc everyone in the world who could possibly care, whatever.  A dude with a gun killing dozens is as American as apple pie.

I'll admit most times it's 99% unpreventable, but in this case were people witnessed his anti-american rants and reported it to thier superiors, were messages were intercepted, it seems it could have been prevented. I feel one of the reasons nothing was done is because of the heat and bad press that would have came from a left leaning media. People don't want to overstep the boundry of political correctness.

[mpmcgraw]

Yeah I agree.

Its as if Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer pulled the trigger themselves.

LMFAO.

Give it a farging rest already.

Summary:

- An icehole with a zesty life joins the Army.
- Shockingly his life doesn't get any better.
- The dude is Muslim and decides that his particular flavor of absurd mumbo jumbo is more important that his duties in the Army.
- Dude's life continues to suck and he rants and rants and rants and no one does anything about, probably because just like every other icehole on a soapbox, eventually normal people just tuned him out because no one gives a shtein about a ranting lunatic with a boring zesty life and nothing better to do.
- Dude snaps and has access to guns.
- Idiots spend the next several weeks talking about peripheral issues in an effort to further their own previously held beliefs about the world.

The dude was a whack job. Doesn't matter what religion he was or what his job was or whether you label him a terrorist or a mass murderer or a farging beauty queen. Now he's paralyzed and we'll have to hear about him for months if not years giving you idiots something else to rant about.

Joy.

Haha! You just prove my point. Give it a rest, joke about it, forget it.

A man with an extensive criminal past — whose 95-year prison sentence was commuted in Arkansas nearly a decade ago — was being sought Sunday as a "person of interest" in a deadly ambush on four police officers who were gunned down inside a coffee shop.

Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer told reporters that Maurice Clemmons, 37, was one of several people investigators want to talk to and that he could not be called a suspect at this point.

In a news release, the sheriff's office said Clemmons has an extensive violent criminal history from Arkansas, including aggravated robbery and theft. Clemmons also recently was arrested and charged in Pierce County in Washington state for third-degree assault on a police officer, and second-degree rape of a child.

In 1989, Clemmons, then 17, was convicted in Little Rock for aggravated robbery. He was paroled in 2000 after then-Gov. Mike Huckabee commuted Clemmons' 95-year prison sentence. Huckabee, who was criticized during his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 for the number of clemencies and commutations he granted, cited Clemmons' age at the time of the sentence.

After his release from prison, Clemmons violated his parole and was returned to prison in July 2001. He was released March 18, 2004, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper.

The four officers were with the 100-member police department of Lakewood, which adjoins the unincorporated area of Parkland, where the shootings took place. The city identified the victims as Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39; Ronald Owens, 37; Tina Griswold, 40; and Greg Richards 42.

Sad story about the 4 officers getting executed in a coffee shop in Washington state.

Guy was in prison most of adult life, should have and would have stayed there if not for Huckabee. If's it's proven he did it, he should be executed.

In recent months, Clemmons has displayed increasingly erratic behavior, the Seattle Times reported. In May, he punched a sheriff's deputy in the face, the paper said.

In another incident, he had relatives undress, telling them families need to be "naked for at least five minutes on Sunday," the newspaper said, citing a sheriff's department incident report.

Clemmons also believed he was Jesus and could fly, a deputy wrote, based on conversations with family members.

And now he's dead, so I guess we'll never know. Unless of course he resurrects. That would be bad ass.

Yay!! St. Louis on the map!

We got about 6 inches of snow last night, which is a ton for St. Louis.  Roads are jammed, people run off the road, etc.  So this guy was really motivated to pop some caps in asses.....
