Comments on: Omaha Mall Massacre

Police Say 20-Year-Old Gunman Killed 8 People, Wounded 5 Others, Before Killing Himself

[rudy654-2009]

I have been doing actual research on this kind of violence, and I have to say that the causes are just so very elusive. It wasn''t that this individual didn''t have anyone in his corner, because obviously he did. So, why would he want to not cause any more problems for his family, but instead cause problems for people who had never done a thing to hurt him? Bizarre. But I just wish there was a way to see this in people so as to keep guns away from them. Up until this happened, he was a law abiding individual who had full rights to carry a weapon. Of course, he isn''t law abiding anymore, and its a shame that all these people are law abiding until they go over the edge.

SweetTender,

You have been anonomusly reported for an attempted thought crime. Show us your papers and then get ready for the re-education camps.

[tgdowd]

Yes, folks I am not kidding. I''ve have already had the Secret Service at my house for posts a few months ago expressing my rage at US foreign policies. I didn''t mean I would do anything my self, but apparently they thought I was a potential threat. They have already got a file on me and have done a hard drive forensics test on my computer, photographed my bedroom, and taken my fingerprints. I am not kidding. My anger and frustations still leads me to posting hate speech against the government though. They will never silence me.

[tgdowd]

I suggest you go hide. You''''ve been reported.

Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Procedures
Sec. 3056. Powers, authorities, and duties of United States Secret Service



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I never said I was going to attack the government myself, as I only suggest what the government deserves for it''s atrocities in other countries. I''m not planning on doing anything.

So you are being an overzealous Nazi. Get a life. You make commenting on here a lesson in fear and dread, and you take away from what little free speech we have left.

Furthermore, I have already had the Secret Service at my home for other comments reported by paranoid posters. The Secret Service knows I am no threat. When they arrived I merely told them what I thought about the US government''s terrible foreign policy and how guilty they are.

Oh please. Like your chances of being shot by some nutjob at the mall are greater than your chances of having your door broken down by the police on a no-knock raid with the wrong address.

This *** makes the big news just because of how unusual an event it is. The routine stuff that kills people every day doesn"t get reported.

Yes sweet tender, TheGateWay1 is right:

Yes you should never suggest violence at the War Criminal in Chief. The data mining will pick it up and they will start a file on you. I am serious, this is actually going on in this country. We have real fascists that are running the country.

If the American Sheeple allow a few more terms of the NeoCon Nightmare, you just may see plenty of US citizens in Gitmo-like prisons without trial, lawyer...

ilikecats1: Don''t kid yourself, it quit being a government by the people and for the people, a long time ago. As is evident when we can''t get 50% of the populace to vote in our presidential elections. Tells of the sad state of American politics.

Here is a good reason to be armed. Now this this video a guy is being attacked on a New York subway by a gang of girls no less.

I ride the train in a different state. I can tell you now that this b u l l s h i t does not on the trains around here.

Texans were armed in 1966, it''s part of their constitution. So I should have said that the Whitman incident proves that armed citizens can''t prevent a massacre, and sometimes all the armed citizens in Texas can''t stop a single criminal from killing them.

Which really is common sense to anyone who has actually fired a gun. Concealed weapons ( = handguns) are useless against a criminal shooting from concealment with a sniper rifle. There is no logical reason to think someone in a mall with a handgun (or even a rifle) could prevent a conceled killer from firing off dozens of shots before ANYONE realizes what is happening.

A killer who is willing to die has the enormous advantage of "getting the drop" on everyone. Possessing a gun won''t shield against the bullets he fires before anyone realizes what is happening.

[tgdowd]

If that is the case, then the gunmen did his duty.

Good night. The forum boobs seem to have found a warm grate and safely tucked into a bottle of cheap booze. We won"t hear more from them until the street sweepers come round.

I agree Cats, his mind was as sharp as a bowling ball and his literary skills made the illiterate ranting of a gutter snip seem like Ernest Hemmingway.

[gunsdontkil1]

its kinda funny everyone of u guys think guns are bad but if there were no guns u wouldn''t be free so stop crying over guns and cry over the people who raised the loser who killed the people i feel for the family but why talking bad about the guns its his parnets fault sounds like to me

[kindrox]

Ok GunFool, nice of you to come by and debate the important issues of our day. But time for you to run along. Southpark is on.

[kindrox]

* First of all, the percents corelated to the ostensible causes don''''t add up to 100%.*

Because it was not a complete list? Maybe he missed the one guy who slipped on a banana peel and died?

* The fact is that guns are the weapons of choice used in completed suicides. *

Japan has 2x the suicides of the USA. Are they using guns or banana peels?

[kindrox]

GunFool,

You are the one who said "ways you can defend . . without endangering any of them"

I just pointed out that is not true. And you still have not answered why the police carry guns if your laudry list of alternatives are so good.

[kindrox]

* It''''s been obvious for a long time that citizens carrying concealed weapons are often useless against a killer on a rampage. *

Moron. Texas did not pass a CHL law until 1995. By your logic, what we learned are that police are often useless against killers on a rampage. Wait, maybe that is true. I will keep my gun just in case.
