| He was probably going after his exgf. |
Do you have inside info? It’s tragic even if it’s not DV related. No need to speculate. Last I checked, they haven’t even released the shooter’s name, nor any of the victims. We have strong ties to that community. We lived there for a decade. This is devastating. We’re waiting on DD’s acceptance letter, and I wonder if this will affect her decision about where to attend college next year. I can’t imagine her being so far away from family nearby as a young adult dealing with a situation like this. My heart goes out to all the students and their families, as well as the area residents. They must be so worried and broken hearted. |
Are you new to mass shootings? Something like 80% of all mass shooters are either domestic abusers themselves or grew up in homes with heavy domestic violence, which usually means violence against women. PP has no inside information, s/he just knows this basic fact. Putin smiles indeed. Most of these freak shows are known to law enforcement and a good number of them are already guilty of offenses that make gun ownership a very bad idea. |
Police are reporting that the suspect is a 43 year old man unaffiliated with the university. |
No news or discussion coming from official channels just leads to rampant speculation and misinformation on unofficial channels. It's not like people aren't going to talk about it. |
| The shooter or his motivations are not important. The dorms at MSU are as safe as any dorm in the US. The student union is fairly open - as it should be- but we are now going to spend 48 hours talking about how to harden the campus more and how EL police and campus police were too busy issuing parking tickets and could have responded faster (even though they responded quickly) instead of talking about guns. And then we will move onto the college in your hometown or someone else’s. Instead of talking about guns. |
At my kid's college you have to swipe your student ID in order to get into most buildings on campus. But that said, locking down campuses doesn't solve the problem. We need to stop the shooters. ANYONE with even the slightest history of domestic violence or mental illness or anything else like it should be barred from buying or owning guns. |
2 weeks ago 5th Circuit affirmed the constitutional right to own and carry guns even in the case of people with domestic abuse restraining orders against them. This is a fall out from last year’s SCt case and, of course, guns. |
This campus shooting is sponsored by Samuel J. Alito. |
and dt’s legacy |
When you look at the environmental devastation in Oho and shootings like this, we are seeing the dystopian world the GOP wants for our country. It is simply astounding that a larger minority of the people of the United States WANT this. |
Where did you find the scanner? |
I blame the following: Lauren Boebert Marjorie Taylor Greene Mitch McConnell Charlie Kirk Tucker Carlson DeSantis Nothing makes them happier than this. They care about money and power but not children who get shot. In a week, sadly, we will be on to the next mass shooting. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but with all the laws saying mentally ill people can carry guns and open carry is a-ok, you have to wonder what’s the plan here? Create a traumatized society or something else? |
Dt's legacy? Alcohol abuse? |
Ah, yes. I am sure that the disgusting shooter was a big fan of theirs. |
