It's amazing that Kash hasn't leaked any details before they are cleared for release to the public. And no pics of him standing around in a borrowed FBI jacket pretending to be in charge. |

At least we know it's a male in all black clothing with a mask and carrying a gun. |

Every cop that kills a shooter is a good guy with a gun. Every shooter that cowardly offs themselves when the cops arrive are killed by the specter of a good guy with a gun. |

Oh Honey, a college campus—especially urban ones with many buildings in the city off campus, fluid borders, 8k+ is not an elementary or high school campus. |

| Yes, student welcome centers welcome thousands of visitors each day. These centers often the student centers are unlocked during the day. |

Clearly you do NOT have college-aged children. I am a professor, and it is *impossible* to keep all doors on a college campus locked with entry on an individual basis. At my mid-sized university, you theoretically need an ID to get into buildings, but in the time between the end of class and the start of the next period, you literally have hundreds of students streaming into and exiting buildings within a 15-minute window. How do you enforce students entering one-by-one and not holding the door open for the kids behind them? How long do you think it would take to process hundreds of students to enter into each building multiple times per day? And how many students do you think *forget* their IDs or lose them on a regular basis? This is NOT an elementary, middle, or even school, with a secured building or small campus. You are talking about dozens of buildings, offices, labs, dorms, dining halls, athletic facilities, libraries, etc. |

Banging his girlfriend on a government jet most likely. |

Not exactly. First, we have a problem with wrongful shootings by cops, to the point where we've had national protests about it, in case you weren't paying attention to the last 30 years. Second, the cops at least have some training. It's the MAGA bozos who think because they have a gun they are now an action hero who will stop crime who are the problem. For all their guns, they prevent nothing. |

+100 I live in Georgetown, walk my dog around campus. My kids attend camps on the college campus. I walk into Dahlgren chapel in the center of campus to pray. It was the same at Boston college and e dry campus my son visited for sports recruiting, minus Yale which has to stay locked up because of high New Haven crime….but Hopkins we got in many buildings. |

Sadly, MAGA bozos probably shoot their guns 100x more than 90% of the police out there. Remember the female officer that thought her gun was her taser? |

CNN is reporting that the shooter was in his 30s.
If that's true, I am at a loss to speculate about a motive in this situation. Someone on this thread said a professor connected to the economics class was Jewish ... but, if that's what you're going to do, in my memory there is a still very serious orthodox Jewish community right up the road only a few miles away, complete with synagogue and Hebrew school. I don't think they've moved since I was there, even if it was 30 years ago. I agree with the speculation that the shooter must be white, since they're so far saying nothing about race. Maybe hate all liberals and smart people or something? Brown is well known to be one of the most liberal Ivies? Last time I checked? |

Which is exactly why I’ve come to accept and somewhat tolerate these shootings, because what I want more than anything is to abolish the second amendment. At the risk of sounding callous and cruel, I hope these shootings continue on right up until we as a culture decide to eliminate gun owning. Because if shootings become less frequent over time, we will lose a lot of the public sentiment and inertia we’ve built up to banning guns. So as perverse as it sounds, if you’re someone who wants to get rid of guns, you need to embrace these shootings as a necessary evil. The end goal is what’s important. No great movement in history is achieved without pain. The civil rights struggle and LGBTQIA rights struggle are the most recent examples. People died to achieve those victories, and ending gun ownership is no different. Unfortunately more people will need to die to achieve that goal. |
