Active shooter on Brown campus

Anonymous
The guy with the beer belly and limp.. he doesn’t seem to be carrying any guns. If he is the guy then what did he do with the weapons?

It doesn’t sound like they are ruling out the possibility, based on the latest statement. They just don’t have any evidence indicating that the shooter didn’t act alone.

The guns in the hotel room is strange, but they didn’t match the casings at the scene.


Yes, the guy in the hotel room was "effectively cleared" after forensic evidence wasn't a match to him. It sounds like the FBI ran out and detained him based on a tip (maybe it was someone at the hotel saying they saw a guy with guns there) and announced it, all excited, before actually checking things out.

That poor guy they blamed. The news reporters were in Wisconsin interviewing old classmates, getting information about him wrong, some right. What’s he supposed to do now? Scary for him because not everyone waits for the follow up that the police got the wrong guy.


Can that guy sue responsible parties for releasing his identify?

In that outfit he could be carrying several guns.

From cnn:
Revolver and a small Glock handgun found in hotel room of person detained in connection to shooting, sources say

From CNN's Chief Law Enforcement Analyst John Miller
A revolver and a small Glock handgun with a laser sight attached were found in the hotel room of the person detained in connection to the Brown University shooting, according to multiple federal law enforcement sources.

The person detained is a male, law enforcement sources say.

Authorities traced the person of interest to the hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island. According to the sources, law enforcement banged on the door ordering him to open up.

Once inside, they asked where the person had been that day and evening. He responded he was there in the hotel the whole time.



I guess we should ban revolvers


Why not? If you want to hunt, get a bow and arrows like a real man.
Yeah defend your family with a a bow and arrow.


How often are you needing to "defend" your family? Is this some made up hero fantasy you have? Aren't there other more productive ways you can help your family?


Be prepared.

It's like having insurance, but get trained too.


You think having guns is like having car or home insurance?

Well, at least gun ownership could come with licensing, insurance, inspection, registration, taxes, and all the similar requirements. Since they're similar and all, according to you.


Let's do the same for the 1st amendment.

Having a gun is for an infrequent emergency just like your regular insurance. If you can't see the parallel I don't know what to tell you.


Robust 1A helps prevent the infrequent emergencies.

But his cell phone pinged at the building at time of shooting. That’s what led FBI to the hotel.

Where did they get his cell phone number?

The reality is all schools have propped doors and piggybacking, so key access only does so much. Did it myself on college tours.


$70K a year and no security! I realize that this is something that is done but not something that should continue to be done. If The school knew this was a common thing and didn’t mar any attempts to mitigate it, then can be held responsible.


How much security would be required to 100 percent guarantee this type of thing could never happen?
The sky’s the limit. Don’t like 90k cost of attendance? Now let’s add another 30k per student for “security”.

Looking at the video of the man pacing in front of the building, it is almost like he is watching for someone to enter--a specific someone?

Still wonder if the professor--who was not there--was the target.

Also, the Pres of the university not know what class it was in, is quite troubling. Nothing to do with the shooting, but it is odd that she was not curious enough or cared enough to know that.

The video of him pacing, is not in front of the building where the shooting happened.

Student safety diesn't seem to be a priority for many institutions of higher learning, including Brown. More protective measures should be taken to keep students safe, and school administrators should be more aware of campus incidents and where they occur.

Brown, Rhode Island and Providence are some of the safest places in the entire USA. Their campus is one of the safest.

You cannot protect against a single nutjob like this, particularly on an urban campus.

We should be going after the guns and the root of the problem instead of quarterbacking and taking the focus from why and how we have crazies with guns shooting up kids (and adults) in America. It’s natural to think it wouldn’t happen at your school, your shopping mall, your place of business because you are so protected. You do this as protection- if you believe you can do everything to prevent this in terms of locks, cameras, etc—-you have lost the battle. You can’t, it’s the guns and the mental health and an administration and chat rooms that invite this violence.

And I’m not even a “liberal” or a “dem”.
