Ratwagon1600 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 News feeds down here are reporting 13 deceased and at least 20 injured. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-02/shooting-at-oregon-community-college/6821828 Sad news, thoughts and prayers to anyone affected by this.

dhp123166 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Violence is as American as apple pie. Mass shootings are a part of the landscape these days. I'm just glad the perp. is dead whether by his own hand or the police...doesn't matter. The spectre of trotting out a surviving suspect to be tried in a court of law is ridiculous. The crime support industry profits and the victims remain to relive their pain while the trial stretches out over time. It's a damn shame. 1 Link to comment

Laecaon Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Dont worry, it was a gun free zone. 5 Link to comment
VFR800 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yep,in a place where firearms are now so prevalent and not going to be changing from such in any hurry,the anti-gun lobby is not really going to win. Link to comment
HRH Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 As much as I'm a law-abiding citizen (expect for speed limits) and I own quite a few guns, if this sort of thing continues happening, I don't see any alternative for law makers but to consider gun control of some sort. There is clearly something wrong with the number of "not-normal" people who can find or buy weapons legally and then go do something terrible with them. I love my 2nd amendment, but we need a better system that keeps guns out of people hands who are going to misuse them. That, and we need more people carrying guns on a regular basis so they can shoot fucks like that before they get on with their rampage. 1 Link to comment
paradime Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Do we even know if anyone here has been effected by this? If not, maybe we should hold off a few hours before making light of 13 dead, and how fucked up America is. Just a fucking thought guys. 3 Link to comment
VFR800 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Right now would be THE right time to discuss how fucked up the situation is. More talking and less inaction on it is what's keeping this as a status quo. Link to comment
HRH Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I appreciate the right to discuss, but I'm with paradime on this one. Lots of Oregon ratsuners, don't need to be adding flames to the fire. 2 Link to comment
