No someone needed to take the heat off the "prisoner" exchange. Buy 1 get 5.
I guess they didn't have signage about firearm restrictions.

This is what I'm thinking. Were there this many scandals while Bush was in office? Did we have this many shootings and tragedies? Or is our uber connected world able to get info out easier/better?

Yet another liberal "utopia" experiencing a "gun violence" cannot imagine why such a coddling "tolerant" society could be having these problems. (PS no they are not more than usual, but the media will jump on any negative firearms related story after all they have their orders)

Highest suicide too. If only someone could broker a meeting.

And there you have it. Report it regularly and it will skew the audience's perception of reality and frequency.

Reports are another student stopped the killer. I am very happy to hear that someone had the balls to fight back finally instead of passively letting the crazy killer keep hurting people until the police arrived.
Maced him while reloading, then tackled, and I think even choked him out.

I can see it now every dumbocrat that draws breath, "see magazine limits save lives"
I see it more as people realizing nothing and no one will save them but themselves, similar to what we have been seeing on airplanes. This is a good thing.

hmm, you think MAIG, that Mother something group, or even your average Democrat will see it that way? [shithitsfan]
ETA: even pepper spray is banned at my office... I can't be trusted with something that dangerous... [facepalm]

No, not at all, but I don't care what way they see it. I care that people are actually taking their lives into their own hands.

Jeez, what's with shootings near people I know? There was the CA one right near my sis, and this one was at my ex-GF's uni. *SMH*

Pretty sure the media won't be sensationalizing this. MDA will turn a deaf ear to this and when they are confronted with this they will stick their noses in the air and cover their ears. [facepalm]

Meis’s Facebook page “Likes” (https://www.facebook.com/jon.meis/likes) also reveal that Meis supports the National Rifle Association and numerous firearms and gear manufacturers and retailers, including AIM Surplus, GrabAGun.com, Kel-Tec, Kinetic Concealment, Mossberg, Savage, and Remington.
Not a bad line up of "likes" except for the Kel-Tec....

SPU shooting hero Jon Meis releases statement
http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/spu-shooting-hero-jon-meis-releases-statement/ngG9x/ (http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/spu-shooting-hero-jon-meis-releases-statement/ngG9x/)
The following is a statement from Jon Meis, the Seattle Pacific University student involved in the campus shooting on June 5. Jon is requesting privacy and has declined interviews.
To my brothers and sisters at Seattle Pacific University, and my brothers and sisters in Christ throughout the nation and the world,
Words cannot come close to expressing the tragedy that occurred this past week on our campus. Like everyone else, I would hear of these horrible events on the news, but go home knowing that it could never happen to us. On Thursday, my life changed. I was thrown into a life and death situation, and through God’s grace I was able to stop the attacker and walk away unharmed. As I try to return to a normal life in the aftermath of this horrible event, I pray above all things for strength for the victims and their families. While my experience left me in physical shock, I know that many people are dealing with much greater grief than I have experienced, and in honesty I probably would not be able to handle myself right now if I had personally known the victims.
I know that I am being hailed as a hero, and as many people have suggested I find this hard to accept. I am indeed a quiet and private individual; while I have imagined what it would be like to save a life I never believed I would be put in such a situation. It touches me truly and deeply to read online that parents are telling their children about me and telling them that real heroes do exist.
However, what I find most difficult about this situation is the devastating reality that a hero cannot come without tragedy. In the midst of this attention, we cannot ignore that a life was taken from us, ruthlessly and without justification or cause. Others were badly injured, and many more will carry this event with them the rest of their lives. Nonetheless, I would encourage that hate be met with love. When I came face to face with the attacker, God gave me the eyes to see that he was not a faceless monster, but a very sad and troubled young man. While I cannot at this time find it within me to forgive his crime, I truly desire that he will find the grace of God and the forgiveness of our community.
I would like to truly thank the responders who secured the building and the medical staff who looked after myself and those who were injured. After being in this situation myself, it is even harder to imagine what it would be like to have a job where one’s life is willingly put on the line every day. To our police, emergency responders, and armed forces, you have my greatest respect.
I am overwhelmed with the incredible generosity that has been showered upon me. It has been deeply touching to read the comments online and realize that my actions have had such a strikingly widespread effect. Moving forward, I am strongly requesting that any future donations be given to the victims through Seattle Pacific University.
I am grateful for the prayers and support coming from our home city and afar. In these next few days, weeks, and months, please continue to pray for everyone in the Seattle Pacific community. We serve a truly awesome God and I firmly believe that it is through Him alone that we will find the strength to heal from this tragedy.
Jon Meis
Student, Seattle Pacific University
Thank the Lord for the likes of Jon Meis and those that selflessly take action to save the lives of others.
His statement just goes to renew my faith in humanity once more... Well said good sir! Job well done! There are heroes out there, sometimes they are in the right place at the right time.
I saw on the news this morning that the shooter stopped taking his meds because he "wanted to feel the rage".
Sounds like we need some common sense psychotropic drug control.

I think we should bring back asylums Then they can't just "stop taking the meds".
