With the President speaking tomorrow is anyone shocked by this. That's all I've been hearing so far is that how appropriate the Presidents timing is. Yet another shooting that benefits the Presidents timeline perfectly.
Yeah I saw that a little while ago. Just what we needed another "school" shooting. Normally this wouldn't have even made anything but the local news but this will go nationwide.

One person shot, plus the perp by his own hand. Both expected to survive. I'm not sure I grasp why this is remarkable.
The Media will make it so.....Quote:

Yep, they're definitely over-hyping every gun related incident everywhere ... these people have some sort of hive mind.
See, it's not just us "noobs" that repost.[Wink][Wink]

A proper title for this might have prevented a repost.. le sigh.

Much better title than the other post. You get a silver star for not being a tard

I noticed. It was more of a "jk" hence the double wink

This! And Monkey wins today's overall prize for attacking the vague nature of the other post... [Beer]Quote:

I don't really care about this crap anymore. Reinforces my decision to CCW and I feel safe when in public. If others do not want to do the same, that's their choice.
This is a dupe by 1 minute.
I'm from ST.Louis and 2 people getting shot is nothing.. Timing is right though
I use to work in a max security prison, I won't say in what capacity. Just know, I'm not one of those people that "Failed the Physical" and become a prison guard or a rent a cop, because I want people to think I'm a badarse. My point is that I felt safer within the prison walls (with the possibility of getting knifed everyday) verses being in my own hood getting groceries. In the prison everyone was dangerous, outside of the prison you don't know who is dangerous.
Everyone, until proven otherwiseQuote:

Mods, please merge this with the main St.Louis Shooting thread. Thanks!
And this is yet again, one more reason why I'm glad my Fiancee no longer works in Financial Aid at a community college, in a military town (where a large percentage of the student population is military, quite a few with PTSD). She had several students who were stalking her or treating her badly.
On a somewhat related note, she told me last night though that when the weather gets a little warmer down here, she wants me to sign her up for her CCW class. We weren't even talking about firearms at the time, it was just a random thought she had. I'm so excited she is finally ready!
thanks for furthering the stereotype, dickQuote:

Furthering what stereotype?Quote:

The other, overstepped many boundaries (personal space, touching others without reason, sexual advances, etc) because he had PTSD. How do I know this? The president of the college told us this as we were reporting him for the last time on campus for stalking her, she said that she met with the student and he was clueless of the things he does that are inappropriate, and explained that he has PTSD (from what I don't know).
My reply probably wasn't warranted. Just because you are/were in the Mil doesn't mean you can't be an idiot. There is a stigma that I and a lot of us have now that we are all "ticking time bombs" and "PTSD ridden crazy lunitics" thanks to the mainstream media. It's really frustrating and it angers me, so that's why I replied the way I did.Quote:

Col.), Mom's father was AF for 32yrs (Ret. Lt. Col.)Quote:

My Fiancee (who teaches sociology) has had several of this type of student in her classes, and they have spoken up about why they still wear their uniforms. But the two that she's had problems with were extreme cases.
I merged them.Quote:
