Active shooter reported at Oregon college campus

[SideShow Bob]

I thought it was strange when listening to the news coverage how they kept speaking about the school being "locked down" and how they were busing the kids to a local church or something so they could be united with their families. It sounded strange for a college, especially a junior or community college, to keep talking about "kids". These students and victims were largely adults. Some over 60yrs old.

I'm sure the "kids" angle came from the media because the college just refers to them as students.

Not sure what "lock down" means to students who are not minors. I certainly understand that the campus was a crime scene and that people probably couldn't just get in their cars and drive away but they spoke about students being holed up for hours waiting to be told they could leave. Could they not just leave?

Also, being mostly adults, having everyone line up with hands raised, then searched, a wholesale violation of their fourth amendment rights ?
Just as the Aurora police did a couple of years back when they shut down an intersection on public roads and search everyone and their vehicles just because they had some information that a bank robber was supposedly in that area ?

I'm ready to do just about whatever the police ask for or even demand in that situation and sort it out later if I don't agree. I was mostly just wondering if adult students have options that children students do not.

These 'gun control' ideas from the left would have done nothing to address the issues in this shooting. Why should gun manufacturers be punished when nobody else could read the minds of those that misused the product?

Because its not about preventing shootings its about eroding rights.

But only the rights they feel aren't important/necessary in our advanced society.

The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.

Hearing the hoopla about this, yet another shooting, at yet another gun-free-zone, in some small town, USA, at XYZ location, blah blah blah, the antis jumping at the chance to get on their usual soapbox and say "look! It happened again! When are we ever going to have the discussion about common sense gun control?" Guess what? We have the conversation every single time this happens, and it's the same thing, a bunch of BS talk and no real answers. Background checks, they work, they keep criminals from purchasing guns from lawful sources- yet they still buy them from unlawful sources. "If only guns weren't available to criminals." There are laws making it so they shouldn't be, yet they still get their hands on them. Meth is illegal, yet it still is manufactured and sold in nearly every large town/city in America. Attacking the wrong side of the problem, yet again. So many on the left continually ignore the fact that you cannot avert every tragedy on earth. Bad things happen, it's a risk we take with living.

For note: the anti-gun lobby is not exactly anti-gun, they just want to pick and choose WHO has the guns. They will use people with guns to take away the guns from those they don't want to have guns, if they get their way. This rhetoric continues and it solves nothing. Of course I'm not providing any new info to any of you here, we all know this. Why is it that when some asshole goes and kills people, the first response of the left is to punish those who had nothing to do with it? Simple answer, they're morons.

You're giving them too much credit. They're not morons, they're evil. Hanlon's razor is a lie.

I gladly find myself corrected on this issue.
