Remember- According to our intellectual betters, hate has only one source and one direction.
In this case, it seems to be more of a cultural snub based on a non-invite to the party and attempt to save face by killing the participants. My thoughts about it being gang based violence may be fanciful.

31 postings and maybe ONE showed compassion for the loss of life, those injured, and the families that will be impacted forever.
I am 100% for gun rights but I this shows how 'common place' this crap has become. We jump to the defend gun ownership, find blame for the perp (as we should), but ignore the victims.
I think that sucks. Just my 2 cents worth.
Yes, it does suck, but our hearts have become numb and hardened thanks to the actions of these demented losers. Subsequently, I am tired of being blamed as "part of the problem" in the country and mocked if we do offer sympathies to the victims. Only gun control zealots are allowed to express "true" sympathies.

We can't pass judgement yet, because the whole story isn't out in the open. My understanding is there was a domestic violence incident that occurred before the shooting. Usually, the initial reports are correct. Then come the speculations and opinions, which will distort our view of what really happened. Remember the average American reads at the 7th grade level.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Per Ardua ad Astra
I started this thread to point out the biased press coverage of the event.
I agree that we have become inured to the atrociousness of these occurrences.
Publicly declaring one's compassion for the bereaved after an event like this can often seem insincere, regardless of one's political leanings.
I think it's a given that almost everyone feels some sympathy for the grieving families.
As .455 says, it does feel that we, legal gun owners and shooting enthusiasts, bear the brunt of the blame for these incidents, and the left desperately wants to appear more compassionate than everyone else, and are willing to shed crocodile tears to achieve their goals.
There is definitely another future thread here worth exploring. Compassion, grief and false sympathies.

"The gun wrestled away from the man in Alhambra was a Cobray M11 9mm semi-automatic weapon according to a law enforcement official. This firearm is designed to take 30-round magazines that allow for rapid fire without having to frequently change magazines."
Who guessed that was going to be the weapon? What was his other gun, a Bryco?
