That is chilling to listen to. I thought he was deemed mentally unfit for trial? The defense should be interesting to hear.

He should never have left the store alive in my opinion. SOB

I have been a customer at that store since I was a little kid and we used to stop after having lessons out at the Mesa Swim Club. My wife had her prescriptions filled at the pharmacy. There is definitely a non-zero probability that my family could have been directly involved, especially if he had chosen to attack later in the day. There are a lot of armed citizens in Boulder, but they may not be the population able to shop on a weekday afternoon. The perp shooting people in the parking lot while approaching the front door is why you train out to 100+ yards with your sidearm.

I arrived in the parking lot as everyone was running out the doors and right behind a string of police cars. Not knowing what was going on I watched for a couple minutes before deciding I probably shouldn't be hanging out..

Pulling in behond the first line of cop cars that arrived:



Cops lined up at the door going in:



Decided to leave after the armored truck arrived:

Between two employers, I worked in that mall for over a dozen years. Lived nearby even longer, so KS was just part of my routine for two decades. Moved to the hills several years before this incident but it still hit close. Haven't been in since, mostly due to proximity, but will shop there someday. Even if I was in the pool, doubt I'd have been selected for the jury after I filled out the questionnaire.

Stating that you support the precedent set by the United Airlines Flight 629 incident would probably not make you popular with the legal teams. John Gilbert Graham was executed a bit over 13 months from date of the 1955 bombing.

I have no problem calling this perp an islamic terrorist.

Make it federal and give him the needle.

I certainly wouldn't want to be on that jury. Three weeks ago, I got notice to report for jury duty and thought I might be in the pool for the KS shooting trial. Fortunately, it commenced sooner. I report Monday, and know there are several domestic violence cases being prosecuted. Much easier to digest.

I lived in Boulder for years and used to shop at the Table Mesa KS because it was the only decent sized grocery in town. I shopped there a week or so before the shooting, and often wonder how it might have gone down if I had been there, armed as I usually am. Now, I avoid GoogleVille, er Boulder, as if the plague resides there. Because, it does.
