    Gun control in the US will lower the number of spree killings, but crime of other types will rise, as existing career criminals (who won't turn in their guns) will be emboldened to attack, knowing the average citizen & small business will not have guns to defend themselves.

    This also wasn't a spree killing. It was a targeted murder of 2 people. If this guy couldn't have obtained a gun, he could have killed at least one of the victims, perhaps both, with a different weapon.

    If the guns go away, mass killings will be done with explosives. Same idiots, different methodology.

    It takes a lot more work to blow someone up than to shoot him/her. I own a gun, but imo all guns should be banned, and if caught with a gun the penalty should be super harsh.

    A can of gas and .. . fuck it, i'm not gonna share, just saying that it's easier to do stuff with stuff lying around the garage than it is to get and use a gun. guns are for killing people one at a time, they are not weapons of mass destruction.

    Have they reported a drill for tv reporters getting shot going on at or near the same time as this yet?

    I spent an hour or two on this yesterday and that was more than enough to see this for what it was.

    If these poor folks actually died and the shooting was for real one can bet they thought they were taking part in a drill.

    9/11- NORAD testing preparedness for hijacked planes crashing into buildings. On 9/12 a bio warfare exercise was planned for NYC and it's headquarters was building 7. (Which is why so many FEMA people were on the scene instantly.)

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit...ember_11,_2001


    Madrid bombings 2004- drill ended the day before actual bombings.

    http://www.nato.int/docu/pr/2004/p04-022e.htm


    London train bombings in 2005- Exercise the day before to test preparedness for bombs going off in underground trains.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...incidence.html



    Aurora Colorado Theater Shooting- On the morning of the shooting a drill was going on in nearby Parker Colorado at Rocky Mountain Vista College to test a theater shooting. In an interview with the college newspaper the Dean of the school said the coincidence was astonishing. He went on and on about it and resigned soon after.

    Sandy Hook- FEMA conducting an active school shooter drill in Bridgeport Connecticut. 18 miles away from Newtown.

    http://www.ct.gov/demhs/ical/eventDe...C6C9CD83CDC9C7

    Boston Marathon bombings- Active shooter drill WAS to take place called "Operation Urban Shield". The drill involved backpack bombs and how to cope with the people after the backpack bomb went off.

    I'm not sure what you're getting at with these drills; are you saying that they do the drills and then record footage using crisis actors?

    Went back and found links in case people think I'm pulling that off of something that they deem nonreputable.

    BTW, I searched on youtube for Alison Parker wdbj7, and previous to yesterday's news there was only two short videos that were uploaded a couple of weeks ago.

    I would have thought that a news anchor who has been in the job for years would have had more videos dating way back.

    The thread on 4 about this has some doubters too, even tho the majority of people still buy the official story without question.

    supposedly the shooter posted his own video on his facebook
    feel like it has to be fake -- this is just to demented
    video looks fake as hell
    she took the first few bullets well, managing to turn and run, do we know if he then executed her or what?
    If anyone has watched both videos, I don't understand how he is able to walk up behind the camera man and hang out there without no one noticing ? He even pulls out the gun behind the cameraman and then puts it back. Just seems odd no one noticed his presence.

    She just turned 24. Also from what I understand she was a reporter, not a news anchor.

    It's odd because her twitter account dates back to May 2014 where, funnily enough, her first tweet is of herself with the cameraman.

    My point is that if she's been in the job since at least May 2014, then you'd think there would be more than just two videos which have been uploaded on youtube in the past two weeks.

    Another thing which has been trending for some time with these msm gunman stories, is the manifesto which seems to be a standard thing nowadays.

    It's one thing when you think certain events might have some conspiracy related issues... It's a whole other unstable, retarded mess when you think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy.

    Every post in this thread talking about how she briefly ran away, or how the lady didn't see the gun when he held it up the first time and attributing those factors to this somehow being fake is speculative retardation at its worst.

    Until you've actually been in terrifying situations or have witnessed shit like this first hand (not watched on TV or the movies), where the completely unexpected happens, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. It's been seriously painful reading through this thread, almost as equally painful as it has been reading comments on the press releases related to this story.

    About half of what I read is actually saying these two deserved to be killed. It's a very sad state of affairs we find ourselves in today. Who knows, maybe people have always been this fucked up in their beliefs and it's just now being exposed because of the internet, but holy Hell it sucks seeing it.

    The truth of the matter is that the victims would actually be able to defend themselves in that scenario.

    Vegas. Which of my list of events do you think contained some sort of conspiracy related issues?

    Also what exactly do you mean when you say "some conspiracy related issues." Are you saying that people plan half the event and left the other parts to chance?

    I honestly don't care if people believe or don't believe, as long as it doesn't drive them to the point of thinking only governments can own guns.

    Maybe in some situations, but highly doubtful in this one.

    They were all completely taken by surprise. I don't care how much training any of them might have hypothetically had, even if all three were armed I very much doubt the outcome would have been any different. None of them would have been able to pull out a weapon fast enough to have stopped this maniac. Even the woman facing him wouldn't have been able to react in time. She might have been able to get some shots off 5-10 seconds after the first couple shots were fired, but IMO the majority of the damage would have already been done. Maybe he wouldn't have gotten away had she been able to fire on him, but maybe he would have turned on her again and there would have been 3 murders, not 2. Again, the chances for most people to remain calm enough to pull a gun and get some accurate shots off in that situation are minimal at best. Nerves and adrenaline are a bitch, especially for some 50-60 year old woman that would never expect something like that to unfold.

    Like I said above, everyone is different, and until you've been in a situation where your life is threatened and your adrenaline spikes in a millisecond you have no idea how you would react. Doubtful any of those three, or most people for that matter, would have had the ability to react in a manner that would have changed the outcome.

    I think you misunderstood what I was trying to imply. If this guy didn't have a gun, and had to resort to using a knife/bat/etc., the victims would have at least a semblance of a chance to defend themselves (even if taken by surprise). A gun is practically impossible to defend against; you simply have to pray the guy misses.
