Ongoing US Mass Shooting Thread

[Fire of the Phoenix]

These extreme pro lifers are really quite fascinating. They're willing to kill living people over a fetus but once the fetus is becomes a person, they couldn't care less what happens to them. Remember, these are largely the same people against universal heath care, welfare for poor people, most things Christ preached about, etc.

It's basically the most ####ed up thing ever.

[Senator Clay Davis]

They aren't pro-life and the term should be, well, aborted. They are anti-abortion. They also support the death penalty in overwhelming numbers. Anti-abortion, not pro-life. Most Evangelicals are very un-Christ like.

It's a small price to pay for freedom. I mean freedom for the people who don't get murdered by people exercising their freedom.

ResAlien, isn't CS where Focus on the Family is/used to be?

Good may he face the harshest punishment in prison. What a waste of oxygen

One police officer and two civilians killed, in addition to the wounded.
I would say that the GOP and Fox News encourage this type of terrorism with their constant lies about, and scapegoating of, Planned Parenthood, a 100% legal and legitimate women's health organization.
Unfortunately I checked out the Fox News online report. I would advise you not to read the comments section. It's far worse than even my cynical self could imagine.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The anti-abortion folks were initially trying to suggest this was a bank robbery that spilled over into the nearby Planned Parenthood facility. The denial and bubble they live in truly is dangerous, it's what allows them to think an act like this is courageous and justified. I'm very curious how bad it could get if Hillary wins the election.

An idiot GOP congressman steps right into it on CNN. This probably belongs in the US politics thread, but this mass shooting was politically inspired and I'm sure the shooter felt emboldened by the fascist rhetoric from the former party of Lincoln.

It's not even just your opinion, It is FACT!!! Any one Remember when Bill O'Riley always use to rant about George Tiller in the mid 90s. He would consistently rant about who he call "Tiller The Baby Killer" then what happened he was assasinated. ####ing O Reilly claimed it was a damn holy war to stand up to him. Then after he was murdered that damn yellow belly coward did a segment saying it's un american to be a vigilant and to take the law into your own hands. Then comtinued to say oitrages #### like the left was exploiting his death and he was just reporting facts at the time about Tiller that ended up being false.

Now he is doing the same yhing with yhe Black lives matter protesters. All year he has called them terrorists saying yhey try to kill police and paramedics. Then guess what 5 protestors have just been killed in a shooting.

People who work for Fox or even take Foxs portrayal of the news serious are a joke. Fox can eat a big fat bowl ...

Fox news is the reason I wish the Simpsons didn't exist even tho Im like a huge fan boy.

They vandalize, assasinate doctors and firebomb this places consistently. It is always some right wing nut job whipped into a frenzy by republicans or Fox news so called "Hosts". See george Tiller.

It's because they're trying to provoke people into violence, so they can sue them.

University of Chicago cancels all classes Monday due to credible threat of mass shooting

The colorado shooting....interesting to me to see how republicans play this one. If it was any other place they would be talking loud about needing more guns and this wouldn't happen if employee X was allowed to carry etc.

But it was an abortion facility (note: I know Planned Parenthood is far more than abortions. Far more). So they get painted into a corner...they can't say that these evil abortionists should be able to be armed to defend themselves. So you got crickets for quite some time before they started to comment on it. And when they comment on it they give lip service to a guy being a maniac and then go right to the selling body parts angle. Nothing about arming people or rushing shooters or anything else. Maniac and body part selling.

And that to me is what is wrong with much of American politics. The candidates don't actually have principles. Well they have one principle...say whatever needs to be said to get elected.

Hit the nail on the head.


Parts of that country are scary. We have family that live in Castle Pines, on south Denver. They are 46 mins from Colorado Springs, and Columbine is 5 min drive, and Aurora is 5-10 mins(hell we were down there when that happened).


I honestly worry about the safety of them.
