I think any minority in these times owns its weapons in an awareness that the police and courts was automatically favour their white opponent, and strategize accordingly. The alternative of "not owning any weapons" is not truly an option for them, and not one I would ask them to do as I am not in their position.

That story just keeps getting more disturbing.
Originally they said he had a gun, then a knife, and now it appears to have been an unopened multi-tool (a sort of American Swiss Army Knife)
It is especially distressing that this was a university police force. In my time, such forces saw their remit as doing their best to protect their charges from over-enthusiastic city police.

Yesterday's school shooting, yet another one with a domestic violence connection.
Rampaging through a small Northern California town, a gunman took aim on Tuesday at people at an elementary school and several other locations, killing at least four and wounding at least 10 before he was fatally shot by the police, the local sheriff’s office said.
There were at least seven separate shooting scenes in or near Rancho Tehama Reserve, an unincorporated community of about 1,500 people, Phil Johnston, assistant sheriff of Tehama County, told reporters. The gunman, later identified as Kevin Janson Neal, 44, entered the elementary school but was unable to get into the classrooms because school officials had heard gunshots outside the building and locked the doors, he said.

Fucking hell. to do that trick, you're supposed to use a dinky little saturday night special and a big telephone directory, Not a fucking 50 caliber Monstrosity that needs to be moved from place to place in a wheelbarrow, and a 200 page hardback. Its not the fucking cardboard that stops the bullet, it's the hundreds and hundreds of pages. I think it's very clear that they didn't do a trial run

There is a bit of hearsay from a friend of mine whose family live in Jacksonville. Apparently, they qualified for the football, so the whole town/city/local area, are pissed/drunk as fuck, and when that happens, they shoot guns. So, 8 traffic signals were brought down.
I love Florida.

Highlands Ranch is essentially adjacent to Columbine.
Aurora is about 15 miles north.Last edited by ursus arctos; 31-12-2017, 16:48.

I wouldn't draw any particular conclusions from that. Gun laws in Colorado may be lax, but I don't think they're especially so by US standards. Denver is a big city with a lot of poorly planned sprawl, and that's the kind of place where young men are more likely to be angry, alienated, and unnoticed, but lots of our cities are like that.

A judge on Friday ordered the Las Vegas Review-Journal and The Associated Press to destroy their copies of an autopsy report for an Oct. 1 mass shooting victim, siding with the privacy concerns of the victim’s widow.
