Thank God the police were there to stop it. NOT!
Being sarcastic! They almost never will and shouldn't be expected to but that's moon bat logic just the same.

2 dead, 5 wounded in California cafe shooting

Bookmarks Print 1 hr 16 mins agoSAN GABRIEL, Calif. – Masked gunmen opened fire inside a coffee shop, killing two men and wounding five others, police said Friday.

Officers who received a panic alarm call from the Coffee House cafe were headed there Thursday night when they were flagged down by several people who had been shot, police Sgt. Rene Hernandez said.

Witness said two men with bandanas over their faces entered the cafe and opened fire before fleeing, he said.

A man was declared dead at the scene and another person died at a hospital, Hernandez said.

Two other people were hospitalized in critical condition. Three others suffered wounds that were not considered life-threatening, including a man who was grazed by a bullet and declined hospital treatment, Hernandez said.

San Gabriel is about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

The only obvious solution is to ban guns and increase police and military presence throughout the country. We need police and military stationed within 10 seconds of every location public and private to prevent these types of despicable actions by criminals who also need more laws to make their actions more illegal.

If only the coffee shop were declared a Gun Free Zone, and there were laws on the books against murder.....

Lets keep disarming good citizens until this happens every minute of the day........that'll fix things.

When the full report comes out, there will be either long standing and known mental illness, drugs/drug money or turf or a woman's love involved.

That'll teach those Californians to sit around all day in a coffee shop and bitch about republicans while kissin their own asses for the social activism work they do.

Too bad there were no armed citizens to stop this thing.

Oh yeah, in the words of our shining turd of an AG "We really discourage self-help."

Sounds like a hit. It would be interesting to know exactly what happened and how fast it happened.

Or gang related; especially out in California

THat is silly! The real solution involves requiring all citizens to wear full body armor and helmets at all times.

it surprises me that you overlooked the obvious, we must call for a ban on bandanas, without the ability to cover their faces and conceal their identities, I'm guessing this would have never happened

Clearly cafe's are the real root of the evil - just sitting there waiting for violence to occur...

In fact any place with money of valuable goods should be closed to avoid enticing criminals...

If everyone would just stay in their appointed government housing unit, there would be no violent crime - only thought crime and we know how to handle that...

Time to outlaw caffeine.
