'Active shooter' at University of Nevada-Las Vegas, with 'multiple victims'

[timbo]

Cigarette smoking is the cause of 480,000 deaths annually in the US.

So are hospitals and doctors.

I guess I was just pondering the state of higher education these days and how far we have fallen.

Yeah he does have a couple degrees lol

Watching LE update, the sheriff just said something about the horrors of seeing a table set up in the building so the students could play with Lego’s and then having to deal with this. Wtf?

I thought this was a college not elementary school.

Maybe you missed it but it’s UNLV. Legos are a popular major among liberal arts students.

A “40 minute rampage” and 3 victims.

He had a walker maybe?

 

[Varmint]

Look at the students getting a lesson on life in a police state.

There’s no time limit on law enforcement bravery.

As long as they make it home safe, that's what is important.

Being reported that shooter was armed with a handgun, had applied for a professor job at the school, didn’t get it, and shot staff members.

My Dad was one such victim back in 2003.

I miss the days when athletes would just play, singers would just sing, and actors who would just act.

What I find funny is that folks that have excelled in one area of life (usually entertainment) somehow believe it carries over to other areas (usually reserved for grown men/women). Hilarity and inadequacy mixed with a pinch of tragic comedy ensues.

Lebron is a big mouth piece of shit but why the F'K is anyone asking him about guns and shootings in the first place? If he wasn't 7 feet tall and good at basketball he would probably be a UPS driver at best, the media is the bigger problem, these sports reporters need to stick to talking about NBA not gun laws or social issues, these friggen reporters give these guys soap boxes to stand on asking them these types of questions.

 

[Roadglide]

I would love to see what he would score on an IQ test.

Ok, seems safe to talk about this one in corporate media now:

He is no Joe Juneau.

Please tell me he used a pistol brace that made it as powerful as an AR.

So was a beloved uncle of mine...

At the time we were shocked to learn how often it happens. It taught our whole family to not have a blind trust in the medical establishment as well as learning to be our own best advocates.

Nope , no way to spin this into an "Assault weapons " thing .
Memory holed in 3..2..1.

You underestimate the knee-jerk reflex of the gun grabbers:

Statement By Vice President Kamala Harris on the Shootings in Nevada and Texas | The White House

Every person in every community across America should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. But instead, our nation is being torn apart by the fear and trauma of this epidemic. Today, it was another campus of students terrorized while being told to RUN-HIDE-FIGHT as an active shooter...

www.whitehouse.gov

Quoting:
It does not have to be this way. Solutions do exist. Congress must make background checks universal, pass red flag laws, and renew the assault weapons ban.

Never mind that all three would be irrelevant for both murderers.

Again and again we have seen mental health behind these shootings. At one time we did accept in this country that some should not be allowed to live in public and were sent away to knit towels and pot holders. But that was cruel treatment and the institutions were closed and the insane was allowed to unleash their cruel treatment on the innocents of this country. And then our scumbag politicians show up not to say they were wrong about closing the institutions but to blame those who have nothing to do with any of it.

That's more of a Flexing on the Poors post.

I know some guys on LVMPD and NSP who are absolute savages.

He would be hanging off the back of a garbage truck. Cause he would be too stupid to drive one.

I understand your sentiment and i don't have a right answer but those facilities were horrendous to their charges as well.
