Not another one. WTF?

[KodiakFan24]

It's high time we ban killing people!

 

[Knicks]

Caught at church turning his life around

 

[jefftk]

Oh boy....

POLICE SOURCE: Shooter dressed in all black w AR-15 and vest and helmet. Cornered in bathroom by officers.

 

[CockedAndLocked]

If it bleeds it leads. The media makes some type of sick, perverted media heros out of these nut cases.

 

[joshh]

Cant happen:
"gun Free Zone"

i pray no one other than the shooter is injured but this shit is out of hand. time to look for some actual ways to secure our schools that may actually work.

 

[Dradian]

Oh boy....

we'll have to wait and see if its an AR. with the accuracy of american media...could be anything from a MSR to a 10/22

BREAKING NEWS: Reynolds HS shooter is dead, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office says

Eventually, these won't end well for us.

The anti's will get their way if these keep happening.

WTF is going on?

...time to look for some actual ways to secure our schools that may actually work.

Yeah, but these nut cases will go find other targets: school buses, public gatherings, etc.

On a side note: I don't understand why school buses don't have seat belts.

some simple changes can be made to make these shootings much more difficult.

I honestly think it is suicide by police. These pussies wont off themselves so they start taking out the innocent in gun-free zones knowing the police will take them out...eventually. Just enough time in that gun-free zone to bring the media into the situation then they will have their suicide note or manifesto published

Never could figure that one out...

 

[MA_Shooter]

Jesus, is there a full moon out?

 

[MrJones79]

CNN is reporting a "semi automatic" weapon was used. I think this is the new tactic. They are starting to go after all semi autos now as opposed to just ARs.

Didn't you know, your magically safer in a school bus.

 

[grombear]

Lots of reasons. Primary ones are that you can't get kids to keep them on and school buses are designed for safety without belts:

Given that our population continues to increase, I would expect the number and hence the frequency of such events to continue to increase, even though they are statistically insignificant events. This is one of the biggest problems I think that freedom advocates face - we need to find some way to sell the idea that these events don't really matter that much and shouldn't affect policy decisions. The problem is that this runs contrary to many people who have a "gut feeling" that there must be some solution. Sometimes you just can't fix crazy.

Seatbelts do not make school buses safer. Overall, travel on school bus is the safest way to travel - 40 times safer than riding in a car - with only a handful of deaths occurring to passengers on school buses every year.

And cost.

$50-$100 per seat? Yellow Paint and Flashy lights = Accident Free Zone?

They'd actually have to meet safety standards which would be nearly impossible to meet because that would require either super heavy duty seat frames or anchoring the belt to the frame through the floor and THAT would be expensive?

I dunno, take your pick or float your own guess.

Well, not to hijack the thread but....it's because in a crash the children (those that can) need to be able to get out of the bus without trying to disconnect the belt in a panic. The driver has a seat belt cutter and could conceivably cut himself away but could never help all 40 - 70 children in the event of a fire or some other terrible event.

You never can fix crazy. We used to have a method of keeping the crazies away from the general public, but then they did away with institutions. The pendulum has swung too far in the other direction -- we used to institutionalize too many people for mental illness and there were some people that were locked up that could have functioned OK in society. Now, we give too much leeway with a lot of people that are not fit to be a part of society, and then act all surprised when they do crazy shit like shoot up a movie theater or school, and we blame the inanimate object in their hands instead the person. Because it's mean to blame people for stuff.

That's the reason given by the bus driver's UNION, they want more people hired instead of seat belts.

I would imagine they're at least as likely to be injured in a roll over as injured in a fire, but who knows. It's all political.
