Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
WTF with all the copy cats?
They see one, dude gets (in)famous, and decide to try it for themselves.
Not a copy cat, even judging by that article. Two LEO's and one civilian injured , one shooter, in public, near TAM? Sounds like a criminal shooting at police, so what is the perp copying?
And the only supplemental datum they can add about A&M is the Bush Library? Really?
What I haven't seen yet is who/why the other bystander was killed and another one injured. Also, who was the shooter (student or older resident)? It has been dang near twenty years since I lived there. The houses I am thinking of were all old and combo of student rentals and poorer residents (assuming I have the location right).
No kidding. Thanks for nothing, folks. A little time spent on the phone to the police MIGHT have had an effect.
Not necessarily, that's a very slippery slope. Do you really want sumdood down the block with an agenda calling the cops saying you're nuts and they come to your place to collect any guns until you prove you're sane?
The only other tidbit I heard was that the office was not there evict the guy, just to serve him with the summons to appear at the eviction hearing. I heard he was 2 months behind in rent.
Step father of the shooter said he was nuts, and he was not surprised, Said that he and his wife expected the shooter to come and kill them in their house.Way to keep quit about it.
Well, unless he gets the needle, I don't think the perp will have to worry about finding a place to live for the next 30 years or so.
That kind of bothers me that the police did not react in some way. But we all know unless you are a celebrity, the police will not protect you. I have been threatened and the police did absolutely nothing.As far as I know, he was not a student nor was the crime committed on campus. So why does the press call it Texas A&M instead of College Station or Bryan? We know why.Too many of these crazy's killing people. I don't look forward to the political debate. Means testing for gun ownership? Annual pyshological testing? Forced psychological testing or evaluation after someone "calls it in"?? Good boy letters to buy guns? A registry to know how mnay guns are owned by potential crazy's? Police knocking doors down at private homes to force testing?
