Does anyone else here open the news early in the morning and cringe each time this happens? I do.
Yes, hadn't even turned on the TV, and saw this here, very sad.

Could it be Islamic terrorism? Sure. But as someone who is currently getting *tons* of threats on Twitter by self-identifying white people simply for identifying myself as Jewish (this is a thing, by the way), it's impossible to ignore the rising tide of what is called the "alt-right" in America today. I remember the Atlanta lesbian bar bombing from childhood living fairly close by - there is more than enough hate in this world to go around.
Enough already. What is it going to take for you to wake up? It was just a matter of time that incidents like in Paris would come here.
That Texas officer who stopped a rifle armed assailant was a fluke. In the real world the spy with a handgun doesn't kill soldiers with rifles and body armor. He was supposed to lose and 99 out of 100 officers will lose that fight.
That's true but the officer outside should have taken more risk.
Yes he could die but could have saved a lot more inside had he thought what could happen if the gunman goes inside.
Cops should take more risk than just shooting from behind cover in situations like this where letting the gunman go is far greater danger.
He should have been stopped, period.
This is a case of bad guy with gun wins good guy with gun.
There were no cops in Paris but here, there was and was engaged in shooting and still the gunman (one single gunman) was able to go inside a club.
Horrible situation.
No blaming cops (except probably the one outside), just thinking if outcome would be less violent but if it's planned, probably outcome wouldn't be anything better.
It's sad that the officer outside engaged in shootout but couldn't kill/injure him before he entered inside.
A person with gun shooting at officers outside was able to go inside. That's bad. I know it's easy to be armchair judge but officer outside the club was not competent.
I'm sorry, exactly how many active shooters have you faced one-on-one with?
50 dead, another 53 injured.
One person with AR15.
AR15 clip holds 30 bullets in one magazine. I doubt he brought the big drum magazine that holds 100 bullets.
Did he reload like 5 times?
This is probably why they want to limit and track magazines with over 15 rounds.
