Over half are in prison for drug offenses, or non-violent property crimes, and a good number of people have been in prison since before the crime rate dropped thanks to mandatory minimums and 3 strikes laws.

The camera man kept on recorded and didn't run. He then laid the camera down. lol The lady being interviewed acted like she knew what was going to happen. Staged. So everyone died besides the lady being interviewed? Waiting for her side of the story after she finishes reading the script and pockets the $$$ for going along.

I don't know but it takes the whole apologist theme that permeates C-D to a whole new level doesn't it?

As I recall, the Colorado theatre shooter was wearing armour and had his apartment boobie trapped. That guy had no intention of dying, at least not that night.

Whacking two people, and shooting a 3rd, on-camera, no less, sounds pretty ****ing thuggish to me.

Exactly. Call this nutjob any name in the book. All apply. Are we becoming so politically correct that we need to watch out for what we call a guy who murders people now???

Well well, what did I tell y'all.

Ta da, a manifesto by the shooter.

So utterly predictable.

Should I be worrying about the people next door? We've been neighbors for five years now. They are retired, and they were sitting outside before, but you never know. They might just go get some guns and blow me away one day as I walk to my car. He was a mailman, too. Double Whammy Black AND postal. I better go lock my door.

I'm just a bit surprised on how no one around there saw him stand so close to the reporter and camera man...usually there are people around watching the interview...i guess it was early in the morning or something? he was standing so close without no one noticing.

I'm surprised he didn't shoot it out with the police to the death.

No joke! I'm a white male and my wife is black. We've been together since 1993. There's no telling when she'll snap!

My sister is white and her husband is black! They've been together since 1978, but you never do know, do you? I sit here every night waiting for the call.

And their daughter...well, talk about internal conflict. She sometimes beats herself up. Then she threatens to call the police on herself.
