WOW! The reporters are trying to pressure the people in charge into saying they used AR15s

Good for the Captain, who refused to call the weapons anything but long guns.

This is rich!

It's definitely a coordinated attack, however, it isn't the MO of recent ISIS attacks which are multiple locations timed to occur together. I dunno... it just doesn't feel BIG ENOUGH. It seems too low profile to be an ISIS/Terrorist attack. I sure hope I'm right, otherwise we are definitely war bound.

Yes, 7,100/31.8 Mil = a rate of 22.3. The corresponding homicide rate for American Blacks. What is so odd about it? Where do you live? It's says Chicago, so you should know.

This attack was planned, carried out quickly, stealth, and had a swift get away. Sounds like a terrorist attack to me.

RIP to those who died in the shooting. Prayers for their families.

That being said, has Trump, Carson, or any of the other GOPers tweeted out yet that the victims were at fault because they didn't have a gun to protect themselves yet?

I believe any type of situation like this is a terrorist attack.

Cool, I am waiting to see who the NRA blames on this.....I already saw "gun free zones" on the first page.

Are you nuts? How many mass shootings have we had (352 this year)? How many have they had. Even if their population is roughly 1/5th of ours?
