Shooting of the Week

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

Another shooting, this time at a HS in Maryland. 2 kids injured, one very seriously. The shooter was shot dead by a school cop. The shooter used a handgun and he was also a student at the school.

It appears that the critically wounded student was the shooter's X.

Well, imo, the big news is/was the Austin bomber. I always think back to the OK City bombing, and how the device was placed in front of the day care center. Sad that we can only hope that a shooter will have a handgun and there'll be someone willing to shoot him.

It appears that he blew himself up in his car after being confronted by the police.

Yeah, if we counted ex-lover killings, we'd be overwhelmed. But, in this case, we have a motive to blame.

Austin bomber Mark Anthony Conditt was part of Christian survivalist group that discussed 'dangerous' chemicals

Just for kicks, go to Google Images; do search for Mark Anthony Conditt. You'll find a lot like this one:

Just a troubled youth who needed some counselling, not a terrorist. In the words of the Austin Police Chief, Conditt's "confession" tape

"it is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his personal life that led him to this point," he said.

Conditt's bombing sounds like a hobby, similar to Cruz' saying he wanted to be a "professional school shooter."

It's become fashionable.

Só, who thinks there'll be another terrorist attack before another school shooting?

Oh well, just wait. Someone is bound to argue that if those students had been armed....
