    After listening to the dispatcher all night and can say as normal in America the folks who do the hardest jobs do not get paid enough. The way she kept track of the kaos last night and kept a calm demeanor was amazing. The amount of false and bad information coming in is staggering in these types of situations.

    First shot is homeland security I wonder where those guys are stationed, the second is from a classroom directly across from the hall where it started. My best friend daughter took it. My daughter was at her house and was not on campus.

    Wow missle miss, no idea where it hit and 400k a pop.

    A middle aged man of color brought a gun to a zero gun zone he had no business being and started hunting young adults. I see this getting pushed out of the news as a motive gets slow walked.

    Unvaxed teachers flag by union and then finger prints sent to the FBI

    Our food and water supplies under attack

    Fuel and electric under attack

    Air and rail travel increasingly unsafe.

    Deadly chemicals allowed to burn and no one down wind and stream warned EPA saying no worries

    Criminals going free and victims defending themselves going to jail

    Millions of illegal non English speaking unvetted ppl pouring over our border demanding our tax payers assistance.

    Cartels increasingly gaining ground in the USA as they have in Mexico

    China on a slow march

    I do not seem to remember Trumps mean tweets and admitted huge ego causing any of this.

    People are getting really pissed off. On the state and federal level, heck even local levels.

    The main problem in my humble opinion is the Government believes they are separate from the people, like they are their own lone standing entity. Acting on its own behalf like a giant, raging machine bent on increasing its power and money supplies. For that is the nature of man, so this is not surprising. We desperately need a reduction in government. A US citizen should not fear the government when they are protecting their own land, or exercising their freedoms in public.

    possible to like and dislike at the same time ?? ... this administration/dems/libs/Marxists (all one in the same) have sooo screwed up this country... I believe this is all part of the 'plan' ...

    from Saul Alinski .."Rules for radicals"

    1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
    2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
    3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
    4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
    5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
    6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
    7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
    8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
    9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
    10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
    11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
    12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
    13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

    also rules for communism/Marxisim ...

    1. Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial. Destroy their ruggedness.

    2. Get control of all means of publicity.

    3. Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and other trivialities.

    4. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

    5. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy.

    6. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

    7. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit and produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

    8. Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders, and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.

    9. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

    10. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the populace helpless.


    all this is happening NOW !! .... and that is FACT !! .... we are soooo screwed

    Really? The medical school I work at, id badge access through microchip scanner is required for all buildings not considered to be apart of a clinic or the main hospital for patient areas. All other buildings for students and employee only areas are locked down to badge access only 24/7. It is a prevention attempt to stop something like this from happening, at least to some extent. Sadly, it may be necessary at all universities for areas not open to the general public.

    Look at Americas love affair with violence. Just turn on Amazon Prime, Youtube, Netflix, cable tv...24/7 sex and violence=a society that loves violence. All this mass violence crap happening is not surprising. Poor food, poor exercise, weird socialization practices, lack of peer pressure, "live your truth", liars, social media....dude we are programming our people to be lunatics.

    “McRae has ties to Ewing Township, but hasn't lived in the area for several years, police said.

    Investigators indicated McRae has a history of mental illness, and officers told 911 dispatchers that they were called for a welfare check for him last week. “

    What the bet no one checked on him?

    Or someone called officers for the 500th time that week for a welfare check on someone and when they showed up no one was at home or didn't answer the door?

    I will be attending a conference at the campus like I do each year. Kellogg hall you can walk right in to the building. There is also a hotel and bar restaurant attached to that building. They don't even charge to park in the ramp.

    Congress' goal is to become multi millionaires while in office - hence Americas forever wars so the weapons manufacturers get the $$billion contracts and they give congress $millions in kickbacks who they got into power. how many in congress have shares in weapons manuf companies? Who cares about the country or its peope when they are your priorities. How else did Liz Cheneys net worth go from 2017 $7 mill to 2021 $44 million?

    To the media, any gun is large caliber, unless it's a police officer shooting a kid with an airsoft, pellet,.22, etc...
