    From the article:

    On the its Twitter page, the school later said the shooting was between two individuals at about 12:31 p.m. "Danger has been mitigated. Situation under control," said the tweet.



    According to the Lone Star College website, weapons are not allowed on the campus. The school offers firearm safety courses through its Second Amendment Academy.

    I am guessing the dead folks didn't want it either.

    No one said there were dead folks. It's two thugs and they both brought a gun to the gunfight. No 23 or whatever dead people as everyone concerned had a gun. LOL Two fools in a fued with guns. It happens EVERY day on the streets of our cities and we never notice. Put it near a campus and everyone goes crazy wanting to disarm me.

    You mean like the 31 dead and 109 shot in Chicago already this year??

    Not much media coverage on that. Doesn't further the agenda.

    Exactly. Look at all they shoot in NY City every year with the nations strictest gun laws. They aren't even suppose to have them and everyone who's a crook does. Honest people just get killed for being in the way or because they look at someone wrong. Then the plea bargain it out and the guy is on the street in no time with a brand new illegal gun which they will get from where ever they have to. If they take all our guns away the new big import item will be firearm from Latin America.

    Well guys here is the cold hard truth, people in suburbia do not care what happens in Chicago or NY city. That gun violence is not "bothering" them.

    So we can list facts and stats all day long, they don't care. When it hits close to home they care.

    It's wrong, but it's the way it is.

    How many folks really care what is napping in the cities in this country? That video some one posted here said it best, something like below:

    We know where the crimes is, we know where all the violent crime is happening, and we do nothing to stop it. As soon as it hits suburbia look what happens.

    A big portion of it isn't that the people in the suburbs don't care or do anything about crime. It's that the people actually living in the crime ridden areas don't care or do anything about it. At some point a community needs to say enough is enough and start taking back their neighborhoods.


    People in the burbs don't accept the crime and murders in their neighborhoods. That is not a bad thing.

    That's the hard part though, you can't go Charles Bronson on someone in a big city.


    When I was a kid, we used to cut across a pasture because it was quicker. We're talking early 80's, sometimes in the day and sometimes at night. Well another group of the older kids used to get drunk and go cow tipping at night. Crossing that pasture you never knew if you'd get an *** full of rock salt or not. We were in the wrong trespassing, but in the city someone cuts through your yard physically escorting them off can get you arrested, let alone peppering them with rock salt.

    Big difference between urban and rural in that regards.

    Does anyone really care what is happing in our cities that live in burbs or rural area?

    Really what have you done? I have done absolutely nothing for Detroit violence, my action suggest I don't care. You know what I really don't, with all I having going on in my life I simple do not have the time.

    I have to care a little bit since I work in the city. But Pittsburgh is really not that bad at all, there's a few neighborhoods to steer clear of. I'm not sure how other cities are laid out, but we go from urban, suburb, rural real quick. Just as many news stories for drugs, meth labs & robberies come from suburb/rural areas as in the city. There's a lof of trash that lives in the smaller towns. The town I grew up in has gone so far down hill.

    The majority of Americans don't care about crime in big cities because of who is getting killed. If the "wrong" person gets killed though, suddenly it makes national news. And by "wrong", I don't mean innocent. Plenty of innocent bystanders get killed in inner cities every year, and still the majority of Americans don't care.

    For anyone that says the people that live there don't care, you could not be more wrong. What you see on TV is not what is happening there everyday.

    Completely false. We do care.


    Last time I started talking about the root causes of the inner cities. Unemployment. You called me a racist. Thats a big part of why nothing gets done.

    Lack of education leads to unemployment. The gangs own the streets and the schools. Lack of family and lack of education leads to the situation there.


    The truth is this is a hard and complex issue and government doesn't want to tackle those issues. They would rather create problems and tackle those non issues.
