Discussion: Active Shooter Situation Reported At Seattle Area High School

Discussion for article #229291

I thought Seattle was in the Pacific time zone - where it is 11:31 a.m. The afternoon notation makes the whole article look fake.

It did say 1:45 ET (Eastern Time), thus 10:45 Pacific.

Hey! Where the hell was the NRA?

Are the guns just for Wayne LaPierre’s bodyguard?

The obvious solution is more automatic firearms.

Um please take note that it does say EASTERN time sparky, which does in fact make it 10;45 a.m. PACIFIC time.

I guess Chrissy Teigen wasn’t too far off base. Pretty sad her tweet was vindicated two days later. She must be omniscient.

I’m sure this shooter had some ā€˜sincerely held beliefs’ that the constitution guaranteed him the right to express.

It took him six other people to get it out of his system. Too bad they didn’t have any rights …

I did what I never do and turned on Fox to see if they were even covering this shooting, and to my surprise they are. I am now taking bets on how long people think it will be before they find a way to blame Obama for this school shooting, and of course tie it in with Ebola, Benghazi, the IRS, and ISIS.

One thing I think we can be sure of with them, that within a few hours they will have on some gun nuts saying if teachers and students could all be armed this could be avoided.

Omniscient … nan, guessing that there will be any school shooting in American is a pretty safe bet. Fox News is already firing up the memory wipes so that GOPiers forget about this one before Nov. 4, like they have forgotten about every other one.

On USA Today the first comment was about how this is another shooting in a ā€œliberal held area.ā€ Several others echoed it. Seriously there are some dumb emeffers out there. Just depressing.

Shooter is brown - A Mexican drug lord mule / hit man crazy eyed ILLEGAL!!!
Shooter has a Middle Eastern sounding name - TERRORIST!

Oh I know, that was me being sarcastic. They forget about their controversies until there hasn’t been something new for them to bleat on for a while. Remember Bowe Bergdahl? Yeah, neither do they.

fox news reporting shooter killed himself
CNN and MSMBC are not

If white, the shooter will be praised by the far right for ā€œAiming at an airborne Ebola virus brought into the country illegally by a lesbian Muslim from Benghazi.ā€

The local news there is now reporting that 3 have died in this shooting. Here we have multiple young people gunned down in the blink of an eye, because this country is so gun crazy, and yet we are supposed to once again just turn over and go back to sleep, because Ebola is supposed to be our biggest fear. Yeah gun nuts, tell that to all of those students still locked in their classrooms terrified, or the parents of the dead and injured students.

I’m so sick to death, just absolutely ill, seeing children run for their lives over someone’s fetish. And then because of the gun fetishists, these kids have to carry this horror for the rest of their lives. The parents, can you imagine the horror of waiting to figure out if it’s your baby, your child who you’re going to bury or if it’s your child who is wounded?
