Discussion: Denver Schools Shut Down Amid Search For Armed Woman Obsessed With Columbine

Methinks meth has something to do with it. She looks about 35-40.

Local and federal officials are searching for 18-year-old Sol Pais. She made “credible” – but not specific – threats after traveling from Miami to Denver on Monday night, said Dean Phillips, the special agent in charge of the Denver FBI office.

At this point, there might not be enough probable cause to arrest Pais. But federal and state officials are working to develop appropriate charges, Phillips said.

Someone is verified to have bought a gun upon arrival in a city. And having made threats of violence deemed credible by the FBI. But that does not constitute cause for issuing an arrest warrant?

Are those supposed to be pictures of the same person?

One was taken early in the morning. They never look the same early the next morning.

Check out Dave Cullen’s book Columbine which examines with minuet detail the shooting and attempted bombing. He debunks all of the theories that were put out at the time on cable news and talk radio from the trench coat mafia to they were inspired by Marilyn Manson and video games.
It’s Occam’s Razor, They were highly disturbed individuals who wanted to cause the worst terrorist attack in the country.

One thing we know for sure, they were Muslims. All terrorists are Muslims.

…Can’t think of anything we could do to mitigate the risk of nutcases shooting up places…

Certainly wouldn’t make us safer if people can’t just pick up a shotgun and ammo at the corner store…

My daughter’s high school is one of the ones closed. It looks like they’ve just closed all schools here between Ft Collins (about an hour north of Denver on I-25) and Colorado Springs (about an hour south down I-25).

Dude, this is Colorado. Between “look for the NRA sticker” and “she was wearing a black tshirt and camo pants”… about half of the female population of the state should be sweating this morning.

Just f**king brilliant! An 18 year old can come to Denver, not old enough to buy a bottle of gin, but she sure as hell can buy a gun with ammo, no questions asked, and threaten an entire city school system. Even if she is already on an FBI watch list!..here, would like that wrapped?

Apparently, she was 18, although she looked older. She was a senior at Miami Beach High School.

Florida Woman Threatens Schools.

Odd behavior.

She’s dead. They found her body. https://www.rawstory.com/2019/04/breaking-woman-prompted-massive-manhunt-denver-area-school-cancellations-found-dead/

didn’t see @southerndem had already posted it. Sorry - one would think I would have seen that comment. :joy:

Denver-area public schools will be closed Wednesday as authorities search for a young Florida woman who flew to the city and bought a gun after becoming “infatuated” with the mass shooting at Columbine High School…The FBI said Sol Pais, 18, is “considered to be extremely dangerous”…

Wait. I barely remember my Spanish, but I’m pretty sure “sol país” means sun country. From Florida.

C’mon, Season 3 writers, you can do better.

I understand the urge to turn this whole situation into a punchline, but, to me, this seems like a perfect distillation of the gun rights debate.

One young woman came to our state and bought a gun, keeping how many thousands of kids home? The school districts in a huge area all determined that they could not guarantee that they could keep our kids safe, and so they all decided to close school today. This doesn’t just affect students, either. No employees were to report to school. And I don’t know if bus drivers and janitors will get paid on their unexpected day off. Working parents of young kids found out at midnight that they’d be needing to scramble for child care today.

So, I would like to have a really serious discussion about how far one person’s rights get to impede on the rights of others?

Methinks?
