How soon before the NRA loons finds a way to try to blame this on March for Our Lives and California not allowing open carry?

FYI Then Governor Ronald Reagan signed the law banning ‘open carry’ in California.

Well, if it’s a redneck white guy, then it’s not a terror incident but a lone wolf.

Muslims and blacks are immune to mental derangement.
It’s only Christian white guys who suffer mental illness.

Inconvenient timing for Wayne LaPierre. But then again, it’s California so there are no good guys with guns obviously. Maybe someone could fashion one out of kale.

Female suspect dead at scene, unknown number of victims, per MSNBC.

I’m old. I remember when the only work place shootings were at the post office. It was so part of American life when anyone shot up their work place we called it “going postal”.

And because there was a shooting in California, obviously gun control is useless. That’s just logic.

[globalguy]

Already happening over at Twitter, especially on the feeds of YouTube employees.

[thebigragu]

Have we yet reached the point where mass shootings are only covered as local news stories - like car accidents and warehouse fires?

[erik_t]

I believe this is a corollary of the well-known “get a brain, morans”.

[thebigragu]

The good news is if the gun is an AR-15, it can’t be too bad because that’s not a “real military assault rifle”.

[ghost]

I assume you mean NRA loons jumping in to comment on the YouTube employees’ feeds.

[dannysgrandma]

Fuck. Never again.

One of the best signs I saw during the March for our Lives was “Maybe we’re the answer to your thoughts and prayers.”

OMG, I absolutely love it!!

[katscherger]

There are way too many people in California for open carry. It would be fucking insane.

Female suspect

Female suspect? That’s unusual.

[mattinpa]

Unconfirmed though. You really have to avoid putting much credence in anything you hear for the first couple of hours.

Blame the “women’s liberation movement”. She should be at home doing the laundry and vacuuming.

[tena]

Yeah it is.

Everytime there’s an airplane accident, CNN is first to report that the aircraft was a “Boeing Airbus”.

I’ll say it again: Why in the hell does BBC do at least as well at shoe-leather, work-the-phones breaking-news reporting here as our domestic cable news and major news outlets do? I’ve always thought that was disgraceful.
