Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed..... [W:44:90]

Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

Turns out to be an off-duty TSA agent that walked into the terminal in camouflage gear and began targetting other TSA agents.

Was that the case? All I heard was there was a dead TSA agent. I didn't even know TSA ever carried.

As I understand it, the report of the shooter being an off-duty TSA agent was not true.
 
Happening Now.....this was posted a Minute ago. Flights in and out of LAX suspended.


Shots were fired Friday at Los Angeles International Airport.

The incident happened at around 11:30 a.m. Friday CDT.

Some people were injured, but information wasn’t available about the nature of the injuries.

Evacuations were ordered.

A Los Angeles Fire Department tweet called it a "multi-patient" incident.

CNN reported that flights in and out of the airport were suspended because of the incident.....snip~

Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed

Can't these idiot ever figure out where Telemarketers work?
 
Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

I only did a search for "shia" in the thread and didn't find it, but the shooters surname make him likely Shia Muslim...

I will read the thread when I have more time, but it does look like it could be another religious based attack.

Morning LOP. :2wave: Its not.....the guy wanted to commit suicide. Hated Cops and the TSA. No record other than a couple of minor traffic tickets.

Still the MS Media is harping about he used an Automatic Rifle and or weapon. Not to mention Obama said he has his eyes out on this story.

Mornin' DVS. :2wave: They at least have a chance to know and consider the thought.....if you think that is bad. You should have heard MSDNC reporting and talking about the shooting yesterday and last night.

Morning. Or is it night, still haven't been to sleep, just one of those nights.

I usually avoid such coverage, for one, I only have broadcast TV. If someone is pissed at someone else, hell, I can understand taking that "asshole" out. Then they can either off themselves or become a débutante at the next prison bitch ball. Thats their choice and only affects the two. It's that spray and pray on everyone else that really pisses me off.

If someone has the urge, they should haul their butts over to shrink and get some help. If not, then at least only take out the "asshole" that pissed them off. If they really feel the need to go further, then go find a bunch of useless ****tards to do it on. I don't care, telemarketers, the DNC, whatever, just not decent people going about their lives.
 
pretty much a weekly occurrence in the US now it seems
 
really? I think the anti gun hysterics wish it was so.

Don't really follow US domestic news as much as I used to but always seems to be a shooting thread up in here

well the facts demonstrate that in the last 20 years (about the time the Clintons and his minions started pushing and passing "feel good" laws that only harassed honest citizens) two things happened

1) Lots more guns were sold and states allowed Millions more to carry them on the public streets

2) violent crime went down-in fact we have less violent crime per capita than the UK does and white Americans-over the last 30 years have lower rates of gun crime than whites in Europe

Yeah, I can understand about the sleep myself. I was just getting in from Work. So yeah it is morning or at least the light of dawn is finally breaking out.

Even on the radio stations.....they are reporting he attacked with an Assault weapon. So you can see where they want to push this issue.

One thing is for certain. Obama is ecstatic that the media has something else to talk about other than his failing and lying ass. He gets a 3 day break.....to help his numbers from dropping even more than they already have.

Turtle, I love it how you're so selective with the stats about the UK. You simply cannot compare UK violence, which is predominantly non-fatal, with that of the US.

I love how Britain had a collective garment soiling when ONE nutcase went berserk and you all decided the way to handle that was to screw over every pistol owner in your little kingdom. And when you factor out drug fueled black inner city crime-our nation is safer than yours.
 
Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

Really? REALLY? You're take on this is such that MURDERING A HUMAN is okay because you dislike the organization?

I can't....words can't even describe.....

Murdering a human being is terrible, but fortunately, that never happened; only a tsa officer was killed.

We cannot "factor out" stats because they self-refute our position. Carrying that logic forward I could "factor out" UK black-on-black inner city violence which would help my position no end. But of course, that would distort the true picture, and show a selectiveness on my part.

Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

You cannot be serious.

Depends on one's point of view.

Mathematically, it takes 3 dead tsa officers to equal one cockroach, since cockroaches have 6 legs to crawl on someone, while tsa officers typically only grope w/their 2 hands.

However, since each hand has 5 fingers to grope, one could argue that it takes 2 cockroaches to = 1 tsa officer.

However, the latter implies a greater value for the tsa officer relative to the cockroach, which is clearly misleading.

:rolleyes: the only stupidity is in those who fail to do basic research before posting. . .

A gunman armed with a high-powered rifle opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday morning, killing a TSA agent and wounding several others, authorities said.

Live: LAX shooting: 'Multiple victims' hit; at least 7 hurt - latimes.com

The LA Times article clearly states that several passengers were injured, and that's definitely tragic, but nowhere in the article is there a single mention of a human being killed.

A single armed sensible individual at an airport could provide the security of 1,000 tsa officers.

The difference is that w/the human being, the cost to the public would be significantly less, and at least 1,000 less kids would be groped.
 
Re: Shots Fired At LAX; Injuries Confirmed.....

just another joe trading time for money
is there some other aspect of his life, some history, which causes him to be other than a victim

Real men don't trade their character for a paycheck.

There is armed police in every US airport, the TSA are there to screen for potential drug/terrorist activity and to safeguard the public on the flights.

Interesting you should say that today. Yesterday, I heard on the radio that one of Chicago's aldermen proposed removing Chicago police officers from O'Hare Field -- which would have left just unarmed security. It was dissed. Just yesterday. Early in the morning. Before this happened at LAX.

No there should always be armed guards at every airport in my opinion. Even British airports have armed police patrolling at all times.

The tsa is there to grope young girls and kids. And airport security in the US is so ridiculous that it's non-existent.
