Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

When we had a tragedy in 9/11 as you mentioned it, there were no lefties and righties.
President Bush had the full support of the Nation, as you know, and as he should have.
The blood of our Soldiers knows no lean NP .

Yeah for about a week.........
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

It's probably not terrorism.

You guys can stow your favorite talking points.


Yeah right..........I am surprised to hear that from you.
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

I'd prefer to focus on your former brothers and sisters in the Military and their families who are grieving once again tonight.
We get too much practice at this mourning stuff Apache.
It all depends how far back you want to go.
Time to put aside the political stuff this time.
I'm fortunate to be able to think of my Dad at these times .
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Do you have any evidence that this was a terrorist attack rather than someone simply going crazy? It is completely possible to shoot people just because a person is crazy, without having any political agenda whatsoever (which is required to define such an attack as a terrorist attack).

Take the guy just last week who killed the sailor onboard the ship. Doesn't sound like it was terrorism, although his real motives are unknown at this time.

Family felt Navy base shooter had changed his life | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

And from what I just read, it sounds like it was some sort of fight between two people that got way out of control.

Ft. Hood shooting was reportedly 'soldier on soldier' incident | Fox News

So it seems this one may have just been the result of anger leading to very stupid and fatal decision, and then possibly fear or perhaps even insanity leading to further shootings.


Obama will caall it work place violence or like in Benghazi a ****ing video....
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Wow that is sad, especially if it is true that it all started over a fight between soldiers.

If that is the case why did he shoot 14 other soldiers?
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

If this was important, why didn't Bush/Cheney correct it ?

Lets blame this on Bush/Cheney.........I wonder for how many years you lefties are going to blame them?
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Thankfully, everyone with any experience in the last 10 years or so will know that this argument is laughable.

I concur.

I drive through highly gang invested neighborhoods in South Central and South L.A. where they have these legal signs with a pistol in a circle with a slash through them. Below it says "Gun Free Zone." I **** you not. Leftist believe that their voting base will do as they are told. :lamo

They (liberals) even have "Gang Free Zones" if the heaviest gang invested neighborhoods. The same neighborhoods that voted over 90% for Obama. :2rofll:

How ****ing stupid are liberals and progressives believing that by labeling a neighborhood a "gun free zone" that gang bangers, illegal aliens and low life criminals will obey these liberal rules ?
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

About as many as you blame Clinton, Carter, Johnson and JFK.
You stepped in the quick-sand again NP, yet I keep handing you a limb to get out.
You can thank my Dad and reverence for your gold star for that .

Serious question: was this a joke?
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Well that death penalty thing proved to be quite a deterrent today in the Lone Star State...eh?
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Moderator's Warning:
All the partisan BS needs to stop NOW. This thread is about the recent shooting in Fort Hood. Not Benghazi. Not 9/11. Not Bush. Not Obama. Not Clinton. You want to discuss those things then go make yourself another thread somewhere other than Mainstream News Media.

Jesus, get a grip on yourselves.
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Personally, I didn't say it had anything to do with terrorism, so you can stow your need to judge me. I did indicate that there seems to be a growing number of these incidents involving the military - we've had them here - and it's reasonable to wonder what might be happening in the military to cause or facilitate such incidents.

Got stats?
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

I read and listen to the news to keep informed - if you don't, find another patsy to do your research for you.

So you don't actually have any evidence to support the pondering you propose. Figures.
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

No, what I don't have is any interest in your little pissing match - educating you is not in my job description - do it yourself.

Have a good day.
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Just to help you out - here's an article from Army Times last evening regarding recent shootings at US military bases. You'll note that there have been five in the past 4-5 years - I'd say that's a lot - and a gap of 14 years back to the previous one before this recent rash of shootings.

So, again, one has to wonder what is going on in the military to cause this recent rash of shootings on military bases in the US. Got any answers?

I'm just saying, wondering why things are increasing without any evidence of an increase is dumb.

In this case its war-related PTSD & depression. What's going on in the military you ask? War. Thats what.

On a related note, SPC Ivan didn't register the .45cal pistol he used in the shooting, so lefties, tell us again how registration and capacity limits are about 'saftey'.
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

I live right next door to one of the largest, Joint Base Lewis McMcord (JBLM). JBLM, Hood, Bragg and Campbell are all in excess of 200,000 in population. Bragg is the biggest, followed by Hood, then Campbell and Lewis.

Nope Hood is larger by 90 sq. miles. :)
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood[W:87]

1)So the idiots on the news have named this guy. They should not do that. The guy should die in obscurity.

2) The shooter had a poor mental health history. He didn't snap. Nobody ever snaps.

3) we know that the advice given to people in this situation is futile. "Shelter in place." That means stand still and wait for the shooter. If you can get out of there....you leave.
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

Since the guy 'would have' been tried by a military court, that statement has no relevance.
 
Re: Source: Active shooter at Fort Hood

If the Air Force can have an Air Force base without a runway, can't the Army have a base for those with psychiatric issues on a base without weapons?
