Glad there are LEGAL gun owners out there

[HeavyGunner]

Saw this on the news today and hope it gets half the coverage the other school shootings get. I doubt it will since a legally armed resource counselor shot the teen shooter and stopped what could’ve been another mass shooting.

It’s unfortunate that it had to go down like that but I’m glad as hell he was there to stop the threat.

It says he was SWAT member.  Doing his job well.  One shot=one dead.

Perp be extra stupid.  Now he will miss out on years of appeals, and years of free medical and dental, weekly access to the prison law library, a state paid for sex change operation, and years of being somebodies prison sweetheart.  Oh well...

Not surprising how the mainstream media has all but swept this school shooting under the rug!  Meanwhile, they keep telling us to listen to high school children tell us that those under age 21 are too immature to own a gun.....

unfortunately the 16 year old girl he targeted, an ex girlfriend, died yesterday morning.

Maybe if the news plastered this all over the place and people see that you can die for your stupidity and it's not a tv show or video game maybe the next idiot would thing twice before pulling the trigger. Maybe it's too bad the kid got shot but he shot the girl and intended to kill her so screw him. Were i live i think they should take the prisoners out like a chain gang and fix the roads let them boys get a suntan and learn how to handle a shovel and pick. Then i wouldn't have to help pay for tv and barbells

Dave, the chain gang is a good thing, but the union would fight it tooth and nail! Freightrain,Bob asked about you the other night, he's looking forward to the season to open soon!

Authorities Claim The True Austin Bomber Was Everyone Who Failed This Sensitive, Promising Kid

Washington Post

3.22.18   p.m.

 

AUSTIN, TX—Deeply lamenting the loss of young Mark Anthony Conditt, the precocious yet thoughtful go-getter with a penchant for politics, city officials confirmed Thursday that the true Austin bomber was everyone who failed to nutrture this sensitive, promising kid. “What our investigation is attempting to determine is this: Who’s the real terrorist here? All the evidence points to it being everyone who refused to recognize the brilliance existing deep inside this sensitive, socially concerned young man,” said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley at a press conference, during which officials distributed a report listing multiple instances of the greater Austin community failing to nurture the vision and talent of the young genius, an oversight more as dangerous as the series of bombs that left two dead and several others injured last week. “Everything we learned from his neighbors indicates that this undeniably special young man displayed all the classic signs of someone out to make his mark on this world, and that we did nothing to protect his future is the biggest tragedy we’ve had in Texas for a long time. And the worst part is that we are to blame for his loss, all of us.” Manley refused to take questions, instead urging the people of Austin to question themselves after taking a long, hard look in the mirror over their part in causing the death of this child.

Sounds like the politicians need to be served with some "frontier justice" to me. Didn't realize the "Kool-Aid" drink was popular in Texas. The "kid" was a home brewed terrorist and got what he deserved although cheated others out of what they deserve by him swinging in the breeze at the public square.

You have got to be kidding.  Hopefully the people of Austin have started a campaign to get rid of this stupid shithead,

[PC68]

Unfortunately this is a debate that will never end , guns don’t kill people ,people kill people ! You don’t need guns to to end someone’s life and all this makes people who own guns the bad guys . Responsible gun owners will aways take the heat because of uneducated people and there beliefs . If you give a monkey a gun and the monkey shoots someone you don’t blame the monkey !

Unbelieveable.  This chief of police is most certainly a friggin idiot!   Kinda what you'd expect to find elected to office in this sanctuary city.

Sadly no.

The victims parents should get the Chief of Police, the Mayor and the Head of Child Welfare alone with them for an hour or so.

On second thought this asshole is playing to the galleries.  This city is home to Univ. of Texas.  It is what you would expect a political hack would come up with  to appeal to the liberal community in this university town.  But for sure, when I first read this my first thoughts were ..what do the families of those who were killed by this POPS think of this "chief's " statement.

Austin is basically the San Francisco or Cambridge of the south.

Just did a search on this  chief's comments.  Can't find anything.  If this in fact was said, it would be on the national news it is so outrageous.  Nothing.

Washington Post, National Enquirer, Star, Huffington Post, Inside Edition etc. ; all in bed together and deserve equal discredit dispersed and distributed within.

Thanks for the check. Pray public officials don’t get that level of snowflake indoctrination.

The same dipshits that were eating tide pods last week now want us to listen to them seriously about changing laws. Unfortunately at that age they haven't had enough life experience to see the whole picture yet.

I immediately thought, on reading that, "this sounds like an Onion article!" Turns out it is Glad to see we're not *that* far off the rails.

The bit about having people who were at the site of the shooting demand stricter gun laws is just partisan/reactionary politics and the news seeing the opportunity to sell a story. Of course they're going to want more gun control, they just experienced a traumatic event that life has almost certainly not prepared them for. I don't know about the rest of you, but at that age I also thought my opinions on the world mattered a lot.
