this is so fucked up, even though i don't know anybody in the bay who would have been at that college, i'm really shook this morning, mainly because ...
last night i read this
Mary Ping, 47, said she got a call from an instructor at the university telling her that a shooting was under way. Ping said her 24-year-old daughter, Kathleen, works at Oikos University as a receptionist in the front office.
Ping said she received a phone call from the front office number shortly after 10:30 but was not able to answer it. She believes it was her daughter calling but has not heard anything from her since.
"No one is answering the front desk number now," Ping said. "Somebody called me from that number. I think it was her, and I think that means she's alive, I can't think about it more than that. It is too scary."
and this morning i read this
Goh forced a secretary into a classroom and asked people to line up, Jordan said.
"Not everyone was cooperative, and that's when he began shooting," he said. The dead included six students and the secretary, he said.

The school's receptionist Katleen Ping, 21, of Oakland, was also shot and killed Monday, her family confirmed, although her name was not on the list released Tuesday.

One of the Balloon Juice bloggers went absolutely ballistic over that today.
Don’t dare call them racists, don’t dare say we need law enforcement to look into the militia and white supremacist movements, don’t dare point out the people going on shooting rampages are not young urban minorities, don’t dare point out how easy it is to get firearms and ammunition in this country, don’t dare point out the people who actually are mounting up for a shooting war in our midst, because you should really be worried about the fellow down the street with the different religion or no religion at all or the unarmed black kid with the hoodie or the dirty effing hippie Occupy protester on the street corner or the Latino family driving along the border state highway or the people who want marriage equality for their loved ones, or the woman who wants to get rid of the fetus she’s going to be unable to care for in six months.These people, I am told, are the terrorists among us who will kill people, and not REAL ‘MURICANS like JT Ready. And man, this one stomps on all the asshole buttons, he gets all this hardware to play Metal Gear Solid on the border to shoot him some brown people because he has to protect the white way of life, and in the end the person who was the greatest threat to his loved ones was JT Ready him-goddamn-self, who took the chickenshit way out and punched his own clock after murdering a toddler. Now that’s freedom, my droogies.America, you need a good swift kick in the ass. Here’s hoping this wakes up the somnambulant among us.[UPDATE] And let’s be clear here, this asshole apparently had a plan that consisted of A) kill his family, B) then kill himself in order to C) make it look like The Great Brown Horde offed him so D) he’d be some sort of white supremacist martyr and his angry nutjob buddies would E) then start a race war in Arizona. He’s not just a terrorist, he’s a complete “New branches of mathematics are necessary in order to sufficiently quantify how evil this asshole is” type of terrorist.

Harry Hughes, a member of the National Socialist Movement who also took part in armed border patrols, expressed shock at Wednesday’s tragedy.
“I think this is horrible,” he said. “I want everyone to know J.T. Ready was the last person on earth I’d figure to have done anything to hurt a child. It really caught me off guard. Despite all the rhetoric and the stuff we’re going to hear about him being the evil Nazi, he was a good man.”

(Reuters) - A gunman took hostages in an Indiana real estate office on Friday, then released them after an eight-hour standoff and fatally shot himself in the head, authorities said.
The gunman died at a hospital in Valparaiso, Indiana, about 40 miles southeast of Chicago, police said.
"We believe there was some issue over some money," said Valparaiso Police Chief Michael Brickner. He added the man had been to the office previously to complain and had a confrontation with employees.

The father of the man who opened fire and killed five people across Seattle and later killed himself after a citywide manhunt, says his son was a very private person who was "disgruntled" and had been a frequent customer of the coffee shop where his rampage began.

Really bugging me that CNN keeps having talking heads explaining how Sikhs differ from Muslims and how the casual visual similarity to the uninitiated leads to Sikhs being "unfairly targeted for violence."
Like, opposed to the totally legit targeting of Muslims in the US? Fuck you guys.

I will cop to feeling vaguely *guilty* when Sikhs and other brown non-Muslims were targeted for hate speech/crimes immediately following September 11th until a Muslim friend pointed out how fucked up this was.
I was driving all day and public radio played a tearful interview with a family member of the founder of the temple. It was hard to listen to.
