rolling disgruntled shootings thread 2010

ftr, the town of Halfway, Oregon is an extremely isolated ranching community and I am certain that more than half the adult population would own guns and hunting licenses, because that's an area where bagging your elk is what puts meat in the freezer for winter.

Probably all the more reason not to pull a stunt like that.

Cammie DeCastro sounds like a hard motherfucker

More like Ham-ie DeCastro

guns made for kids. great.

all the more reason

true dat, but the combo of media-saturation reporting of violent events and incessant nra propaganda has planted some fixed ideas in many rural folks who ought to know better.

Thank you for supporting the next generation of recreational shooters. My 4 1/2 year old daughter thought the "pink one" was far superior to a black synthetic stock,who am i to argue? I never would have thought that a pink rifle would be sitting in the rack in the gun room. I look forward to when my daughter is a bit older and ready to begin her journey in the great sport of shooting.

the next generation of recreational shooters

I'm fine with recreational shooters in general. I do think it is highly presumptuous of them to believe that the Second Amendment was placed into the foundational laws of our nation in order to elevate "recreational shooting" to the level of a sacred right.

The great thing about a hidden truth is that, by definition, you won't know what it is, so that no one can disprove it.

Agree 25%

Neither 22%
But what is..."truth"? 11%

A message threatening a shooting at Perry High School was found written in a boys’ restroom Thursday morning.

The message stated: “There’s going to bee a shooting”; “Beware this isn’t a joke”; “Friday”; and “Cancell school Friday,” according to a statement from Perry Schools Superintendent Jack Thompson.

Students and visitors at the high school are under “stay-put” procedure unless they receive approval from an authorized staff member. Students and staff also will be informed of this decision at an all-school assembly this afternoon, Thompson said.

On Friday, police will increase their visible presence on campus, he said.
“We appreciate the immediate response and investigative work of our Perry Police Department. Again, the police are confident this is a hoax,” Thompson said. “We will continue cooperating with the police investigation and will keep staff and community informed.”

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the building principal at 440-259-3511 or Perry Village police at 440-259-5292. Information also can be reported anonymously to the Safe Schools Help Hotline at 800-418-6423, extension 359, or by texting 66746 and typing “TIPS”.

Thursday’s threat comes just two weeks after shooting threats were found written in the girls’ bathroom on April 9, 10 and 11, and two months after an unfounded rumor alleged two students were planing a shooting at Perry Middle School on March 1.

Crime
AK-47-Wielding Gunman Fires 37 Times at Shocked Cops During Routine Traffic Stop

Terrifying dash-cam footage captures the moment a crazed motorist opened fire with an AK-47 rifle at police officers who had just pulled him over for a minor traffic violation in Middlefield, Ohio.

James Gilkerson, 42, exited his parked car and then fired 37 shots at the officers and their patrol car, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported. Officers Erin Thomas and Brandon Savage returned fire, killing Gilkerson.

Police have no idea why Gilkerson opened fire.

“He got of the vehicle, intending to kill my officers. We don’t know why he did it,” said Middlefield Police Chief Arnold Stanko. “He was a scumbag, and a terrorist, and he’s dead.”

In the March 10 video, Gilkerson exits his car—which the officers pulled over for running a stop sign—and sprays the patrol car with rounds of gunfire, cracking the windshield.

Thomas, reportedly outside the patrol car on the driver’s side, is heard shouting as bullets begin flying at them. Stanko said Gilkerson was shot several times, but kept firing; he even shouted, “Kill me.” Savage returns fire through the windshield, after which the officers kill Gilkerson.

Thomas lost a finger in the shootout; Savage sustained minor injuries to his left thigh.

Here’s the dash-cam footage of the shootout (Warning: Graphic imagery):

Stanko said eight 40-round magazines were found inside Gilkerson’s car, as well as some disturbing reading material (e.g., Backyard Rocketry: Converting Model Rockets into Explosive Missiles and Homemade Detonators: How to Make Them).

"Here’s the dash-cam footage of the shootout"

Zeitgeist-defining phrase right there.

in the video, is the gunman shouting "kill me!"?

Seems to be what he says, yep. Only after firing a couple dozen rounds art the cops though, and then continuing to fire.

Helpful billboard I saw yesterday in Mobile, AL:

not sure if a suicide counts as a disgruntled shooting but
a) the guy was a right-winger disgruntled about the new gay marriage law in France
b) it's a pretty high profile place to do it (heard the sirens, wasn't sure what was going on, am only a few blocks away)

"A Navy spokesperson says they cannot confirm a report of multiple shooters, but they’re not dismissing it either. "

where's a good guy with a gun when you need one

Maybe we should think about arming the Navy...

my grandfather worked at a navy shipyard. i think it's mostly civilians.

The Navy Yard is mostly offices. One of the first tweets I saw about it was some gun nut jibber jabber about it being a gun free zone or something.

Read something similar...
