    Indeed.

    I see the gunman was an ex-IBM employee. Working with the WebSphere family of servers would drive anyone to mass murder.

    Voong did us a favor by killing these immigrants who came to America to take OUR jobs during a recession when American’s need these jobs in order to survive in OUR homeland and birthplace. Hispanics, stay in Mexico and stitch Nike soccer balls. Filipino’s, stay in your country and harvest beans and banana’s. Koreans and Chinese, work in your rice patties. These last few sentences need not apply to those ethnicities that were born and raised in the United States. Stay the F0CK out of our country and get jobs in your own country. Those people NEVER would have died had they just STAYED in their own country and found the jobs that are provided to them over here. THANK YOU VOONG FOR LEAVING THIRTEEN JOB OPENINGS FOR US HARD WORKING AMERICANS

    I'm also disgusted that gun toters in America insist on owning their own firearm, when this kind of **** happens.

    They would respiond with the statement that 'less people would have been harmed if they were able to carry a gun to protect themsleves'.

    They would also go on to tell you that this person was not an 'American'.

    I haven't looked at any of the reports on Fox News yet, but this is what I am expecting to read.

    I am going to blame Mama Mia.

    If you weren't out of your mind going into that film, you sure as hell would be coming out.

    As one of the resident American gun-toters, I agree fully with the first sentiment. Y'all can be victims if you like. I intend to give myself at least a fighting chance. (Literally)

    I don't know this chap's immigration status/nationality, so cannot comment on his Americanicity.

    Damn right. "careful now" would be a far more arresting statement if delivered while pointing a 12 gauge with 6 in her.

    I'm sorry. Why have I just had a mental image of a priest wielding a shotgun, facing down a gunman and saying "Down with this sort of thing"?

    I'm with MM and Nodin on this one, I'd much rather have my own firearm if I ever ended up in a situation like that.

    Also, all priests should be armed.

    To be honest, a lot of them can't even be trusted with their hands...
