How cordial! Mother Jones has put out a 'guide' to america's massacres of 2012:

www.motherjones.com...



I found the demographics somewhat helpful. What stood out is half of all massacres occured on school or shooter's workplace grounds. And that all but 1 of the massacre shooters were male.

I'm astounded that most of the shooters were pre-diagnosed with mental illness or known to be mentally disturbed, yet the weapons were supposedly obtained legally. (By the shooter, or by anyone?)

I have yet to see the media or authorities cover gun safety or what to do to avoid or do in the event of a mass shooting.

That is because it does't fit the "guncontrol" agenda coming from the left, who were also allegedly largely responsible for closing most assylums in the country and passing laws to make commital and long term retention difficult to impossible. In doing so, this left a vaccuum in the mental health field where patients were left with little to no follow up, and expected to take care of themselves.

As has even been witnessed on this website, however, the mentally ill often do not see themselves as such, and that burden of responsibility often falls to the wayside, with patients believing there is nothing wrong with them, everyone else is crazy, or they are just misunderstood. This leads to non compliance with meds, sadly.

Having said all of that, allow me to reitterate, no one has confirmed Adam Lanza was ever treated or ever taking meds for mental illness. I began a thread on this, where a known hoaxter posed as his "uncle" the day of the shooting, interviewed with the press, made untrue allegations, and was arrested by Federal agents.

However, investigators did state thus far, they have no evidence of such.

Now, having said THAT, it brings me full circle to an argument I have always had about the "insanity defense". I think, regardless of knowing the difference between right and wrong, no "sane" person murders another. Be it revenge, malice, whatever the intent, a degree if "insanity" took place. Thus, I despise this defense.

Where next? Hospitals, or school buses, is my guess.

A packed place of worship would be my guess.

You forgot:

- A church (1999)
- Numerous places of employment (various years going back as far as 1986)
- A bar (1984)
- A farm (1949)
- A landing ship tank (1946)
- An air force base (1994)
- An army base (2009)
- A hunter's camp (2004)
- An immigration office (2009)
- A passenger train (1993)
- A real estate law firm (1993)
- A family home, then neighbour standing outside, then at a corner gas station (1987)
- Outside a cop station, then a warehouse, then a hotel (1973)
- People walking down the street, then a barber shop, then a tailor shop (1949)


I think most public places have been covered thus far.

So where will it happen next in 2013 ?

Gawd only knows.... where else is left ?!

It wasn't anyone from the left that were kicking psychiatric patients out into the streets to fend for themselves... It was the conservative way of cutting health care cost at first but is now another way to award contracts to private healthcare facilities owned by corporations.... Most people that don't qualify for state hospital care because of the income of their families are the ones that are the problem.

I think there will be a Mass Rally for Gun Rights Supporters.
And it will end in a OK Corral Shootout.

Just a guess , but we are just throwing Ideas around.

That is because it has nothing to do with saving lives.

This is the truth.

“Our main agenda is to have ALL guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed.” -Sarah Brady
