i suppose so ... kinda hard to remove the x-factor when you accept that it represents the 'unknown', huh ?
So you are saying that the things that block this can not be removed?

I started to post yesterday that my sources had told me that there was going to be at least three more school shootings and a VA hospital shooting of disabled American Vets, but I didn't, thinking that it would be taken apart by ATS because I have no tangible proof. I wish I had, now, and from now on, I will.
The reason, my sources told me, is that the current regime wants total gun, land and resources confiscation, martial law, and total governmental control and, that just being white will get you incarcerated or killed. I guess we will see.

Well I am not familiar with that area. Exactly how bad of an area is it? Is it common for people to get shot there?

Violent movies ar also distributed to the rest of the world , so why arent Australians or Italians shooting up random people on the street every week ?
Pharma drugs, France is the most drugged nation in the world, so why is it we dont see mass shootings in France every day ?
However, there are two things USA has plenty of which other civilized countries dont, lunatics and guns.edit on 23-1-2013 by ArtooDetoo because: (no reason given)
The gunfire erupted during an argument between two men near the library on the campus at 2700 W.W. Thorne about 12:20 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Carlton Berry, 22, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly opened fire, wounding two men, including a maintenance worker who was an innocent bystander. The worker was wounded in the leg, deputies said.
Deputies said the other victim had two gunshot wounds. Both victims have what appear to be non life-threatening injuries. Their names have not been released.
Berry was also wounded. He apparently accidently shot himself in the hip. Initial reports indicated he ran away from the campus after the shooting and later showed up at a nearby hospital seeking treatment for a gunshot wound.
However, he never fled the campus, said Deputy Thomas Gilliland, a spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Gilliland said paramedics rushed him to a nearby hospital. The two victims identified him as the gunmen before he left the campus, Gilliland added.
Gilliland said reports of Berry's possible accomplice who ran away into a nearby wooded area prompted law enforcement officers to scour areas near the school. But they found no one and now are uncertain if an accomplice was involved.

that is a pretty big IF, don't ya think ?
If we live a self-absorbed life with the short term goal of worldly rewards, we have not only hurt our souls but the future generations also have to pay for our foolishness.
can you evidence this via the animal kingdom ??
The strong must look out for the weak, not the other way around.
the history of human existence has proven quite the opposite.
It is most beneficial to everyone if we do not stab eachother in the back

i am curious why it hasn't been mentioned whether this gun-toter, legally owned his gun or not i'm leaning toward the 'illegally' owned aspect or the story wouldn't be fading so soon.
yes, he was carrying it illegally (in GFZ) but i'm wondering about 'owning' it legally, just in case anyone is confused by the inquiry.

A: You will need a valid state-issued ID. Many FFLs will not sell to out-of-state residents. This is due to the FFL's requirement to uphold your resident state's gun laws, and the inherient complexity associated with many states.
Q: Can I carry a firearm on my person?
A: Yes, with proper licensing (Concealed Handgun License) you may carry a pistol or revolver on your person so long as it remains concealed. Long guns (rifles / shotguns) do not have to be concealed, but must be carried in a manner not calculated to cause alarm, and do not require a license.
