Exclamation Colorado shooter an opinionated socialist

Is this a trend here? weren't the other recent shooters ie, the movie shooter and others, from the left side of thinking? What does this mean?

"Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with the gunman, described him as a very opinionated Socialist.

"He was exuberant I guess," Conrad told The Denver Post."
Karl Halverson Pierson, 18, injured two students at Arapahoe High School, turned gun on self | News.com.au

Student On Arapahoe School Shooter: "Very Proud Of Being A Socialist" | Video | RealClearPolitics

"The gunman responsible for Friday's shooting at Arapahoe High School in Colorado is being described as a "socialist" by his fellow students.

"He was friendly enough. Very proud of being a socialist. He was very outspoken on his political views," student Angie Mock said. "To him, it just meant economic -- more economic equality.""

Obama has nothing to do with this.

I was actually trying to raise a serious question here, not slamming anyone. There seems to be a trend for these young shooters to be left leaning and taking certain types of prescription drugs.

Is it the drugs, culture or what?

From what I remember he dose not own a gun. I wouldn't trust him with one. Might go off on some of those terrible one percenters. Except for the ones around him that he created with our money.

Someone gave him access to firearms, that's a causal agent.


I don't have kids and my guns are still under lock and key.

"His intent....was evil"

Motive behind Arapahoe High School attack remains murky - The Denver Post


Apparently he threatened to kill the debate team instructor, Murphy, and got tossed off the team. So, he goes and buys a pump action shot gun last week....

Irrational violence. That's the new normal in this country. I don't see it changing.

Meanwhile, in more pressing CO. news....

I bet if that comatose girl was wielding a shotgun in class, she would have gotten a round off before Lee Harvey had a chance to shoot her. Shows that we have too few guns, not too many...
