It is odd that there is no description of the shooter. Even in local media interviews of witnesses, he is only referred to as "the man". None of the newspapers or TV stations seem to ask what he was wearing, or what he looked like. When have details about a shooter's identity or motives been irrelevant to a news story?

Sorry, Too much NRA Domestic Terror to keep up with, Every hour. Every day. Every week, month, year. Count on your no-background-check NRA Domestic Terror organization to keep the carnage coming.
Good luck to you.

I started to comment, then I saw it was you. Having fun blaming people who were not there?

JMack • 8 years ago

You hate to share don't you?

Paladin • 8 years ago

But, but, but they have had full Universal Background Checks in Colorado for two years! I thought you gun control zealots told us UBCs would fix all this?

Aldo Elmnight • 8 years ago

I thought background checks are required for all gun purchases in Colorado? Is that not working?

Another racist.

98% of the time they report no race. 97% of the time it is a white guy.

DarkGoldenMan‎ • 8 years ago

Another lie. You spew percentages to make your lie worse.

Christian Mannhood • 8 years ago

And who did it?

Oh, a White Christian Gunowner.

Who could've guessed?

DarkGoldenMan‎ • 8 years ago

Who did it? A white(your race, not mine) liberal anarchist type
that HATED religion. He thought his father's pastor was a cult leader.

Dude:

Libertarian != Liberal

Plenty of Xians that don't like Cults!

DarkGoldenMan‎ • 8 years ago

Do cults change leaders regularly?

Christian Mannhood • 8 years ago

Why not?

Here is a group of Christian that consider Roman Catholicism a cult. They seem to change their leadership regularly.

Libertarian = classical liberal

Modern liberal = totalitarian progressive social-marxist

Christian Mannhood • 8 years ago

Surprise!

And what was it?

A White Christian Gun owner!

The Real geincolo • 8 years ago

People are dead. What the hell difference does " description of the shooter" matter.
Why not ask the victim families if that decription will ease their grief.
Fool with a gun. Good enough.

DarkGoldenMan‎ • 8 years ago

But you're willing to describe him as an NRA member, right?

Max Blancke • 8 years ago

I think they would want to know who did it, and why. Perhaps not.

Jack Aubry • 8 years ago

Please don't feed the troll

Mongoose • 8 years ago

None of the identities have been released yet.

John Galtius • 8 years ago

If I had a guess, it's islam related, and they want to make sure that no-one besides anti-gunners were helping him.

JMack • 8 years ago

If I had to guess someone code named, "John Galtius" paid a desperate immigrant to carry out this attack.

Guest • 8 years ago
JMack • 8 years ago

So what's the question again John????+?

Guest • 8 years ago
JMack • 8 years ago

Challenged by context often are you? Wait, no need to answer as it's obvious. Really, really obvious....

thebear • 8 years ago

Lol. Nice reference.

Mongoose • 8 years ago

They haven't disclosed identities of the victims either. Perhaps they are notifying next of kin. However, I suspect what you really want to know is what race the shooter was. Well, it darn well doesn't matter to his victims, and it shouldn't matter to you either.

Paladin • 8 years ago

It ony matters if the media is suppressing that information because of an agenda.

thebear • 8 years ago

Having worked around many journalists for about 10 years of my life I can tell you whether they were conservative or liberal it didn't really matter, the vast majority of NEWS journalists had a truth agenda, not a political one. Now if you are referring to opinion journalists or talking head commentators who are on Fox or MSNBC most of them have a political agenda. It's what they are paid to do.

Often time agendas are set by what the publisher of a paper or media outlet wants to be printed. Often times NEWS stories aren't covered because if it's bad news for the publishers agenda then the publisher will simply tell the news editors to not publish a story.

Most news journalists themselves whether they are libs or cons still try to seek the truth. It's those above them who do the agenda setting.

John Galtius • 8 years ago

NO, it started when the anti-0gunners passed laws that disarmed the victims.

Mongoose • 8 years ago

There have been no laws passed that have disarmed any qualified person who goes through the legitimate process of obtaining a gun.

Guest • 8 years ago
Eidolon • 8 years ago

And there is such a law in gun fondling Colorado Springs?

JMack • 8 years ago

but but John Gasbubble has proven that all these victims had been disarmed!

Christian Mannhood • 8 years ago

That's funny!!!

There evidently there was a made up time when almost everyone toted a gun around!!!

DarkGoldenMan‎ • 8 years ago

There was a time when it was less of a necessity.
Ironically, that time coincides with the period when
it was possible to order a Thompson submachine
through the mail, from Sears&Roebuck, with
ABSOLUTLY no background check or even an ID.

Christian Mannhood • 8 years ago

Just some background:

In 1930, when you could buy a Thompson submachine guns from Sears, over 300 Law Enforcement Officers died in the line of duty. The US had 123 Million people at the time.

In 1934 the National Firearms Act was passed.

Last year we had 117 LEOs die in the line of duty. In 2014 we had 318 million people.

Your world isn't reality.

DarkGoldenMan‎ • 8 years ago

As the number of guns has gone up the number of homicides has gone down.

DarkGoldenMan‎ • 8 years ago

LEOs always had guns.

splashy79 • 8 years ago

Actually, gun laws used to be far stricter. They have been chipped away at to the point where now they are almost non-existent.

JMack • 8 years ago

That was Billy'O, he was there!

RadirD • 8 years ago

we'll just blame every car death on triple-a. it's stupid, does not make sense, but not any worse than blaming the nra for every gun death since both organizations promote the safe handling of man made devices and against illegal use of them.

somedude • 8 years ago

equating cars with guns is ridiculous.. cars have utility outside of killing.

RadirD • 8 years ago

and guns don't?

somedude • 8 years ago

not outside of killing. obviously hunting can be justified (however you do realize that is killing as well) but please inform me of the utility of guns other than killing, justified or not.

Guest • 8 years ago
RadirD • 8 years ago

for you maybe. for me it's clear that millions of gun owners enjoy target shooting, hunting (is hunting murder now according to liberal standards?), and keeping the bad guys out of the house. and it's a constitutional right, which seems the gunowner haters keep forgetting.
