School Shooting in Oregon

Here's the Google News Feed.

The college website is currently down.

Per the cached version of their "safety and security information":


*And of course this is just the beginning:

*Evidently "authorized by law" means it was not a "gun free campus" as other reports are claiming. See #26 on the list.

*§ 166.370:
Possession of firearm or dangerous weapon in public building or court facility ... (1) Any person who intentionally possesses a loaded or unloaded firearm or any other instrument used as a dangerous weapon, while in or on a public building, shall upon conviction be guilty of a Class C felony ... Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to ... A person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 (Issuance of concealed handgun license) and 166.292 (Procedure for issuing) to carry a concealed handgun.
* From CBS Seattle:
Joe Olson, former president of the college, told The Associated Press the school has only one security officer on duty at a time, and that person isn’t armed.
* NR Today:
The shooter was asking people to stand up and state their religion and then started firing away...
* The Blood-Dancer in Chief:
Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said Thursday that “sensible steps that can be taken to protect our communities from gun violence continues to be a top priority of this administration.” Such steps would include ending the ability of private parties to sell guns without doing a background check on purchasers, Mr. Earnest said. Mr. Obama’s inability to get such legislation through Congress “has been a source of frustration for him,” Mr. Earnest said.
* Per the Hushmail Haters, it's Kevin's fault:

* He was egged on:
According to the source close to the investigation, authorities are looking at social media posts between a person they believe may have been the shooter, and others. The conversation happened Wednesday night on 4chan. In it, the writer talks about planning to carry out a shooting. Others egg him on, giving him suggestions on how to do it, and the type of weapons to use. The responses are mixed -- with some users characterizing the would-be gunman as a pathetic loser. Others called him a twisted hero. In the posts, there is a reference to the UC Santa Barbara shooter, who wrote a manifesto and videoed himself before opening fire a year ago. "This is the only time I'll ever be in the news. I'm so insignificant," reads an apparent post by the would-be Oregon gunman.
Is this what I think it is? If so, save before it gets taken down.

* The Blood-Dancer in Chief, alright:
OBAMA: We should politicize tragic shootings, and use victims to push anti-gun agenda.
* Screenshots I took earlier today but did not post but it looks like others have come to the same conclusion:
* Removed because they weren't of the ID'd shooter.

A coworker told be about this. Naturally I assumed the campus was a gun free zone. The blood dancing gets started so early.

I note the John Lott's article is from 2012. Is it still valid?

"Blood Dancer in Chief"... Yup. I can hear the Danse Macabre playing once again...

Anyone not convinced that the Administration orchestrated this in response to the 'I Will Not Comply" movement?

This whole thing has a bad smell to it. The police and our overlords in the system, refuse to give any details on a dead man who was the shooter. That they in fact killed themselves, as they have said. Never mind the witnesses have had their cell phones taken from them by police, and the witnesses have been rounded up and taking away by police. Why is the media refusing to report more than it was a male and 20 years old, when some of the witnessed that the police did not nab have told the media about the shooter. This stalling to release information smells and without question that we will not be able to believe the official tale. Of course they have been rigging things to lie about what really happened. Frankly, I do not believe we will ever know whom the real shooter was if in fact there was a shooting. I can't get this thought out of my mind that it was a Muslin that just arrived in the US in recent times, if there was a shooting. The facts are far too late in coming out.

In Oregon, it's legal for a CHL (Concealed Handgun License) holder to carry concealed on a college campus.

But Colleges have their own rules, and if you are found carrying and you are a student or an employee ... oh my, you no longer are either!

Because Administration.

So legally, yes, you can carry on campus. As long as you are not a student or an employee, or you don't care if you have a job or an enrollment tomorrow.

I carried for 15 years and nobody knew; I figured I could always find another job somewhere, and I had no dependents. Not everyone I worked with had the same lack of committments.

These were real shootings by a mentally deranged 26 year old shooter. I just heard on KMOX the shooter was an immigrant from the UK.
