November 28, 201510 yr And I said "It's playing our AS IF", I did not say that it was a 100% sign that there were no hostages. As JD stated "The police generally will not return fire" I misunderstood your post, i guess you coukd say i didnt read the fine print. Most of what the media reports is generalized and is based on assumptions. While watching this play out the only thing I could tell that the media knew was factual was that it was snowing. For whatever reason they reminded us of that every chance they got, as if we couldn't see it on our own.
November 28, 201510 yr I am so tired of hearing about this damn crap every single week after week after week. This is what happens when certified crazies listen to Republican Presidential debates
November 28, 201510 yr Author For whatever reason they reminded us of that every chance they got, as if we couldn't see it on our own. Agreed, all channels kept repeating it.
November 28, 201510 yr Agreed, all channels kept repeating it. I flipped back and forth between CNN and fox, both kept talking about the snow, as if it had some importance. I kept scratching my brain then realized that the only thing that they could report on as factual at the time. My 3 year old walked into the room while there was a live shot on and said "Daddy its snowing." I couldn't help but laugh and tell her she could work for the media and be on TV someday. Seriously though, this is just another sad situation for our country. It will take some time to figure out what the real motive behind this is, but these type of things seem to be becoming common. Which is sad, to say the least. This man was obviously well trained or he would not have been able to shoot 5 police officers and walk out of the situation on his own. He is obviously proficient with a weapon, but seems to have other training IMO. I expect he's former military. I know, there we go with assumptions again, but that's just the feeling I get. Why he did this though, I have no idea. The scary thing is how many other idiots in the country have the ability to do the same thing?
November 28, 201510 yr I went ahead and changed the thread title since it was not AT a Planned Parenthood clinic. What was your information source for this headline change? CNN, Fox News, even Breitbart are all saying the shootings occurred AT a Planned Parenthood clinic/facility.
November 28, 201510 yr Author Reports are now saying there are dead. 3 dead in shooting at Colo. Planned Parenthood Planned Parenthood shooting: Police officer killed, suspect arrested in Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting - Story
November 28, 201510 yr What was your information source for this headline change? CNN, Fox News, even Breitbart are all saying the shootings occurred AT a Planned Parenthood clinic/facility. All the local news reporters changed in tial reports and then changed back. Police first reported to CNN that they did not see the man in PP and he was firing on the street I front of the shopping center.
November 28, 201510 yr I am so tired of hearing about this damn crap every single week after week after week. This is what happens when certified crazies listen to Republican Presidential debates Show me one quote of any Republican who would condone this or just shut up.
November 28, 201510 yr Author Very odd that he gave up, thankfully he did. The officer looks young too :(
November 28, 201510 yr Cops saying shooter using a "long" gun ' date=' so I guess some sorts of rifle. White Male in his forties.[/quote'] Most have been a Republican cop.
November 28, 201510 yr All the local news reporters changed in tial reports and then changed back. Police first reported to CNN that they did not see the man in PP and he was firing on the street I front of the shopping center. So you're saying now the original headline was correct?
November 28, 201510 yr Show me one quote of any Republican who would condone this or just shut up. Obviously, some people are thinking there's a connection between what happened in Colorado Springs today and recent Republican-led slams against Planned Parenthood. Time will tell if this factored into today's violence ... or whether this was about something else.
November 28, 201510 yr Author I'm not going to speculate if the person did this because of what others may have said about PP, that will come out later if there is a connection. But the issue here is that this is terrorism, even though sadly there was loss of life, there was a safe room at PP which I hear maybe a reason why there were not more deaths. The slain officer, 44-year-old Garrett Swasey, worked for the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs and was on campus about 10 miles away when the shooting broke out. He went to the scene "in support of an officer under fire," the school's chancellor said in a statement.
November 28, 201510 yr This is a terrible thing that happened today. No Republicans or anyone that I know wanted this to happen. The Republicans just want the killing of innocent babies stopped.
