   I live in the Texas Hill Country @Gefn , El Paso is probably closer to Phoenix than it is to me.  Appreciate your concern, though.

By the time you get to Phoenix she’ll be rising ......l

Patrick Crusius: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

The absolute most important fact you need to  know.  When seconds count the police are only minutes away!  
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Pretty sure the NRA had nothing to do with this - or any other mass shooting in the past 60 years or more.

So the fact that we went almost a full year with hardly any mass shootings and now all of a sudden we're supposed to believe everyone just DECIDED to start shooting people up again?

Yeah, right. Something bigger is afoot.

That doesn't stop the democommies from blaming them.

I think we'll find out there's a significant mental health history with the shooter.

The people who are now dead won't care why the guy who killed them did it. 

The lesson to be learned is that the only person who can protect you is you!

It's a combination of brain dead and knee jerk that makes these idiot leftists instantly jump on the NRA for something they have absolutely NOTHING to do with.  *****rollingeyes*****
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

The first time I saw the manifesto it was attributed to an Afghani- that's what was debunked. Unclear if it's legit.

Female Congressman Escobar ranting about the manifesto when its provenance in unclear. She said shooter came from outside of El Paso and people there have been nothing but welcoming to those who "come to the nation's front door." I think she was referring to illegal aliens.

  • All deserve a trial if accused
Police chief of El Paso, Greg Allen, says he could get the death penalty, that is, little consolation.

See coverage from Juarez, obviously a big story there too.

Otherwise, these kids, they see this stuff on the web, racist stuff I'm sure and play video games, their mental health might be influenced by this. No, I don't call for censorship but I'm sure some of these guys get a negative influence and are a bit like in that movie 'Talk Radio.'

Surveillance video shows gunman entering Walmart in El Paso; he's believed to be a 21-year-old man. Motive unknown


These are the pics you will see ad nauseum for next several days or weeks proving that guns kill, when wielded by a while man.

Gefn, I am ok. Was traveling today so could not post. Now in hotel and saw Gov. Abbott talk about 20 dead, 24 wounded - just terrible.  The killer lives in Dallas and came to El Paso on purpose to kill people.  I went past Huntsville, Texas, today and that is where our death row criminals are.  The man who did this today will die in Huntsville, Texas.

This legally armed military man rushed into action to protect children during El Paso attack

A gun-carrying good guy in El Paso, Texas, USA.

In every tragedy in this country we find out about the heroes who risk their own lives to try and help or save others. Already, El Paso is no exception.

Glen Oakley is one of those heroes. Oakley was in the Cielo Vista shopping mall Saturday when shots rang out and the violence and tragedy began to unfold outside of the Walmart next door. He was shopping in Foot Locker and heard the gunshots, he said. When he went into the mall he saw children running in fear and confusion.

"It was a whole bunch of kids in there," he told NBC affiliate KTSM. "I hope nothing happened to the kids. I tried to pick up as many as I could and bring them out with me."

"I pulled my gun out," he told the reporter, because Oakley is a licensed gun-owner and had his weapon with him. "When I hear gunshots I just think ... take cover, save whoever you can."

Parents were divorced in 2011. EPPD won't release name. Says there are looking at the 8chan manifesto but it is not confirmed it is his.

So the kid went to Plano Senior High. I'm not blaming the school, but it's one of those mega high schools we have here in Texas. In this case, the campus serves only two grades, 11&12, of nearly 3000 kids. Easy to slip through the cracks.

My kids are in a nearby school district, Coppell, which last year opened a 9th grade campus, and has HS enrollment approaching 4000. It's going to get worse, as a nearby mixed use development (Cypress Waters) will add another 10,000 residents to the area within the next few years.

My youngest son's a senior in HS, been in band four years, and plays football as well. He stays busy as can be, and it takes both of us parents to keep him on the straight and narrow. We like it here, but I'm uncomfortable with the size of the HS...it's gone from a 4A to a 6A in about 20 years, the time we've lived here.

I prefer smaller schools, with less opportunity for slipping through the cracks. I cherished my years at Gonzaga, when it had undergraduate enrollment of about 2000. I had classes as small as 5 students, usually less than 20. My largest classes were in my major, accounting, which were usually close to 80 or more.

What made that unique is I had one professor for over 30 hours, and he was considered God on campus, accounting for about 5 % of the undergrad population. He also signed his paycheck over to the university, as he owned a hugely successful CPA firm in Spokane.

He taught strict accounting theory, and rarely used numbers.

You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.
