At least it wasn't an assault rifle.

Hitting 12 officers (killing 5, with chest and back wounds to several others) while injuring only 2 civilians is a lot for a former reserves carpentry and masonry specialist with a single assault rifle. The targets no doubt became much more difficult after the first couple rounds had been touched off.

Not an impossible feat and I am not prone to conspiracies on these sort of incidents, but I have to admit I am at least a little skeptical that Johnson acted alone.

I would assume that is why their is extensive crime scene analysis going on. Once they produce a map of the trajectories of the round fired and where the victims, and match rounds with type of weapons - it will probably be pretty obvious if their was 1 or more shooters.

Ten round magazine, semi automatic. I fail to see how it doesn't fit the narrative of an "assault rifle". Maybe the wood stock doesn't look scary?

An assault rifle is a selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine

I know right! It just doesn't look very scary. I'm sure if he had an AR-15 with a carrying handle on top the tragedy would have been much worse.

In my opinion, there is blood all over the hands of our shitty President tonight. This is his ****ing fault.

How is this not receiving votes as "quite possibly the stupidest comment I've ever read, on this forum or any other"? Or the poster being called a "****ing idiot"?

Because, based on the above comment, both would seem fairly accurate.

I'll wear it for going over the line. I stand by my assertion that more than any person OTHER THAN THE SHOOTER, the President is responsible for creating and fostering the belief among too many Americans that the police are the problem. The criminals are the problem. Are there bad cops? Of course and they should be dealt with accordingly. When you have 800,000 of anything you're going to have some bad apples. But to consistently and intentionally act and proclaim that the problem and issues lies with the men in blue is not only wrong and irresponsible, it's criminal. He should ask for forgiveness from the families of those slaughtered.

Bingo!

He is the:

Worst
President
Ever.

He makes Jimmy Carter look like Abraham Lincoln.

That is all.

I disagree. Although I am disappointed with Obama (and since I'm an equal opportunity abuser), I think George W. Bush was much worse. Sure seems funny that no republican I've ever seen posting here on the various political blogs agrees with me. Bush spent a billion dollars and got 4,000 of our best and brightest killed in a war (Iraq) that, by all appearances to me, was declared solely because Saddam tried to kill Bush Sr.

That was much dumber than anything Obama has ever done. Oh and I forgot to mention that the economy crashed on Bush's watch as well, so there's that, too.

Although I greatly fault Obama for not prosecuting the banksters that crashed our economy, I feel like Bush could have prevented some of the worst effects of the 'great recession' if he had only instructed the examiners at the Fed to look in the loan files a little closer when doing safety and soundness examinations so as to make sure that appraisals were fair, that the appraisal values resembelled something akin to normal and that the borrower's creditworthiness was based on a throrough examination of their credit and not on a 'drive-by let's make this loan work' review.

Suffice to say that there's a lot more to judging a president than whether he was supportive (or not) of our law enforcement officers, even if your statement has a small ring of truth to it.

There's some truth to your ramblings, and plenty of wrongs. But this pisses me off, and if you TRULY believe this, then you're a bigger buffoon than I already thought, and trust me, that's saying something.

For anyone to truly think that George W Bush, as big a supporter of the military as there is, would thoughtlessly send our troops into harms way "solely because Saddam tried to kill Bush Sr" proves that you should immediately look into assisted, managed elderly care and have all your sharp instruments taken away from you.

I hate people like you. Stupid ****.

The Fed doesn't provide loans for home purchases.

[SB Shock]

Remember when the world gave Obama the Nobel Peace prize for hoping he would accomplish something. I wonder if the Nobel committee would say his accomplishments (or lack of) were worthy now?

No, you're correct, BUT THEY DO EXAMINE BANKS.

Knowing them, they'd probably go back for seconds.
