Another maniac with a gun fires into a crowd.

Bump.

A hatchet-wielding man, armed with what turned out to be a pellet gun, attacked a movie patron at a theater outside of Nashville Wednesday and sprayed others with pepper spray before he was shot dead by police, authorities said.

The suspect was identified by police as 29-year-old Vincente David Montano, most recently of Nashville. He was shot dead by SWAT officers as he exited the theater's rear door, police said.
 
What does that story have to do with "shooting into a crowd?"

(CNN)The man who was killed Wednesday by Nashville police after he allegedly went after moviegoers with a hatchet and pepper spray had been committed to a mental institution four times, police spokesman Don Aaron told reporters.

Vincente David Montano was committed twice in 2004 and twice in 2007, said Aaron, citing officials in Rutherford County. Montano had been arrested Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 2004 in a case of assault and resisting arrest, police said.

"We have no motive for (Wednesday's attack)," Aaron said.

Montano had an airsoft pistol with him that he aimed and fired at police in the theater, Aaron said. Such a weapon looks like a semiautomatic pistol but fires plastic or BB pellets.

Shooting plastic pellets at police might be "suicide by cop" but it wasn't "shooting into a crowd." In fact, laws against providing the mentally ill with firearms seem to have worked in this case.

and if you're yellow?
 
" a firefight ensued"

You hear about 20-30 shots fired in the firefight with the man with a pellet gun.

Obviously, the only shots fired were by Police.

This is the thing. Recently trying to discuss this with friends and acquaintances has led me to wonder why we're even friends.

Did you see that the police to Dylan Roof to Burger King when he was in custody? I'm sure they would have done the same for a black shooter, except he/she would never have made it into custody. :confused:
 
Really?



Are you going to be checking the Chicago Sun Times every day, or would that be racist?
 
More dialog based on false premises pushed by the media.

But damn it! They have a consensus, so it is a settled issue!

Ban all guns so that shooters can have more opportunity to do their cowardly deed!

:cool:

Make every home and public place in America a GUN FREE ZONE!

If any of this is directed at me, know that I am only speaking to national news and local news. And of course it has a slant and we do not know everything. There are trends that at the very least are disturbing. Why does the media never suggest that a black shooter is mentally ill?

Oh, I'm pro gun and obtaining my CCW, so there's no need to make that assumption. I'm opposed to illegal gun ownership, and fully aware that gun control laws don't deter criminals.

And what trends are those?

Actually, gun control laws do deter gun crime.

The Usa has the weakest gun control and highest gun crime of any developed nation.

The USA is a death cult republic posing as a free democracy.

Then explain why the municipalities and states with the strictest laws against gun ownership and use are the ones where gun violence spikes...

I would prefer you explain it, thanks.



One day, after all your public venues have metal detectors and trigger-happy armed security with Grade 9 educations and you start whining about the loss of your Freedom, you'll realize you turned your society into a third world dictatorship...in return for gun ownership for all.

But I doubt it.
 
Yes there are those who prefer tyranny as it provides the illusion of safety.

;)

Criminals are not the brightest or most moral kids on the block, but they realize it is much better to steal from the disarmed than it is the armed.

Why Lance, you're employing histrionics I would normally associate with a hormonally imbalanced teenage girl.

What about the women, children and lancecastor?

You just don't lead them as much!

Ain't war hell?



:D

What are your definitions of "developed nation" and "death cult republic"?
