Re: Reported: Active shooter in Odessa, TX
So, a murderer perpetrating the crime is down. However, was there actually one murderer or two? If so, which one did they get, the USPS truck or the Toyota? Garbage reporting.

Re: Reported: Active shooter in Odessa, TX
My point was obvious to most. The point is that the media says nothing about mass killings all over inner cities because they can't use it to pump an agenda. Most people really don't care about inner city shootings because they think it won't affect them. But random shootings are easy to utilize for fear purposes. Hope that helps you to better understand.Killadocg23 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 6:09 pmJust curious and a serious question. Why do people compare the two?

Re: Reported: Active shooter in Odessa, TX
Why? Because the grabbers want to cause problems for and to disarm folks that AREN'T causing any problems, that's why...but they NEVER say what they are going to do to stop violent criminals in Chicago and other big cities, who they KNOW are killing people. Their little schemes are only against us "flyover country deplorables" and NEVER about the violent gangs who continuously shoot and kill. They don't care about people being killed, they only care about disarming us. THAT'S why!Killadocg23 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 6:09 pmJust curious and a serious question.

Re: Reported: Active shooter in Odessa, TX
At one point they did report two shooters. Now they are saying one. I also just got a text saying one shot and one arrested. Maybe the reporting is just too early for accuracy.K.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 6:12 pm So, a murderer perpetrating the crime is down. However, was there actually one murderer or two?

Started as a traffic stop, started shooting.
Most likely the Toyota truck.
Grabbed a postal truck.
These people are going to cause us to loose our 2nd Amendment rights and we will live in a socialist nightmare.

I think that's a bridge too far even for CNN and the democrat party (BIRM).
So the cops stop a criminal and he carjacks another vehicle (a crime) and starts randomly shooting over 20 people (20 more crimes) and the pols are going to use this to try and pass more gun control?These people are going to cause us to loose our 2nd Amendment rights and we will live in a socialist nightmare.

Re: Reported: Active shooter in Odessa, TX
Just curious....is there any mention of what kind of firearms the shooter used? I haven’t seen anything in any of the articles I’ve seen so far.
