1. Nothing says "Christmas Shopping Season"...

Like being scoped by a black-clad sniper with an L96A1.

2. CNN reporting one person shot

but also said that other reports are upto 5 people. :(

5. Does this in any way involve the Dictator?

Or is it just coincidental?

7. Uhh...no...

But I was thinking....

9. Cheney's out in the midwest too someplace..

"hunting". There was a story about him wandering into some sporting goods store in Arkansas to buy suspenders and ammo. Awfully strange.

3. hope there is more on this soon.

13. They just said that a lot of police were covering Bush...

so whoever this is, they could have seen this as an opportunity...as in premeditated...

[niyad]

6. my first thought was--a staged assassination attempt that they will use as an excuse for

martial law. we KNOW they are going to try something.

10. Maybe they're trying to 'rachet up' the terror....

to help build their case...this is how republicans control people, you know. It's probably just a jilted lover or a disgruntled employee...

20. Well I hate to reply to myself...

But, Anderson Cooper just said the kid; 1.just broke up with his girlfriend, and 2. just lost his job.....I hope my intuition is as good about the caucuses...

12. Oh, 2 suspects....

Hmmm...blows my theory...

[1corona4u]

14. They said it appears to be completely random...

as in who was getting shot at...

11. God bless the second amendment.......

Now let's make sure all those crazy, gun-grabbing liberals don't try to sneak more gun legislation by us. WE have the right to have as many guns as we want. The gun-grabbers don't have any rights. Let's keep it that way.

17. yes, thank god

the gunmens' right to bear arms was in no way impeded. Too bad about those shoppers' right to live. right to guns trumps right to live, donchuknow?

[1corona4u]

15. All of the wounded have been removed...

suspect may be wounded-self inflicted...

[slackmaster]

16. No doubt the mall is posted as a gun-free zone

With no actual security measures to physically prevent people from bringing in weapons.

[zanne]

18. What does that have to do with anything?

Legal or illegal, guns have only one use; killing.

[slackmaster]

19. Not so

I collect them. Mine are no more used for killing than a coin collection is used as spending money.

My point is that people who are intent on committing criminal acts aren't deterred by laws and rules.

[zanne]

21. Er.........

Not to be too argumentative or anything, but I think my stamp collection is alot less dangerous than your gun collection. And if a kid in the neighborhood or in my family takes one of my stamps, it won't kill anybody.
