How ironic that you are condemning the police and calling it a "murder" without due process. Where in the article does it even mention the race of the asshole? Why do you not condemn the person that shot 8 people? You are being ridiculous...CM189191 said:

Hmm, I don't know if there were any gun owners/carriers among the victims. If a few did have a gun, odds are there wouldn't be 8 dead.CM189191 said:

Yeah, pretty sure they are referring to the guns the shooter used. I have yet to see otherwise.CM189191 said:

"Investigators said the gunman arrived at his former home Sunday at about 8 p.m., armed with multiple weapons. The man then went on a rampage, shooting nine people, seven fatally, inside the home and in the back yard, before being fatally shot by a Plano police officer."
It's a hopeless situation...0 -
Did I misread that, or did you call the cop a murderer for shooting a guy who just killed 8 people? A guy who was still armed, and with wounded victims who needed help?CM189191 said:

Seriously? They should let him kill everyone else too and then hope he surrenders peacefully?
Comments like that make it very difficult to take criticism of police seriously.0 -

As others said, not to mention its a little racist to assume the guy killing 8 people is black, but go ahead and accuse the police of racism.0

I don't know the odds specifically of course. Using rational thinking, if any of the 8 were armed there would be a higher chance of survival and they could defend themselves against someone else with a gun. It also means they could all still die, which is the worst case scenario we are already dealing with. I am not a gun advocate or supporter, but this only makes sense.dignin said:

Maybe we should give the homeless guns instead of housing?

I wonder how many times these parents argued with people on-line regarding right to ownership and not to 'punish' good owners?

It's pretty tragic, and telling, that a considerable number of people believe that the answer to a gun massacre like this is for more people to have guns.

What does that have to do with accusing police of murder who killed an ARMED man who just killed 8 people, barricaded inside a house with victims?CM189191 said:

The article lacks details, but those victims would not be able to receive help until the threat was eliminated. Killing the guy was most likely the only way to aide any of the survivors. But you're worried about the poor guy who just shot 8 people instead? I'm more concerned about the people he just shot and will likely keep shooting, but hey, that's just me.0 -

By continually reaching so much to make your point stick (like this ridiculous assertion)... you have actually weakened your position by demonstrating you are a person incapable of objective thought when it comes to this issue.
There will be no BLM demonstrations protesting the use of force in this case... unless they can gather a group of members as devout as yourself for cause that is (very unlikely).
