Blame Game: Oregon Mall Shooting!

SuspectJacobRoberts.jpg
Jake Roberts, 22 years old is the shooter in the Clackamas Town Center tragedy.
Jacob "Jake" Tyler Roberts, age 22 was the confirmed shooter. Of course, many describe this person who was "soft-spoken", "polite" and "full of life". Yeah, did they forgot to mention that he's a terrorist as well!

Once again, you're looking into a window of the disturbed individual. The top ten differences of White terrorism, you can't talk about it! It will offend the conservative media! The gun lobbyist hate when it singles them out! But they'll be willing to take firearms away from Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims.

Jake Roberts is a WHITE TERRORIST.

Jared Lee Loughner is a WHITE TERRORIST.

Wade Page is a WHITE TERRORIST.

James Holmes is a WHITE TERRORIST.

Thomas Lane is a WHITE TERRORIST.

The issue will reach the president and he'll issue a statement pleading for sympathy and condolences of those lost this week. The mentally disturbed and firearms once again will be swept under the table for the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling. Then of course the left wing media will rage about Republicans being stubborn on raising taxes. The right wing media will rage about Democrats focusing on higher spending and the union protester hitting that asshole Steven Crowder. None of these issues will address the fact that more Americans (likely WHITE MALES) are buying firearms at a rapid pace. The National Rifle Association is breathing a sigh of relief now that the media isn't going to turn this tragedy into a political event.

These issues are never going to make it to the president nor his political party. As a concealed carry gun owner, I understand that whenever the police are pulling me over, they're inching for the trigger. They think of Blacks as hostile drivers and show more tensions of being in an event of a criminal act. They'll shoot multiple times and question last. Take the incident in Cleveland, Ohio. That issue will be brought up later.

Or perhaps the young man who was walking in New York and he was shot at point blank range by an unknown assailant. The NYPD are looking for the shooter and yet there's hundreds of people in the vicinity and yet they don't know anything! This will be discussed also.

But for this tragedy and many others, guns are the reason for our turmoils and it's likely that the cycle of death will always end with a bullet in someone!
Cindy Ann Yuille and Steve Forsyth were killed in this horrible tragedy.
The Columbian reports that Roberts shared big plans with friends. He told an ex-girlfriend that he was going to buy the Southeast Portland sandwich shop where he worked. He mentioned to a former roommate that he was moving to Hawaii. And he told others that he had just inherited a lot of money.

But days after he was supposed to fly away to his new life, the 22-year-old Portland man instead drove to Clackamas Town Center. Wearing a white hockey mask and a vest holding ammunition, investigators said Roberts stormed into the mall with an AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle and opened fire on holiday shoppers at the food court, killing two people.

As shoppers scattered, Roberts continued his rampage through the mall, wounding a teenage girl, Clackamas County sheriff's officials said. He made his way along a back hallway and down a stairwell before fatally turning the weapon on himself.
In the mind of a killer were thoughts of failure!
A Facebook page that appears to be Roberts' says his interests included shooting, and that he liked TV shows "Breaking Bad" about a terminally ill man who turns to a life of crime, the irreverent animated show "South Park," "Dexter" about serial killers and the film "Requiem for a Dream" about addiction and the drug trade. He also liked heavy rap, metalcore, the Beatles and baseball.

A photo at the top of the page shows street art that has the word "cancelled" written over "Follow Your Dreams."

He was described as soft-spoken and polite at Oregon City High School, where he went for one year and graduated in 2008. He went to Clackamas Community College for a year.

Audrey Rook, who was a classmate at Milwaukie High School, recalled that "all he cared about was making people laugh." He was the kind of person who would go across the street to help an elderly neighbor bring in groceries, she said.

Friends are now searching for clues to what might have happened or signs that Roberts was having problems. He had broken up with a girlfriend over the summer, one friend said. He had quit his job behind the counter last month at Big Bertha's sandwich shop on Southeast Hawthorne, said acquaintance Arianna Johnson, who would see him regularly at the shop.

He told Johnson and others that he had just inherited a large sum of money from a relative and was considering moving to Hawaii, traveling the islands and deciding whether to stay there permanently.

"He was leaving all of a sudden," Johnson said.

The Hawaii plans were a shift from what he told a former girlfriend as recently as September. At that point, Roberts said he was giving up his idea to become a firefighter because the sandwich shop owner was going to sell him the business, said Brittany Curry, who dated Roberts for about six months and still occasionally talked to him after their breakup in February.

Samantha Bennett, a friend and former neighbor, said she had known Roberts since they were students at Lane Middle School in Southeast Portland and described him as an outgoing and energetic guy. He lived in a unit across from her at the Overlook Pointe Apartments, not far from Clackamas Town Center, but moved out in July.

Bennett and her boyfriend used to hang out with Roberts, she said, watching movies, playing video games, going out to bars and swimming in the complex's pool. "He was always doing flips, joking around," she said. She hadn't seen him since he moved out, she said, wondering what might have happened.

"It seemed like he was doing well," she said. "What changed in his head?"

Police searched a Portland house in the 7300 block of Southeast 84th Avenue where Roberts apparently was living most recently with friends.

Bobbi Bates, a neighbor across the street, said she saw Roberts leave Tuesday with a guitar case "like he was late for something."

"He tore out of the house, threw the guitar case in the back of the car and tore off," she said.

We at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to survivors of the shooting. We also send our condolences to the families of Cindy Ann Yuille and Steve Forsyth.

Tragedy In Oregon!


Police and medics work the scene of a multiple shooting at Clackamas Town Center Mall in Clackamas, Ore., Tuesday. A gunman is dead after opening fire in the Portland, Ore., area shopping mall Tuesday, killing two people and wounding another, sheriff's deputies said.
Major shooting at a mall near Portland, Oregon.
We at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those who were loss last night in this week's tragedy.

Another mass shooting in a suburban shopping center and yet no talks about gun control by either the president or members of Congress.

It goes to show you that the gun lobbyists are stronger than those who pass the laws.

As a concealed gun carrier, I understand that I am look upon as a "thug" by most in the United States, but whenever a White male does this stuff, he's looked at as a "disturbed individual" and the such.

Clackamas County, Oregon is the place where a gunman opened fired upon shoppers at the Clackamas Town Center.

photoThe gunman dressed in camouflage went into the food court of the shopping center and started shooting at individuals. The individual isn't named yet but we'll keep you posted on the latest updates.

The Columbian is covering this and it's going to change. The identities of the dead and wounded were not released Tuesday. A woman, estimated to be 18 years old, was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to OHSU Hospital in Portland where she remains in serious condition. She is expected to survive, authorities said.

In an 8:30 p.m. press briefing, Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said four SWAT teams searched the 1.4 million-square-foot mall for people who barricaded themselves for safety. An estimated 10,000 people were at the mall at the time of the shooting, he said.

Roberts said no motive had been determined yet.

Witnesses say a gunman armed with a semi-automatic weapon opened fire after entering the mall through the Macy’s department store entrance, then moved to the food court, where he continued shooting.

About 100 officers descended on the mall within minutes of the 3:30 p.m. shooting.

Lt. James Rhodes of the sheriff’s office said the gunman acted alone, something that was uncertain after the shooting. Asked if there was an accomplice, Rhodes said he did not know.

He said the gunman, a white adult male, apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Though the sheriff’s office has tentatively identified the shooter, Sgt. Adam Phillips said, it is not releasing his name.
Horrible scene out of Clackamas County, Oregon.
He said law enforcement officials did not fire their weapons in the mall.

The mall was closed after the shooting and will remain closed today, Phillips said.

An employee in the mall, Evan Walters, told KATU-TV that he and 10 others were in a shop near where the shooting started.

“It was kind of surreal, because we hear pops and loud noises all the time because we’re right here by the food court, but it’s never been anything like that,” he said. “It was very definite gunshots. I think most all of us knew it was gunshots. There really was no rhyme or reason to them. There were many in a row.”

People on the scene reported hearing up to 60 shots. The number of rounds fired was not reported by the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

Juan Cole: Top Ten Differences....

The mass shooter James Holmes is a "WHITE TERRORIST".
The Niggerization of President Barack Obama continues. The right wing is on the attack of UN ambassador Susan Rice. They're doing a Niggerization of her over the five appearance on Sunday news programs over the ongoing (and beating the horse dead) Benghazi tragedy.

Republicans were crowing about the Department of Justice and Homeland Security's crackdown on domestic extremism. The Republicans were upset that a declassified memo about the rise of right wing extremism had conservatives blasting the president and others for singling them out as potential threats to society.

During the Aurora, Colorado shooting, numerous people were killed and injured by James Holmes, a mentally disturbed human being. What Juan Cole points out in this piece is that the media doesn't consider him a White terrorist.

I agree.
Juan Cole wrote the top ten differences between White Terrorist and Others.
1. White terrorists are called “gunmen.” What does that even mean? A person with a gun? Wouldn't that be, like, everyone in the US? Other terrorists are called, like, “terrorists.”

2. White terrorists are “troubled loners.” Other terrorists are always suspected of being part of a global plot, even when they are obviously troubled loners.

3. Doing a study on the danger of white terrorists at the Department of Homeland Security will get you sidelined by angry white Congressmen. Doing studies on other kinds of terrorists is a guaranteed promotion.

4. The family of a white terrorist is interviewed, weeping as they wonder where he went wrong. The families of other terrorists are almost never interviewed.

5. White terrorists are part of a “fringe.” Other terrorists are apparently mainstream.

6. White terrorists are random events, like tornadoes. Other terrorists are long-running conspiracies.

7. White terrorists are never called “white.” But other terrorists are given ethnic affiliations.

8. Nobody thinks white terrorists are typical of white people. But other terrorists are considered paragons of their societies.

9. White terrorists are alcoholics, addicts or mentally ill. Other terrorists are apparently clean-living and perfectly sane.

10. There is nothing you can do about white terrorists. Gun control won’t stop them. No policy you could make, no government program, could possibly have an impact on them. But hundreds of billions of dollars must be spent on police and on the Department of Defense, and on TSA, which must virtually strip search 60 million people a year, to deal with other terrorists.

Conservatives are so sensitive to the issue of being single out at extremists. This toxic environment caused by the likes of Fox News, talk radio and The Drudge Report has many White men becoming unhinged.

How many White people threatened the president?

How many anti-Black, anti-Hispanic, anti-gay, and anti-Muslim websites are out there?

Colorado Man Threatens To Kill Barack Obama!

Mitchell Kusick is in federal custody after he plotted to carry out a mass murder and assassination attempt against President Barack Obama. 
For one thing, the election must have been devastating to the political foes of President Barack Obama.

The post election hangover seems to be like the Pandora's box of ignorance! The Republicans are becoming unhinged.

Inside that bubble of Fox News, talk radio and the occasional clicks of The Drudge Report or The Blaze, you have many Republicans upset over the president's trouncing of Mitt Romney.

There's no honeymoon for the president. The president already going through his second term in his first term! The Republicans and their conservative allies are doubling down on the racism, vile threats, and their stupidity.

The talk of the debt ceiling, the scandal with then CIA chief David Petraeus, his successor General John Allen, Paula Broadwell and Jill Kelley, and the Republicans obsession with Benghazi has President Barack Obama doing a national press conference today. The president will address most of these issues and of course take his shots at Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the party's minority leader.

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-California, Minority Leader) is probably going to abandon her attempts to retake the gavel in 2014. She is possibly going to resign as the leader of the Democratic Party and hand it over to members who could aggressively take on the Republicans. She will continue to be a member of Congress.

Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, the Republican floated around as a potential candidate for 2016 warns his fellow Republicans that if they don't get out of that bubble of "stupidity", they're finished.

1 + 19 years if he's convicted of threatening the president.
Senate-elect Ted Cruz of Texas has won on the strength of the Tea Party to beat the opponent in the Republican primary. Cruz easily won the general election. Cruz who was the next Hispanic-American to be elected to the folds of the Republican Party warned the party that they better move past the attacks of the Black and Hispanic community.

He knows that his state is a minority-majority and Whites are declining in that state by a rapid rate. With the negative reactions from Hispanics and Blacks who aren't in support of the Republicans, in a decade, there's talk of Texas may eventually go to the Democrats.

The exit polls stated that Hispanics support of President Barack Obama surpassed for the first time. Over 72% of the electorate voted overwhelmingly for him and less than 25% for Mitt Romney.

The Black community has supported President Barack Obama overwhelmingly again by 95%, yet again!

The reasons to why Blacks and Hispanic Americans supporting the president over Republicans, the not-so-subtle attacks upon these groups and the dog whistle politics by those in the conservative media.

This individual who I am writing about is named Mitchell Kenneth Kusick, and he's another disturbed person. A man who is visibly upset over the reelection of President Barack Obama took to Facebook (no surprise) or in front of person about it! He wanted to vent off about this. He manages to make threats against the president. Not cool at all! Especially after a tragedy that occurred in the state in late July, real smart, Kusick.

Drop the "k" and just say "u sick"! This guy is sick!

The suburban Denver man has been arrested after telling his therapist he wanted to shoot children, kill people on Halloween and kill President Barack Obama, federal court records show.

Mitchell Kenneth Kusick, of Westminster, was being held Tuesday on suspicion of a federal charge of threats against a president. He identified himself as a student at Colorado Mesa University in western Colorado, investigators said.

Obtained by KUSA-TV, the man wanted to duplicate the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado this year.

Jefferson County court records show he told his therapist about wanting to shoot students at a trick-or-treat event at Standley Lake High School.
A smirking smile.
Federal court records say Kusick said he took a shotgun from his aunt's house and tried to buy ammunition. He told his therapist on October 29 about his plan and allegedly said he wanted to go down in history as the "guy who killed Obama." His comments came days before the president held a campaign rally in Boulder.

Kusick also said he was obsessed with the deadly shootings at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech, according to court records.

The therapist called police, and Kusick was placed on a mental health hold at a hospital.

According to court records, Kusick told investigators he also studied this summer's Aurora movie theater shooting in which 12 people were killed, and he talked about what the gunman did wrong.

Online court records didn't list the name of Kusick's attorney.

A detention hearing is scheduled Friday.

It's Just A Piece Of Paper!

Zina Houghton was the shooting suspect's target. She was killed after the shooter, husband Radcliffe Houghton was told not to be near her. The restraining order that was filed against him was supposed to protected her! It triggered the shooter to snap. This leads to a controversial issue with the mentally disturbed and firearms.
Part I - The Restraining Order

The Wisconsin spa shooting tragedy has caught the attention of many Americans. Of course its driven by so many culture war issues. First let's take a moment to send our condolences to the victims of this horrible tragedy. Second, this should give pause to why even a restraining order isn't going to stop a deranged individual.

A restraining order is granted to the individual by the court. It's meant to be a protection from a harasser. 

In the mind of a person served a restraining order, SNAP!

Radcliffe Houghton is the perfect example of the mentally disturbed. According to family members of both him and his wife Zina, they were having a difficult marriage. Zina tried to protect herself from an individual who was known to have tendencies of violence. 

This didn't stop him. After he was told by a judge to forfeit his firearms, he went on to purchase another firearm. Instead of getting help for himself, he decides that since he's gotten a restraining order! His life was crumbling and he wanted revenge!

He accused his wife of cheating on him! He threw acid on her. He slashed her tires and threaten to burn her with gasoline. He had thrown her clothes outside and poured tomato juice on them and her vehicle.

He was deranged. For all the things that were described by most in the media, one thing is clear! He had a motive! He wanted to show the world that: "if [I] could not have her, no one could!"

Radcliffe Houghton, age 45 went into the Azana Spa near Brookfield Mall in Wisconsin. He managed to take three lives before taking his own life! 

Part II - Taboo Of Interracial Love
Mass shooter Radcliffe Houghton.

Now onto the issue of interracial couple! Once a taboo, many interracial couples are getting married. Marriage by White women and Black men are on the rise! That has those in the conservative/White supremacist bubble angry!

A product of an interracial marriage is Barack Obama, the first Black president. Born to an African father and American white mother, the Democratic Party's standard bearer is the first elected leader of color.

What gives the notion of a browner nation is the Non-Hispanic White population is declining! White people make up 74% of the nation's population. White men men are declining in population. That has White supremacists highly upset. They are distraught over the fact that 2012 is the beginning of a browner nation. In approximately 40 years, Hispanics/Latinos will become the second largest birth population. They already make up 15% of the nation's population. 

As of May 2012, the first signs of a decline race started when it was calculated that interracial babies are growing faster than non-Hispanic Whites. 

Alright Radcliffe Houghton was married to his wife Zina. She was white and he was Black. 

Already, you probably got White supremacist and conservative websites already trying to spin this into the infamous stereotype of "BLACK ON WHITE" crime. 

The theme of most extremists is their perceived threat of the Black man who rapes White women or the thought of killing the White man! They think the Black man is stealing from the White man by looting and rioting. They think the Black community is pillaging from the White man by taking handouts like food stamps and welfare.

The interracial factor is a taboo still in some households in America. It's still a controversial issue with family members who have conservative views. Although equally, liberals, moderates and conservatives all warming up to interracial marriage, it's still a catch up for conservatives. Liberals and moderates are more willing to accept interracial marriage

What if your son brought home a White woman?

What about your daughter bringing home a Black man?

Would your parents approve of this relationship?

Would your family member (i.e. sister, brother, grandparents) would approve of it?

Whether it's a straight or gay couple, interracial love is rising!

Part III - Bullets With No Name!

Just this year alone, we seen multiple mass shootings in 2012. The Republican Party and even the Democratic Party have became very cautious when it comes to guns.

I mean I know I am an owner of a firearm. I don't have to be a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association. I am familiar with the tactics by the gun lobbyist group and their attempts to scare up fundraising.

The reason why Republicans are trying to push this narrative the president is coming for your guns is pretty much the same old strategy of fear-mongering.

No one is coming the guns!

The likelihood of a Barack Obama victory is possible (once from very strongly). The candidacy of Mitt Romney doesn't bring ease to those gun owners as well. What brings gun owners out in droves is the liberal with a record of trying to stop firearm. Has the president signed legislation that restricts firearms?

NO!

The Republicans inserted legislation to allow firearms in national parks. Firearm sales are on the rise and many irrational Americans are stockpiling bullets for the "GREAT RACE WAR".

Pop singer Chris Brown has a restraining order against him after a violent confrontation with Rihanna. The pop singers are reportedly back together.
Part IV - Conclusion

Radcliffe Houghton is a monster. I know he's was an emotional train wreck. I can understand having dealing with heartbreak. But for him and many others, letting go of the ones you've love is harder than a piece of paper.

That restraining order doesn't mean much to a deranged individual. It's a trigger!

I wish things could have turned out well! But unfortunately, Houghton didn't want to abide to a court order!

How can a piece of paper protect a victim when it's not reliant on stopping the perpetrator (from causing harm)?

Blame Game: Wisconsin Spa Shooting!

Radcliffe Houghton standing in pose with firearm. He is responsible for a mass shooting at suburban spa and salon in Brookfield, Wisconsin. He committed suicide after he killed his wife and injured others.
The media reported that a man went into a suburban spa on the premises of a Wisconsin mall. This person shot and killed three before he turned the gun on himself. President Barack Obama, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and Republican nominee Mitt Romney sent their condolences to the families of the victims.

The media is trying to figure out how this tragedy happened. They think that Radcliffe F. Houghton was distraught over a pending divorce. The man opened fire injuring numerous others.

But the question that most should wonder, how come this person had a firearm when he held a restraining order?

How come this individual wasn't looked at as mentally disturbed or likely to cause/inflict harm upon someone after his estranged wife reported he slashed the tires of her vehicle?

And why isn't this a flag of the growing issue with firearms and the mentally disturbed?

What you're expected from the conservative media is basically the blame game!
Picture of shooting victim, Zina Houghton. This is the wife of shooter Radcliffe Franklin Houghton.
Obviously I'm expected that Breitbart will report that the shooter is a registered Democrat!

The Drudge Report will lay out the "Scary Black Man With A Gun!" Of course, you see the picture above, it's the shooter. And of course in Romneyland and the conservative/white supremacist bubble, this is one of "OBAMA'S SONS!"

The White supremacists websites will harp about the epidemic of Black on White crime! Reason why, the wife is a White woman and the shooter is a Black man.

Conservatives will eventually attack the president for politicizing a tragedy! And they're still harping on the Libyan attack also!

The National Rifle Association will rally their fundraising efforts by saying that this is a gateway for President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to take away firearms. There's no legislation proposed or even thought of during this lame duck session of the U.S. Congress. Although the president supports the ban on dangerous assault weapons in the city, Republicans would gladly try to say "Obama's coming for the guns" regardless of what he says. They're sketchy on former governor and perennial candidate Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee. He once supported the assault weapons ban and doesn't own firearms.

But the point of this is simple. If you look at the situation, our country is on the path to slow recovery. The Republicans have delayed progress for their lame attempts to stop the president.
Distraught and shock at such an event by a dangerous individual.
And it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Zina Houghton was killed when he approached the Azana Spa and Salon in Brookfield, Wisconsin.
He also taken the lives of two other women. One being a single mother of a teenager. Another one isn't confirmed but it's still pending.

The Brookfield Police and FBI are investigating the history of this man.

Houghton's father Radcliffe, Sr. express remorse and sorrow about this tragedy. His father released a statement expressing sorrow for all the victims lost or injured during this weekend tragedy.

As I went through the web, I've seen a website that is considered conservative. It's already going around.

So of course, the blame game is what conservatives play. They know that an unemployed firearm owner is likely going to commit an act of terror upon anyone when they're distressed. Houghton was unemployed, depressed and feuding with his wife. He had envisioned her probably cheating on him and among other things.

But since this is a Black person, it's another attempt of NIGGERIZATION of President Barack Obama.

The individual alone is the monster.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those who were lost in this senseless tragedy.

Tragedy In Wisconsin!

Radcliffe Franklin Houghton shot and killed numerous individuals before turning the gun on himself. The shooting in Brookfield, Wisconsin continues a trend of dangerous mass shootings. This is approximately three months since the Aurora, Colorado shooting in which James Holmes killed twelve and injured nearly 70 people.
There's late word that a mass shooter in Wisconsin is reported dead. The name is Radcliffe Franklin Houghton, a 45 year old man who was apparently shooting at employees at a local mall spa. One of the employees was the shooter's wife. The suspect killed himself at the scene.

The gentleman is an African American man.

In Brookfield, Wisconsin, about ten miles from Milwaukee, a mass shooting occurred near the Brookfield Mall. The shooting has causalities. According to the Associated Press, about three people are dead so far.

There's numerous individuals who were shot and injured.
The shooting was at a spa near the Brookfield Mall in Wisconsin.
The Azana Spa shooting was on Sunday. The motive of the shooting was an apparent domestic violence issue in which the shooter, probably his wife and another individual died in the shooting.

Soon we'll hear from condolences and sympathy from President Barack Obama, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

Of course since this is Black person involved, you'll eventually get the conservative media (or White supremacists, in general) agitated about the person's political affiliation, the epidemic of Black on White crime, conspiracies about the president coming for their guns (or in some case Mitt Romney coming for the guns)! 

You'll hear conservatives blame liberalism and Black leaders for this.

Of course, they'll ignore the fact this individual fits the notion of disturbed or the mentally challenged operating firearms.
Visual design of the Brookfield Mall in Wisconsin.
The NRA will denounce the shooting and say that it's not the firearm, it's the owner.

This is an ongoing story and we here at Journal de la Reyna will keep you posted on the latest developments.

We also send our condolences to those who were lost in this senseless tragedy.

Also sending our condolences to actor Alex Karras, famed football star who became the TV dad on 80s sitcom Webster, former presidential candidate George McGovern and former senator Arlen Specter.

Idaho Billboard Compares President To Aurora Shooter!

idaho billboard compares obama james holmes

Keep it real classy, conservatives. You complain about comedian Dane Cook making light of the controversial shooting incident that claimed twelve innocent lives, but yet compare our president to this deranged shooter James Holmes.

What is certain to draw ire of the survivors of this shooting as well as the supporters of President Barack Obama is a electronic sign in the city of Caldwell, Idaho.

The Huffington Post/Black Voices via The Idaho Statesman reported that the digital sign has sparked outrage in the community.

The giant sign on Franklin Road and North 21st Avenue features a photo of Holmes with the words, "Kills 12 in a movie theater with assault riffle, everyone freaks out," written under his picture, juxtaposed to a photo of Obama with the words, "Kills thousands with foreign policy, wins Nobel Peace Prize," written below.

The billboard often features anti-Obama messages, and is sponsored by The Ralph Smeed Foundation, the supporters of the late activist for libertarian causes in Idaho. Foundation member and former state lawmaker Maurice Clements, told The Idaho Statesman the billboard is a response to Obama's 'broken promise' to bring home the troops.

"We’re all outraged over that killing in Aurora, Colo., but we’re not outraged over the boys killed in Afghanistan,” Clements explained to the paper, and added that he's not trying to connect Obama to Holmes, he's just comparing the way society reacts. "We’re not saying that Obama is a lunatic,” he said.

Regardless of what the billboard is really comparing, the message is not going over well with the area's residents, who are outraged, calling it "offensive," "abhorrent," and "pathetic," reports NBC News.

Libertarians are conservative leaning voters who endorse Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico. And of course, the remnants of cult leader Texas Congressman, Republican perennial candidate for president Ron Paul.

While it's the freedom of speech and all, how low can these people go to taking down President Barack Obama. It's bad enough they can't figure out the president's religion, but to compare him to a mass murderer who had a choice to do something without prejudice is beyond the pale of the reality. Conservatives call him everything but Mr. President.

I am hoping they overreach enough that they'll end up hurting Mitt Romney. Because independent voters should look at this party as serious on issues. They've stomped their feet, move the goalpost and took the debate to the brink of economic chaos to defeat President Barack Obama.

They can't win on this anti-Obama crap. They have to have a decent plan that sells. They can't just wave a three page proposal that has nothing but tax cuts and deregulation. That stuff isn't going to solve the problems.

The key to economic stability is spending and the Republicans would rather waste time on trivial debates like repealing healthcare reform and holding administration officials in contempt.

Love Thy Father... Aurora Shooting Tragedy!

Gordon Cowden was a loving father of teenage children. At the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, gunman James Holmes opened fired killing him and eleven others. 
The Aurora shooting tragedy has claimed twelve lives. The American movie theater was the place where a deranged gunman opened fire on a crowd of moviegoers attending the Batman: The Dark Knight Rises premiere a week ago. Warner Bros., producer Christian Nolan, actors Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and  Anne Hathaway all send condolences to the victims of this horrible tragedy. 

The movie features Batman taking on Selena Kyle (Catwoman) and mercenary Bane. The movie is slated to take in nearly $1 billion in ticket sales. With the movie was the thought of thousands of fans waiting for midnight showings.

Remembered: The memorial service for movie theater shooting victim Gordon CowdenMidnight showings are a common theme of movie theaters who want to rake in thousands of dollars in first run features that are slated to be huge draws. The Dark Knight Rises,The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman, the upcoming Twilight movie, the upcoming Superman and Transformer movies are expected to draw millions in the coming years. These movies are always guaranteed to take in a huge opening.

This tragedy has opened up the debate over gun control. This tragedy has opened up the controversial issue because of the firearms used by James Holmes were considered once banned by the 1993 Assault Weapons Ban that was signed into law by then President Bill Clinton.

We focus on Gordon Cowden, a father who was killed during the tragedy. All Gordon wanted to do was to give his teenage children to see the premiere when James Holmes opened fire on the family. He was killed in front of his children. This callous young man right now may face the death penalty for this tragedy. As the Gordon is laid to rest, the world will at least know a little bit about him.

According to The Daily Mail Gordon Cowden, 51, was the oldest of the 12 people killed when a gunman opened fire at the Dark Knight Rises midnight showing last Friday. His teenage children escaped unharmed after they had gone with their father to see the blockbuster. 
Shock: The three daughters and ex-wife of Gordon Cowden leave the Pathways Church in Denver, Colorado after attending the memorial service for the 51-year-old
Gordon leaves behind a wife, a son and three daughters.
Mr Cowden lived in Aurora, the Denver suburb where the theater is located. A family statement described him as a 'true Texas gentleman' who loved the outdoors and owned his own business.


The memorial was also attended by Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan and Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates.
Later this week, families of other victims planned to say their final goodbyes.


His family said in a statement: 'A quick-witted world traveler with a keen sense of humor, he will be remembered for his devotion to his children and for always trying his best to do the right thing, no matter the obstacle.'

Carrying flowers and passing a large portrait of Cowden, about 150 mourners gathered for the memorial at a Denver church. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper paused at the photo before entering the church.

Ice-T Goes O.G. On Rush Limbaugh!

Ice-T is the "Original Gangsta"

In the wake of the Aurora shooting tragedy, many are coming to grips to how such a young man who had an inspiring future could become a killer. James Holmes, opened fired on moviegoers a week ago killing 12 injuring over 60. The rush to judgment argument comes in the form of blaming political views for the tragedy.

Conservatives are riled up over the fact that they're always blamed for anything that involves a mass shooting incident and the shooter happens to be a White person. They complain that media figures accuse conservatives of being responsible for inspiring mass shooters.

With all the overheated anti-Obama rhetoric, one is to believe that someone's who soaks up this rhetoric isn't prone to attack another person based on political affiliation.

Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin are front and center working at the crank up outrage machine. They're screaming at the top of their overpaid lungs that those evil traitors (uh I meant liberals and President Barack Obama) are blaming the Tea Party and "patriotic" Americans such as them for the gunman who mercilessly gunned down innocent victims.

Rapper Ice-T (Tracey Marrow), is the original gangsta (O.G.). The actor/rapper/media mogul is married to reality star and buxom beauty Coco Austin. The couple have been in the news lately for their reality television series Ice Loves Coco and they're attracting a strong following. Ice-T is the main star off the NBC police drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He's written a bestseller book based off his life as one of the country's most controversial rappers. He released eight albums under his name and numerous others with his group Body Count and his secondary group Sex Money & Gunz.

Ice-T has been a thorn to the conservative movement. When his group Body Count released the anti-police single Cop Killer, many activists including L. Brent Bozell and C. Delores Tucker were determined to put the chill on Ice-T.

Ice-T, Tupac Shakur, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas and Ludacris were subjected to boycotts by conservative activism.

Rush Limbaugh hits President Barack Obama over his statements of concern with firearms in the hands of the mentally insane. Limbaugh believes that the president's hasty reaction to blaming the firearm industry could disadvantage law abiding citizens from owning firearms. He took to notice to Ice-T's comments about "tyranny" when the government comes for the guns.

                             


According to the Huffington Post, Ice-T has some major beef with Rush Limbaugh, after the radio host marveled that he knew the meaning of the word "tyranny" on Tuesday.

Ice-T recently defended gun ownership in an interview on London news, calling the right to bear arms "the last form of defense against tyranny." Limbaugh praised his stance on the issue, but found his use of the word "tyranny" with a British "sophisticate" especially remarkable.

"He knew the word 'tyranny,'" Limbaugh said. "And he knows that tyranny comes from government representatives. Double impressive."

Ice-T did not take kindly to his remarks. “Rush Limbaugh said he was impressed I knew the word 'tyranny'... He's a racist piece of sh--,” on the rapper's official Twitter page.

Later, he responded to some of the replies, saying "Hahah some of y'all are saying Limbaugh is not racist?? Check this” and linked to an article called "Top 10 Racist Limbaugh Quotes." He also directed fans of Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly to "UNFOLLOW now."

Small Smiles: A Little Girl's Story!

Veronica Moser-Sullivan was the youngest victim of the Aurora tragedy. 
The tragedy in Aurora, Colorado is an ongoing issue. This is one of the worst shootings in American history.

This equals up to the mass shooting at Fort Hood Army Base, in Texas. Nidal Hasan was the military officer who opened fired on his fellow soldiers killing 13 and injuring numerous others. This tragedy was in November 2009. Conservatives were blaming President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder for the tragedy. They claim that the president didn't even want to acknowledge Hasan's ties to al-Qaeda and the Yemeni-American cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki. The cleric inspired the Christmas airline bomber, the Time Square bomber, the cargo airline bombing plot and the call for the assassination of a woman who wanted to mock prophet Mohammad. Conservatives want to say that Hasan is a terrorist. Some claim that he was a lone wolf gunman. Hasan is facing the death penalty if the Leavenworth officers find him guilty on mass murder. 

Shooting suspect James Holmes is accused of killing 12 and injuring over 60 people.
                                 
James Holmes could have been inspired by conservatives such as Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Of course, conservatives rush to blame the president for politicizing the event and blames liberals for rushing to judgment in determining this person is a conservative. Now if he was determined to be a conservative, they would make the claim that he was a "Democrat." Joel Pollak of Breitbart News has already put forth the notion that since he's a gun-lover and hoarding ammunition, he's a liberal Occupy Wall Street activist. But you also get the NRA warning that the president wanted to take guns the moment he's gotten into the White House. Of course, President Barack Obama hasn't signed any legislation that takes firearms. 

But of course, that hasn't stop activists like the current president of the NRA, the perennial candidate for higher office Wayne LaPierre. This gentleman has been on the speaking circuit trying to scare up some fundraising. This political debate over gun control is a controversial issue. The president and the Democrats are tepid in this because they know the conservatives are riled up and this issue will become a defining issue.

                     
Veronica Moser-Sullivan and mother Ashely Moser
Veronica and her mother Ashley Moser were attending the Batman movie when James Holmes attacked. Ashley suffered severe injuries. She had a miscarriage of her unborn child. She is now likely paralyzed and her daughter was killed by the gunfire.
Today we talk about the young girl who didn't even get an opportunity to see her future. And of course, the hardest thing to hear is the death of a small child by a firearm.

Veronica Moser-Sullivan was the youngest victim of this horrible tragedy. The little girl with her mother Ashley wanted to get a glimpse of the Batman movie. Holmes opened fire injuring Veronica and her mother.

Ashley was severely wounded. Her family told Ashley the tragic news of Veronica being killed. The family fears that if Ashley see the news of the tragedy, it may send her into shock! Ashley is pregnant and the shock could injure her child. The injuries could leave the young mother paralyzed. It was reported that her injuries took a toll on her unborn. The young mother had a miscarriage.

According to The Daily Telegraph UK, the young mother shot in the neck and stomach during the Colorado massacre was said to be "absolutely devastated" on Sunday night after finally being told of her six-year-old's daughter's death at the hands of gunman James Holmes.

"I don't know how but she still has the baby," her brother Robert Sierra told the Daily Mail. "It's a miracle as she was shot in the stomach."

Her grandmother Jean Moser told The Daily Telegraph that family members had been told that Ashley's condition was too serious and doctors had warned against telling her news of Veronica's death too early.

The heartbreaking tale emerged as the town of Aurora, near Denver, reels from one of the worst mass shootings in US history, which left 59 injured in addition to those who were killed.

On Sunday night Barack Obama was due to visit the town to meet victims and their families. The president has suspended his election campaign in the wake of the massacre. Mr Obama and Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, have come under pressure to address the issue of gun control in America.


Kaylan
13 year old girl named Kaylan tried to save the little girl lost in this horrible tragedy.
The tragedy has a shade of heroism. A teenager managed to rush to the aid of the young girl. The media announced that the young girl named Kaylan who is aged 13 rushed to the aid of Veronica. But with all the panic, some were told to leave the victims.

Many felt that this tragedy could have been avoided if some of the moviegoers would have been armed as well. That's the irrational thinking of people who want "to be the hero!" No one knew what the outcome would of been if you had a person shooting in the crowd.

Movie theaters aren't well protected. Anyone could enter a movie theater and let off a weapon of mass destruction let alone use of a firearm.

The stories of heroism and tales of survival brings some closure. You can't bring back the many lives lost under gunfire. From Aurora to Chicago. From the United States to Afghanistan, people are dying at the hands of firearms.We here at Journal de la Reyna mourn the lost of Veronica Moser-Sullivan and every other victim of this tragedy.

An Ohio Man Sacrificed His Life For His Girlfriend!

Matt McQuinn was a victim of the tragic Aurora shooting. He sacrificed his life to protect his girlfriend Samantha Yowler. The young couple were watching the Batman movie when the gunman James Holmes attacked the moviegoers. 

The Aurora tragedy has been in the news and stories of heroism keep our spirits up. The shooter, James Holmes is a 24 year old former medical student who opened fire on moviegoers at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, the last installment of the Batman franchise.

James Holmes appears in court in a state of daze and confusion. The judge in this case ordered Holmes held in custody under protective watch and solitary confinement. The charges are state and federal. The federal charges are for the shooting of three military officers. The nine that were killed were either protecting their girlfriends or the random person that Holmes shot as they fled the movie theater.

We at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this horrible tragedy. Due to all the media coverage, it's unlikely Holmes will get a fair trial. The media is fully covering this tragedy and I am guessing most of the world is focused on this tragedy.

President Barack Obama went out to Colorado to comfort the families of the victims lost this weekend. The political warfare continues when conservatives online agitate the debate over how Americans are to mourn the lost of people. The political debate over guns will be front and center again. The National Rifle Association and gun shops are going to milk this for a profit. The NRA will send newsletters to emails saying that this tragedy is not the fault of the firearms, but a deranged individual. [Liberal] leaders like President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi are going to find ways to take away [our] guns. With the debate over firearms comes the debate over the way the president handles tragedies. Anything the president does will rile up conservatives. No matter what he does, they'll complain.

The irrational comments from those in the right wing are outrageous and callous at best. It's like the type of stuff that creates people like this James Holmes. Whether he done it or not, conservatives will continue their reactionary outrage over things that don't affect their lives.

Today we will talk about an Ohio man who sacrificed his own life to protect his girlfriend and her brother.

Matt McQuinn was a resident of Springfield, Ohio a city 20 miles east of Dayton. He and his girlfriend Samantha Yowler and brother Nick were attending the premiere of the blockbuster movie The Dark Knight Rises, unaware of the young man who came into the theater. The young man who was apparently wearing a tear gas mask and armed with multiple firearms including an AR 47 with heavy magazine shooting at the crowd.
Matt McQuinn was killed protecting his girlfriend.
As he was shooting into the moviegoers, Samantha was struck two times. Matt reacted like most people and took cover trying to protect her. He was shot three times. He was one of the many victims still in the movie theater after the injured and surviving escaped Holmes.

Matt was a 27 year old man who grew up in Dayton, Ohio lived in Springfield. He then moved out to the Denver area with his girlfriend Samantha. They were employed at Target Supercenter in Denver. According to family members, the two were in love and were planning on getting married in the future.


As reported by The Denver Post and Dayton Daily News, Matt McQuinn died protecting his girlfriend.

As a gunman calmly walked up the aisle of an Aurora movie theater Friday firing at moviegoers, the 27 year old Ohio native dived on top of Samantha Yowler. Her brother Nick, 32, also tried to shield her, said Robert L. Scott, attorney for the McQuinn and Yowler families.

Samantha Yowler, 27, was shot in the knee. Her brother escaped without injury. But McQuinn, from St. Paris, Ohio, was not as fortunate.

McQuinn's mother, Jeri Jackson, flew to Colorado on Friday as family members in Springfield tried to get information about what happened to McQuinn, according to the Dayton Daily News.

McQuinn's stepmother, Stacie McQuinn, said the hospital would not tell Yowler, who underwent surgery Friday, about her boyfriend's condition because the two were not related.
                                    

Matt McQuinn graduated from Vandalia-Butler High School in 2004. He met Yowler while the two were working at a Target store in Springfield, the Dayton Daily News reported. In November, the couple transferred to a Target store in Denver, joining Yowler's brother, who had lived in Colorado for the past few years.

A Young Man's Life Ended On His Birthday!

Alex Sullivan was celebrating his 27th birthday when James Holmes took his life. At the prime of his life, this young man was going to celebrate his first year anniversary with his wife Cassandra. The Aurora shootings cost 12 lives and injured over 60 people. This is one of the most deadliest mass shootings in history.

This tragedy in Aurora, Colorado has cost 12 people their lives. We at Journal de la Reyna will continue to talk about this tragedy and share a few stories of heroism and paid homage to the lives of those lost on that day.

James Holmes, the 24 year old former medical student opened fired on moviegoers at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. He took the lives of men, women and one young girl. Some of the people were inspiring to pursue higher achievements. Some were thinking of marriage and children. Some celebrate events like anniversaries and birthdays. Others wanted to have an opportunity to see a movie that was slated to be a blockbuster.

President Barack Obama will make a trip out to Colorado to talk to the governor and the victims of Friday's mass shooting. Republican candidate Mitt Romney and the president suspended their campaigns in Colorado for now! They want to focus on the heeling process. President Barack Obama ordered all federal buildings to lower their American flags at half stance. Democratic governor John Hickenlooper has expressed outrage at the shooter. As a father of child, he took this incident very personal. He vows to put Holmes in a place where the sun doesn't shine.

Today, we talk about the young man who was going to celebrate his birthday and first year anniversary.

Alex Sullivan, was 27 at the time of death. His birthday.

Alex and a few of his co-workers (friends) were going to watch the blockbuster movie when the unthinkable happened.

He was employed at Red Robin, a national restaurant chain. Among his death, some of his co-workers were injured in the mass shooting.

Alex's birthday was on July 20. His anniversary on July 22. His wife Cassandra was out of town when the tragedy happened.

According to the Denver Post, he wrote on his Facebook page: "Just took the wife to DIA (Denver International Airport) going to be gone for 3 and a half weeks going to miss her a lot. I love you cassie."


While attending the movie, Alex posted: Alex Sullivan posted on his Facebook page: "#TheDarkKnightRises OMG COUNTING down till it start cant wait going to be the best birthday ever."
The famous picture of Alex Sullivan's father Tom showing the media who his son was and how they can inform him.

The morning of the shooting, Alex Sullivan's father, Tom, showed his picture around and asked if anybody had seen his son, an image that reminded some of 9/11 and grieving people amid that tragedy.

Friends on Saturday talked about the big-hearted, good-humored guy they knew.

Tom Sullivan has become the icon of the mass shooting. The grieving parent who was urging the public to find his son!

This tragedy has shifted the political debate to gun control. Many Americans are now calling for tougher regulations on purchasing ammunition. The National Rifle Association and the Republican Party are opposing any restrictions on firearms.


                 

In the wake of this tragedy, Alex's death as well as many others were innocent victims. For a callous person who had no life ahead of himself. Why on earth should James Holmes ever be allow to own that many firearms and ammunition?

We'll never know this answer.

Victim Of Aurora Shooting Survived Earlier Tragedy!

Again we at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

We learn a little bit about the victims of the Aurora shooting. Jessica Redfield-Ghawi was a Texan girl with a passion to cover sports and had an exciting life. That was tragically taken by James Holmes, a deranged shooter who managed to kill 12 people while watching the premiere of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises

As the names are released, people are shocked about one in particular who survived an earlier tragedy. This  victim was a survivor of a Toronto mall shooting earlier this year. This young woman's death brings another painful reminder that life is innocent and this callous killer had no care for it.

Jessica Redfield-Ghawi was a 24-year old inspiring sports writer who was living in Denver with her boyfriend and his friends to watch the premiere of the The Dark Night Rises, the final Batman movie featuring Christian Bale and directed by Christian Nolan.

Jessica was full of life according to some who knew her, and wanted to live her life to the fullest.

Her earlier brush with tragedy happened only six weeks ago in Toronto, Canada. There was a mall shooting in which a gunman managed to kill two and injure three.

She managed to blog about the tragedy on her personal blog and talked about the earlier tragedy on her Twitter page.



jessica_headshot

According to the New York Daily News, Jessica was watching “The Dark Knight Rises” with a long-time friend when a gunman opened fire minutes into the midnight premiere.

She was shot twice, once in the head, her family said.

The young woman was attending the movie with a pal she had convinced to accompany her, Twitter posts show.
                       
“Never thought I’d have to coerce a guy into seeing the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises with me,” Ghawi wrote in the hours leading up to her death.



“Of course we’re seeing Dark Knight. Redheaded Texan spitfire, people should never argue with me. Maybe I should get in on those NHL talks...”


Her final post to a hockey writer pal reads: “MOVIE DOESN’T START FOR 20 MINUTES.”
MIKE LUPICA: ARMED MONSTERS MEAN NO ONE IS SAFE

She was employed at KDVR 31, a Fox affiliate based out of Denver.

The day unfolds and we continue to hear stories of bravery and tragedy. We will cover some and tell their tales and hope that justice will be served to the individual(s) responsible for the tragic death of these victims.

Blame Game: The Aurora Shooting Tragedy!

James Holmes
This is the photo of the Aurora shooter James Holmes. He is responsible for the tragic shooting at a Batman movie premiere.
UPDATES TO THIS STORY WILL CONTINUE AS THE STORY UNFOLDS. THERE WILL BE CHANGES TO THE STORY AS MORE INFORMATION IS GIVEN!


The tragedy in Aurora, Colorado has gotten the nation in mourning. At least over a dozen people were killed in apparent shooting at the premiere of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. There are many causalities and the number can change without notice. We at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families of those who were lost.

Also the nation in blaming!

Conservatives are going to figure out that the shooter, James Holmes was a "Democrat" or "liberal". As explained earlier, I went to the websites that agitated the tragedy. The Drudge Report, Michelle Malkin (and Twitchy), WorldNetDaily, Breitbart News and The Daily Caller have mentioned this story. President Barack Obama send his condolences to the people in Aurora, Colorado. When the conservative news agitators reported this story, their readers go completely batshit! They claim that the president was insincere about this tragedy. They boast of conspiracies of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder coming for their firearms. They have some of the most inflammatory comments saved for the shooter, but yet managed to take a dig at the president. Never a dull moment for the extreme!

Progressives will figure out the shooter was member of the Tea Party or carried views that are considered right wing extremist. We don't know if the person was a Republican! Many people who live in the apartment complex say that he was not a "friendly neighbor". That gives progressives a thought that this person is locked in the bunker strapping up for the great culture war!

I've listened to the Stephanie Miller Show fill-in hosts Chris Lavoie and John Fugelsang talk about the tragedy. They talked about Michelle Malkin making political hay about the tragedy. I've listened to the Rush Limbaugh Show fill-in host Mark Steyn talk about it. I've listen to the Sean Hannity Show and heard Hannity talk about it. They were upset that ABC News reporter Brian Ross blaming a Colorado Tea Party leader for the tragedy. Ross claimed that James Holmes, a Colorado Tea Party leader was responsible for the tragedy. ABC News retracted his statement. That had conservatives upset. Overall each of them have a different take on this.

Each of them were willing to fault the political affiliations and overheated rhetoric for this tragedy.

Of course, we got to figure out that President Barack Obama and the Republicans will be blamed for this automatically. The public will either blame the president or the Republicans for not controlling the incident accordingly.

I know this will be the rally call for the National Rifle Association. They'll make it a fundraising issue. They will claim that President Barack Obama and his allies in the progressive movement are working behind the scenes to take away the freedom to own firearms. They'll rally conservative white males to donate to the Republican Party or their organization. The National Rifle Association has been a huge motivator in riling up gun owners and it will continue to do so, even in a tragedy.

President Barack Obama
I don't want to point fingers at the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement. But the rhetoric they've expressed during the presidency of Barack Obama, has been the boiling point for the irrational individual.

Many state legislators have advocated laws that allow firearms in public establishments such as bars, restaurants, libraries and even the church.

As a concealed carry firearm owner, I express my opinion in a simple term of endearment: What we say, do, or even think could have consequences.

A bullet has no eyes and it will always hit a target. Whether its property, an animal, or a human being, it's going to hit. If you're a human being, it's a life altering experience.

There's nothing worse than having a family member informed that they've lost an individual to a gun.

Again, I don't want to say that this gentleman, 24 year old James Holmes is a Republican or Democrat. That's not important. What I can say about this gentleman is simple: His obsession with firearms should have triggered law enforcement.

We have to make a decision when it comes to owning firearms. When do you use it?

I am certain that the political aspects will be focused on gun control. But don't count on the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party to find compromise.

Republicans will never agree on firearm restrictions. Even the moderates in the Republican Party fear the outcome if the NRA gets voters motivated. Democrats are likely more fearful of the NRA. Conservative Democrats who own firearms will look the other way while their Republican allies sign away laws that loosen restrictions on firearms.

And I've said it before and I'll say it again!

GUN RIGHTS FOR WHITE MALES! GUN CONTROL FOR BLACKS, HISPANICS AND MUSLIMS!

These people scream at the top of their lungs wanting control over us, but never control over them.

This tragedy has an effect. The rise of extremism. Another White lone wolf domestic terrorist. It doesn't matter if he's a Democrat or Republican, if he was politically conservative, he harbored views that contributed to this tragedy.

President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney send their condolences to the families of these victims. The president demands the Justice Department and Homeland Security to investigate this tragedy.

Colorado Tragedy At Batman Premiere!



UPDATE: NBC News reports that the shooter is 24 years old. He is named James Holmes.

Reports of more than a dozen people were killed in Aurora, Colorado. At the blockbuster screening of the new Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, a gunman opened fired on the moviegoers. Over 50 people injured and the causalities could rise at any moment.

Many waited for the opportunity to be the first to view the hit movie. A callous human being decided to channel his rage into a deadly incident.

The Colorado State Police, Aurora Police and the FBI are working this case.

President Barack Obama released a statement condemning the shooter and praying for victims of this incident.

One suspect was arrested. Details haven't emerged on who the person is, but we'll keep an eye on it.


The rise of domestic terrorism in the United States. A disturbed individual can be riled up by the angry voices of conservative talk radio, the internet, word of mouth and of course a domestic dispute. It will drive an individual to violence.

Already, I've read comment sections linked through The Drudge Report, Huffington Post and Michelle Malkin's website. The comments from conservatives are disgusting and callous at best. They're blaming President Barack Obama for this tragedy and his call to prayer for the victims. What a shame!

People are reminiscing about the Columbine shootings in Littleton, Colorado.

Aurora and Littleton are a part of Denver, Colorado.

We send our condolences to those lost in this tragedy.

It's Batman Fool!



Whoopi Goldberg said it best "It's Batman, fool!"

Christian Bale wraps his final role as the dark crusader in the latest summer blockbuster.

There's a huge controversy from a bunch of conservative agitators who believe the movie is promoting an agenda that favors President Barack Obama.

Rush Limbaugh once again goes through the movie script and determines that the Batman: The Dark Knight Rises is a liberal conspiracy.

I didn't want to waste my time on this story because it's obviously going another attempt to attack President Barack Obama. The movie is going to bring billions to Warner Bros. Studios.

Based on the DC Comics, Batman takes on Selena Kyle (known as Catwoman) and mercenary Bane.

The conservative agitator warns of a conspiracy theory because of the naming of the cast villain being a dig at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's former employer Bain Capital.

Batman is likely going to break into the Spider-Man and Avengers mold. The billions of dollars that superhero movies obtain are monumental.

Rush Limbaugh isn't a big fan of pop culture unless he's a part of it.


Remember this guy pretended to be a liberal for Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy

MacFarlane is a liberal activist, comedian, singer and producer of raunchy comedies such as the movie Ted, sitcoms The Cleveland Show, American Dad and Family Guy.

The creators of Rotten Tomatoes were getting death threats after Rush Limbaugh and The Drudge Report rambled on about the Batman movie controversy.
                

If anything, Batman needs a new villain. How about a overweight commentator who was electrocuted by lightening bolt and became a supervillain. Oh, they have Livewire! How about Shock Rush?

Nevermind, I never was good with this namebranding!

The tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado will be explained in the article I've written here!
