    It's just my natural reaction to all these events lately, unfortunately. He wishes to disarm us all, as he allows millions of "who knows what" to flood our country. And they will have guns, big ones; probably courtesy of the Justice Department's "Fast and Furious".

    You anti immigration lot are working overtime to turn yourselves into a cartoon.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    Three dead (including shooter), seven wounded (another report says nine injured- update: the nine figure includes the dead transported to hospitals).

    Multiple witnesses reported the shooter was a white, middle-aged man, Craft said. State police have said the shooter was 58 years old, and was using a handgun.
    Jalen Fernell, 20, of Lafayette, was in the Grand Theatre watching “South Paw” with friends when he heard gunshots.

    “They were very faint over the movie. I thought it was part of the movie,” Fernell said. “About five seconds later, sirens went off and I realized it wasn’t the movie.”

    Someone came on the intercom and told moviegoers to evacuate, Fernell said. Nobody knew what was going on so they took off running, he said.

    Outside the theater building police were everywhere
    .
    “I saw a woman lying on the ground outside with blood everywhere. She was shot in the leg,” Fernell said.

    Everyone started running again, he said.

    “We didn’t know what to do. You’re scared to walk through the parking lot, You don’t know if the guy’s in a car, hiding in the parking lot,” Fernell said.

    More police pulled up with assault rifles and went into the building, he said.

    “I heard gunshots like a war going on,” Fernell said.

    When the gunfire stopped, he heard from a police car radio that six people were down in Theater 14, he said.

    More police pulled up, charging inside the building and more gunshots were fired. He heard the suspect was down; he had committed suicide, he said.

    In the theater where the shooting took place, Emily Mann, 21, was watching “Train Wreck” with a friend in the second row from the top of the theater when she heard popping noises and noticed flashes coming from a gun held by a man in the same row on the other side of the theater, her father, Randall Mann, vice president of marketing and public relations at Acadian Ambulance, said.

    Emily wasn’t up to speaking to the media Thursday night, he said.

    Mann said Acadian Ambulance transported eight patients to area hospitals. The company responded with 10 ambulances and off-duty personnel who heard about the shooting showed up at the scene to help, he said.

    "We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker," she said.Katie Domingue of Carencro was at the 7 p.m. showing of "Train Wreck" with her fiance', Joshua Doggett. About 20 minutes into the movie, Domingue said, she heard a loud noise.


    She saw "an older white man" standing up and shooting down, not in her direction.

    "He wasn't saying anything. I didn't hear anybody screaming either," Domingue said.
    They now know but aren't releasing the name of the shooter.

    Like all the other guns he took away after all of the other shootings which occurred while he was in office.

    Total speculation since we have no facts but wondering if his wife was in the theater with anther man and he followed them there- taking a seat near the back of the theater to keep an eye on them. Then he get angry enough (as if he wasn't angry enough to take a gun and follow them) to stand up and shoot at them- killing them and wounding others nearby.

    If the emerging details end up paralleling the general pattern we've seen over the last few months, the obvious (and cynical) upshot is we are experiencing a serial false flag fiesta, designed to keep the population in fear and in a framework that supports more gun control, Orwellian surveillance, etc.

    Perhaps the "juice" from the Charleston shooting was drying up insofar as using it to give a push to new gun control policy was concerned, so these other shooters in TN and LA have been triggered to restore the momentum.

    Give it a rest.

    How nice. The movie was the one featuring Chuck Schumer's relative, Amy. You know, the female comedian that teaches young women it's ok to be drunk whores.

    "Breaking News - Active Shooter in Lafayette Louisiana theater deactivated"

    Interesting title and using the word 'deactivated.' Was that the Original News story title or one made up by OP?

    Not for a lack of trying. Just today he was saying that his biggest frustration of his Presidency is his inability to enact stricter gun laws. He actually admits the chances of getting something passed through Congress is slim. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33646704

    So the building was already surrounded by AR15 welding police as moviegoers were still in the process of egressing and shots were still being fired? And police already had a body count as soon as the shots stopped? Sounds strangely familiar to a training op--morphed into real life and right as James Holmes awaits final sentencing.

    Police say 'drifter' killed 2, injured 9 in Lafayette, La. movie theater

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/07/24...movie-theater/

    Police said a drifter carried out the movie theater attack in Lafayette, La., late Thursday that left two people dead and nine others injured.

    Lafayette Police Friday identified the shooter as John Russell Houser, 59.

    “He’s kind of a drifter,” Police Chief Jim Craft told a news conference.

    Houser was from Alabama but had been staying at a motel in Lafayette, he said.

    Police recovered wigs, glasses and disguises in a search of the room. His vehicle "with switched license tags" was parked next to the movie theater, Craft said.

    “It is apparent that he was intent on shooting and escaping,” he said.

    Lafayette Shooter Had Tea Party Page
    The man named in connection with Thursday night’s shooting at a Louisiana movie theater appears to have had a Tea Party Nation page registered in his name. Officials identified the shooter Friday morning as John Russel Houser of Alabama. A Tea Party Nation page was registered by a man with that name in June 2013, and the registrant identified his hometown as Phenix City, Alabama.

    Obama and the gun control crew have utterly failed to enact ANY further restrictions on guns at the Federal level. On the State level, only those states that already had restrictive laws and a history of anti-gun activity (like California where RONALD REAGAN started gun control decades ago) have enacted more. And many states increased protection for the rights of gun owners. I'm not saying that we don't need to be vigilant, but the ldea that Obama is effectively disarming us is simply not supported by the facts.

    He had plans to escape,, but he killed himself (without a fight).

    Story haz an odor.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    The articles posted above ("sounded like a war zone", "many shots fired") make it sound like there was a fight. Source for "without a fight"?

    "His page likes included "I hate liberals!", which features a cover image that states "I Stand With Rand." The public posts on the page included a conservative article on how liberals "brainwash" people into hating America, and a post where he stated "Death comes soon to the financially failing filth farm called the US.""
