More news has come out from yesterday’s Umpqua college massacre, including at least one story of heroism and bravery.
The spotlight of publicity has also shown brightly on incidences of shameful behavior of part of the college’s administration before and during the event as well.
We also learned more – as everyone expected – about the hate-filled individual who committed this atrocity with an eye towards becoming famous. Spoiler alert: GUNS SAVE LIFE WILL NEVER PUBLISH HIS NAME OR LIKENESS in this story, or future stories. He will forever be known as “SCUMBAG’S NAME REDACTED” to us.
Here’s the rundown.
HEROISM AND BRAVERY.
Chris Mintz, a U.S. Army combat veteran who has done some cage fighting was shot multiple times “going after the shooter” to save lives.
SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR OF UMPQUA COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION
Campus carry, by Oregon State law, is permissible.
That’s right: Umpqua Community College was a “GUN FREE” zone by choice, not by law.
From the Campus Code of Conduct:
Somehow I don’t see Umpqua Community College officials granting written permission to concealed carry license holders.
“Think Progress”, a far leftist website, is working to dispel the notion that Umpua campus was a gun free campus by citing a “Campus Safety and Security” webpage instead of the Student Code of Conduct:
Possession, use, or threatened use of firearms (including but not limited to BB guns, air guns, water pistols, and paint guns) ammunition, explosives, dangerous chemicals, or any other objects as weapons on college property, except as expressly authorized by law or college regulations, is prohibited.
Possession of knives with a blade longer than 4” is prohibited.
Brandishing weapons is prohibited.
Misuse of personal defensive weapons – e.g., pepper spray, etc. is prohibited. The owner is responsible and accountable for any misuse of these devices.
Why is “Think Progress” working so hard to dispel the notion that it was a “GUN FREE” campus? Because it’s so damning to the gun control narrative!
It gets worse: The campus had exactly one UNARMED security officer.
Campus administration considered arming their security, but in the end decided not to because it “might change the culture” at the campus. Where do they get these simple-minded imbeciles? Nevermind: Massachusetts.
The Oregon college where at least 10 people were killed in a shooting rampage Thursday had in recent months considered hiring an armed security guard — but ultimately decided against the proposal, the retired president said.
“We talked about that over the last year because we were concerned about safety on campus,” Joe Olson, who retired as president of Umpqua Community College at the end of June, told The New York Times. “The campus was split 50-50. We thought we were a very safe campus, and having armed security officers on campus might change the culture.”
Olson, a former deputy sheriff in Massachusetts, said the discussion about an armed guard had not been prompted by a particular threat. But he said there was a general fear of potential violence. He told the Times he did not believe a guard could stop a gunman.
“If you want to come on the campus and you want to shoot five people, you are going to do that before our security would arrive,” he told the newspaper.
Here’s a clue, Mr. Massachusetts: The mere presence of armed resistance will deter most of these spree killers because armed resistance means they aren’t going to be able to rack up a new “high score” of victims to become famous!
That’s not all…
As it was, there were reports of military veterans and others willing to engage the shooters with improvised weapons and their bare hands from other parts of the campus, but college officials stopped them.
From the Gateway Pundit:
John Parker was in the veteran’s center with other veterans.
He went out to help the victims.
But officials barred him from helping the victims as they were being gunned down.
In the end, even before the victims were carried out, President Barack Hussein Obama was personally appearing in front of the press advocating for gun control. While Obama mentioned himself 28 times in the 12 minute speech, he made not a single mention of the fact that gun control was what made this campus such an easy hunting ground for the mentally deranged leftist who committed this atrocity.
THE KILLER.
He was a 26-year-old f***-up who lived with his mommy. He was single, and a social misfit with head problems. He went to a special school for those with “emotional problems”. He was a loser who craved fame and notoriety. He considered himself “non-religious”. Gee, who would have thought after he was asking students at the college to stand up and state their religion? If his victims said they were Christian, they got shot in the head. If they said nothing or something other than Christianity, he shot them in the legs.
On his “MySpace” page, he has two (count ’em, two) friends, he praised and admired terrorists. One of his friends (we’ll let you guess which one) praises Islamists and writes “kill the Jews”.
The Umpqua killer liked Nazis. And Nazism is far left, not far right. Nazi was the abbreviation of the National Socialist German Workers Party. Socialists are godless leftists, not conservative Christians.
He admired the killer in Virginia of the two TV news reporters – an angry gay black man who loved Obama. The scumbag wrote this of the senseless murders:
‘On an interesting note, I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are. A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day. Seems the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight.
And he closes with this about the horrific video of the murder of two innocent people:
‘Also, if anyone gets the chance, go on YouTube and see the footage of him shooting those people. It’s a short video but good nonetheless. Will post more later.’
I’ll close with this:
The world is a better place without you, scumbag. Thank God the bullets that found your soulless body were well-placed, sending you to hell, and didn’t allow you to linger with the rest of us.
26 year old social misfit.
Gonna say he played a lot of violent video games on his computer instead of socializing when he was younger.
Anyone want to bet against that?
It’s too bad he didn’t just put his 10/22 in his mouth and fondle the bang switch instead of going to that college first.
Welcome to Obama’s America.
Sam
Armed security might change the culture of the campus? Guess what you dumbass, the scumbag changed the culture in a heartbeat. There are God aplenty imbeciles in California and Connecticut, so don’t give Massachusetts all the credit. Typical leftist thought process, choose appearance over reality.
Yep. Choose to be a gun free campus with UNARMED security.
That’s purdy smart, Vern.
Stupid is as stupid does.
I cannot understand the stupidity of people who be.ieve an unarmed people who cannot defend themselves are safer than an armed people who can resist and fight back!
With liberal/progressive tyranny, ” You can’t idiot proof permanent dumba** “.
