Webster NY Shooting/Fires 12/24/12

Im really enjoying the discussion in this thread so can we please please please try not to go 2nd amendment…

Agreed!

Usually a defendant can plead that he was “temporarily insane” or that it was in the “heat of the moment” (no pun intended). Although in this case he left a note(s) stating he wanted to go on a killing spree basically. Shows premeditation and therefor proves this dude did not belong anywhere near the general public.

Armchair psychiatry is fun though. :tup:

And yeah I think we beat the gun control thing to death in the other thread. I’m pretty sure approximately zero people were persuaded to change their stance. Such is the nature of arguing.

My post had to do with his previous conviction. For that, there was no premeditation that could be proven.

Ah, ok. I would probably assume the defense would argue that the dude was batshit crazy though.

I’m curious how that crazy defense works normal well adjusted people don’t murder people for any reason lol

Sounds like that disgusting excuse for a “church” will be protesting at the funerals. I think I’m going to vomit.

I always wanted to protest their protest but all locations/timing never worked out might make the trip to Rochester for this.

I’ll post details as I get them. Sounds like people will be taking the “human wall” approach like they did at Texas A&M.

I might be down for a stroll as well. These folks are utter pieces of shit.

They need to disappear.

if there was ever a need to use a gun, it would be on the Westboro Baptist Church.

Webster PD and FD asked that any counter protests, human walls, etc be cancelled out of respect for the families. What’s amazing is seeing the community doing what they can for support - people have been donating hotel rooms for visiting firefighters at local hotels, offering breakfast, stuff like that.

I’ve said it before: I would be in jail if that group “protested” a family members funeral. With zero regret.

.

I think because of The Westboro Baptist Church we should ban free speech.

Even the KKK protests those disgustingly crazy ppl…

In other news…another shooting and another shooter bites the dust, thankfully nobody else was killed.

starting to turn into the “cool” thing to do now.

It’s not the “cool” thing

It just happens to be the news picking up stories all over the place.

It’s the same thing that happened when someone was hitting a building with a car everyday in Buffalo for months.

If the national news wanted to go after drunk driving there would be multiple deaths everyday and people would be afraid to drive.
