Saturday, April 04, 2009 10:19:58 PM Oh my... so much FAIL from the gunman it's blinding. It's a sad day for families and friends of the guys who died, but they died for the cause. Kinda impossible that gun regulations won't get more stringent from this event. |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 10:14:08 PM "Sometimes I hate the media. Talk about twisting an event/story."Funny how some of the minor details AS TOLD BY A FRIEND OF THE GUNMAN and not the nut himself become major talking points. Regardless, how many reporters do you hear backing the citizen's right to protect himself/herself from people like this with a firearm? |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 9:01:09 PM I'm all against gun ownership, but that has emphatically nothing AT ALL to do with this story. Guy was a spacebar, and this is really sad what happened here. I don't care if he was a gun lobbyist, pro-Obama, member of the NRA... These are all superfluous details. Sometimes I hate the media. Talk about twisting an event/story. |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 8:50:07 PM This thread deserves to be about the police officers and not this mental case. One of my cousins is a City of Pittsburgh officer, another works for the Port Authority and my brother is an officer just outside the city and I'm fortunate enough none of them were injured. I'm grateful they're there to do a job most of us can't or are unwilling to do. Remember what they put on the line everyday the next time you pissed about a ticket (that you probably deserved anyway). |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 8:32:55 PM peloos12Congratulations, sir. You've proved the people who opposed your stance on gun rights to be correct, killed 3 innocent people, devastated the lives of the families who loved them, and landed yourself in jail for the rest of your life. Mission a-f*cking-ccomplished, jagweed. ---------------------------------------- Nice, my thoughts exactly. |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 7:24:45 PM Actually, Bat_Girl! He shot five Cops. Three were killed and two were injured. He began shooting after his Mother called the police to come and take his guns. |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 6:57:58 PM Certainly are a lot of gunman emerging from the woodwork nowadays. Likely connected the current economic state, just the push needed to send some people over the edge.I just hope none of our elected officials decide to take advantage of these tragedies... |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 6:27:26 PM You can read up on it on yahoo, google it, etc.And yea, makes sense, shoot cops because you don't like the fact you may lose the ability to use them. Good plan. |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 6:21:37 PM "Police Chief Nate Harper said the motive for the shooting isn't clear, but friends said the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns."Clearly just an unstable guy, not a case where you need to bring up the president. Press just loves mentioning him wherever they can. |

Saturday, April 04, 2009 6:14:44 PM One, where is the information that the shooter is anti-Obama?Two, why does it matter? Three, where does it say that three officers were shot? All I heard were that two were lying in the street, one possibly dead. Four, I would just like to reiterate that sometimes, people really suck. That is all. |
