Glad your hubby is not there, Aroura.
My sympathy and thoughts to the victims and their families.
I'm now waiting for the religious fruitcakes to blame this on atheists.

15 dead and 20 wounded, at last count. Damnit.
Yeah, blaming it on atheists will be soon. I'd say in 3, 2, 1...
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

KOIN local news says 10 confirmed dead, 20 wounded, but they are reporting between 13 and 15 people dead. Lots of confusion still; it's not clear right now (it's not being reported to the public) whether the shooter is alive or dead, but it is confirmed that it's no longer an active shooting and that the shooter has been detained or stopped in some way.

Seven to ten dead about twenty wounded. But over.

And yes, when it's your own state you jump. I know about fifteen kids in college in state right now. None at UCC though.

That was a fast jump from the last I read.

I don't know about blaming atheists, but the internet is already lighting up with the same-old same-old about how this is somehow the fault of liberals and how soon enough the government will be coming for everyone's guns -- like that's even a thing. Fucking jackals. Another senseless tragedy happens within the past hour, and people can't wait one damn day to exploit it for their partisan talking points.
We are an irretrievably sick and broken nation when we can't even mourn as a people like decent human beings.

Watching KOIN coverage right now; their bottom banner is reading "10 Confirmed Dead, 20 Wounded" and they had the county commissioner on the phone with the studio saying 13 might be dead and the newscasters are reporting possibly 15 dead.

Is it awful to say I'm all out of fucks? This is total bullshit. Wake me up when there's real gun control. I'm past tired and don't have the energy to be angry anymore. Fuck it.

Not sure this is when and where I want to discuss gun control, but the problem is we have guns all over. And every ban that fails causes more people to buy guns. And even if we manage to ban them, there are so many out there already. . .
And with 3D printers it may soon be every country's problem.

Jesus Christ, I'd never even considered that. That's all we need.
