Someone attempting or committing mass shootings?	vaberella	Aug 2012	#62
I don't believe we have enough information about this incident to call it an attempted mass shooting	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#63
Maybe but apparently he was shouting about policy when he walked in.	vaberella	Aug 2012	#66
The guy is obviously disturbed, and didn't have a very well-developed plan	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#69
Most shooters are obviously disturbed here.	vaberella	Aug 2012	#73
WTH??? Is there something in the water or air???	ryan_cats	Aug 2012	#13

I wish more people understood that. (nt)	Posteritatis	Aug 2012	#39
A lot of people are content to believe whatever their television sets tell them to believe	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#42
And are really protective of those beliefs, judging by the other response you got. eesh. (nt)	Posteritatis	Aug 2012	#71
Yeah, OK.	Paladin	Aug 2012	#40
No, the misleading vividness is the for-profit corporate media's way of boosting its audience	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#41
That's the most impressive "I'm going to make up the post I respond to" I've seen in ages. (nt)	Posteritatis	Aug 2012	#58

The Family Research Council Headquarters is in Chinatown?	snooper2	Aug 2012	#21
I thought that was a bit amusing, myself. nt	MADem	Aug 2012	#36

I'm hoping for some dirt to flush out with this.	2pooped2pop	Aug 2012	#25
I find that pretty unlikely	RZM	Aug 2012	#31
Take a couple of steps back and ask yourself why they need a security guard in the first place	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#34
Office buildings next to the Smithsonian have security guards. The days of people wandering into	MADem	Aug 2012	#50
Pretty much. When I was a teenager I wandered into a skyscraper, hoping to go the top	RZM	Aug 2012	#52
Good point. Lots of criminals of all kinds in DC for sure. nt	Zorra	Aug 2012	#76
There have been security guards in every office building I've ever gone into.	TheManInTheMac	Aug 2012	#83
I've only worked in one building that had guards that screened everyone who walked in	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#84
Yeah, most office buildings don't screen everyone, they just make sure	TheManInTheMac	Aug 2012	#88
Just to be clear, there is no front desk in the building where I work now. There are video cameras,	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#89
Your speculation is unlikely in the extreme. IOW: No Way!	GreenStormCloud	Aug 2012	#55
I didn't know that there was a video of the incident. Could you please post it? nt	Zorra	Aug 2012	#75
Common Sense.	GreenStormCloud	Aug 2012	#82

Please explain how the wounded guard fits in to your framework	RZM	Aug 2012	#49
I was referring to the site of the shooting.	pwb	Aug 2012	#65
But it wasn't a site that was shot. A person was shot	RZM	Aug 2012	#67
The target was a hate group.	pwb	Aug 2012	#70
"The guard worked for a hate group" - Or maybe for the building's management company.	slackmaster	Aug 2012	#74
