Some local callers to 98 KMBZ are extremely upset that the hosts mentioned the possibility of 'terrorism' and not PTSD.....I mean livid!


Whatever it is, it is a very sad day.

Hmm.

It has been explained that PTSD doesn't go down like this did. There were seemingly three individuals involved indicating it was premeditated; not characteristic of PTSD.

With the possibility of 2-3 people involved and with the other information that has been released.......Since it is time for prayers, I'll keep my judgmental opinion to myself.

Got a nephew (E-4), uncle (retired O-6) and an aunt down there. Spoke to nephew 45 minutes ago. Nephew said he was out in the field playing aggressor when it went down and so far have been locked down outside main post. Heard from other family members that my uncle dropped his wife off at thrift store and was on his way to help out with some volunteer stuff at his old unit when MPs and EMS went back the way he came from. Last I heard, my aunt was safe in the thrift store under lock down and my uncle was locked down at the BN HQ.

Having had to go through all the PTSD and suicide classes while in the WTU at Carson, this wasn't PTSD gone bad. This was something else entirely.

I'm angry beyond words. :mad: I'm sad for the families. May all who can be menachem-ovel (comfort the mourner)

Why are military bases gun-free zones?

They weren't always.

Weapons used to be stored in the barracks in racks.

Well, at least he opted to allow the authorities and chain of command to investigate the incident before passing judgement as he did in the Harvard Prof situation.

Did the president go out there, start reading one speech and then get an update on the teleprompter and then shift focus to address the shooting?:confused:

Blitzzz (RIP) 11-05-2009 17:32

it's all tragic...
 
i'm really sorry for all the families but in particular the families who have just greeted their spouses from deployment. How f__king sad. This wasn't one shooter, no way, 12 dead and 31 wounded, no way, More shooters. He could not have done this without being "Bum Rushed" by reciently returned warriors.
I'll put my money one other shooters with similar names.

I just watched the "shout out" part of his speech... didn't see it earlier, and all I have to say is WTF??!!

Seriously? I can't believe that it took him TWO MINUTES AND THIRTY SECONDS to get to the actual Fort Hood shooting in his "Fort Hood Shooting" speech. There's plenty of things I want to say but I believe I will say them out loud, at my computer.
