As long as people are getting unfairly screwed they'll retaliate. What is so difficult to understand about that. The degree as to how much someone feels they're being screwed for depends on their upbringing & subsequent nurtured mentality. It would be found that those with a background of some discipline are better people.

Runner it is quite hard to ignore your posting style.
You have in just a few words shown a bias that fact fails include.
In America, rather than hatred of God, the fact is some of the worst groups say KKK claim God is on their side.
And while far too early to judge anyone this may be, not evidence to back me up, combined with a possible bomb in the fertilizer plant, a branch Davian Church, related event.
Just as o sung wo [and myself] know great folk live in America, so too do strange folk who kill with little reason.
America shows politicians, those who voted against gun reform, think more of re election some times than what is best for the country.

The FBI has just released photographs of the suspects. They can be found here.

One step closer to finding the bastards who did this.

godless people have no problem murdering the unborn so it would not surprise if they murdered the born. do you think it might be a salvation army officer?

Dear onthebeach,

Lol. A clown as well as a dill?

So you are trying to say o sung wu's information is out of date? For that to assist your vacuous argument you would need to show that database protocols have been slackened rather than tightened since he left the force. Fantasy world my friend.

My brother has always said the most fearful moments of his time in law enforcement was collecting kids from a man's house after a Family Court ruling knowing there were weapons in the house. Should he be entitled to that information as part of doing his job? Of course.

Can I remind you of exactly what you claimed;

“What is a worry though is that the very gun registration that is supposed to prevent crime is the likely source of information for thefts. Any cop can access that data on all owners, what is held and where, and without leaving a trace of his query.”

So you literally put the police in the frame stating they are “the likely source of information for thefts”.

I'm not sure what o sung wu thinks about this but on behalf of my brother, my cousin and my grandfather I certainly consider this shameful, disrespectful and cuckoo land stuff that is far more appropriate in the US not here.

It probably leaves you with 3 options, grow up, get help, or shift.

Dear RawMustard,

Diverting yet again?

Those guys were able to fire off over a thousand rounds before they were brought down. How many of those spectators crowded into the stands at the marathon would have died with even a fraction of those rounds tearing into them? It doesn't take much of a brain to know it would be a darn sight more than 3.

Whatever my concerns about surveillance cameras affecting privacy of ordinary citizens I am thankful those cameras were there to capture those photographs.

Now for the public to spot the fiends.

I can think of no more fitting punishment than full lifetime stays in jail somewhere, where every day they can contemplate the evil they wrought on innocents. They are monsters.

I also hope that the idiotic, sensationalist media does not give them a voice and everlasting notoriety. They should rot in jail, knowing that they are forgotten. That must be obvious. It is the only real deterrent to other possible offenders. That and the certainty of arrest.

It is difficult to understand why, but recently in Australia a newspaper gave publicity to the scum who murdered British traveller Peter Falconio and assaulted his girlfriend, Joanne Lees. The fiend even blamed the stricken girlfriend for the offence. Criminals rejoice in their notoriety for bragging rights in jail at least. They don't want to be forgotten. Yet a rag of a paper did just that. See here,
