Somebody posted a thread on /pol/ warning of something happening a little bit before this occurred

Coincidence?

Copycat shooter?

That doesn't really look like a warning of something happening, more like wishful thinking... which being /pol/ I'm sure they're all gloating over this.

Also don't link chans here.

not medical center, it's public housing.

i'm hedging my bet on person kicked out of the housing for a violation, according to NBC the gunman(men) was just blithely shooting up the place without much care for who he shot, so anger at the institution.

Dammit, just moved here. Well, that's 60 miles away. But still.

Well, it could've been stopped by citizens carrying weapons...looks like Cali gun laws are partially to blame.

However, I feel as if this was somewhat motivated if its a disabilities center. My thoughts and prayers to the victims, their families, and the policeman on the scene.

Introducing more guns wielded by amateurs into an active shooter situation is not going to make the situation better. Especially in this case, when they have body armor and a very clear desire to inflict significant casualties. Your conceal carry pistol is only going to get you shot.

If you go to the website of the inland regional center you get an error message. If you look up the site on archive.org to view an old version of it you also get an error message. I know it's really early in this story but with all the bullshit surrounding sandy hook could we at least recognize that we have to be really skeptical with the claims that are going to come out in the next few days...

How? The shooters had body armor and the advantage of surprise.

Uh uh. Everybody who gets a CCW automatically gains +5 to DEX so they never miss and +5 to INT so they know exactly who to shoot. They're also directly linked to the emergency services by a magic amulet that warns them when they're arriving so they can put the weapon away before they're mistaken for the bad guy with a gun.

I wake up, and the first thing I hear on the news is an American, saying "Do not come to the scene; police are looking for your loved ones now," or something to that effect. I turned around, looked at the headline and simply sighed.

It's events like these that make me truly hate the "people" that enact such brutal, atrocious acts.

Apparently, the latest count is 12 dead, and 8 injured. My thoughts and condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims, as well as the victims themselves.
