FSU shooter thought gubmint was after him...

Journal indicates FSU shooter suspected government
Nov 20,`14 -- A Florida State University alumnus and attorney who shot three people at the school's library early Thursday believed the government was targeting him for persecution, detailing his thoughts in a journal and in videos detectives obtained, authorities said.

Officers fatally shot Myron May, 31, during an exchange outside the library about 12:30 a.m. May reloaded at least once and tried to enter the library, where about 450 students were studying for midterm exams, but was blocked by lobby security barriers that permit only students and staff inside, Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo said. "Based on our initial review of the documents and his videos and his postings, it's clear that Mr. May's sense of being and place in our community was not what most people would refer to as a normal," DeLeo said. "He had a sense of crisis and he was searching for something."

The shooting sent students scrambling for cover in the book aisles and barricading themselves in with desks amid screams from classmates. "I ran for my life," said Allison Kope, a freshman from Cocoa Beach, who was on the library's first floor. "I ran right out the backdoor. My laptop and everything is still in there. It was shock. It was just instinct. You don't think about anything else, you just go." One person is in critical condition and one is in good condition at a local hospital, while the third was released. May's Facebook page shows he posted mostly Bible verses and links to conspiracy theories about the government reading people's minds. Records show May was licensed to practice law in Texas and New Mexico.

Tallahassee police investigate the scene of a shooting outside the Strozier library on the Florida State University campus in Tallahassee, Fla. Thursday Nov 20, 2014. Officers shot and killed the suspected gunman police said. It has been confirmed by authorities that the body in this image is that of the dead gunman. There were no other fatalities in the shooting.

According to a Las Cruces, New Mexico, police report last month, May was a subject of a harassment complaint after a former girlfriend called to report he came to her home uninvited and claimed police were bugging his house and car. Danielle Nixon told police May recently developed "a severe mental disorder." "Myron began to ramble and handed her a piece to a car and asked her to keep it because this was a camera that police had put in his vehicle," the report said. The report also said May recently quit his job and was on medication. No charges were filed.

Abigail Taunton, who runs a foster home in the Florida Panhandle, told AP that May was staying at a guest house she owns. "He's just a boy our kids grew up with that we let stay in one of our guest houses for a while," she said. "He's moving back home from Texas and we were trying to help him get on his feet." "We're just all astounded. We had no idea that he would do something like this," Taunton said. "Obviously, he was not in his right mind." She said she had known him since he was about 13 or 14 and that he ran cross country with her kids and stayed at her house a lot. She said he lived with his grandmother after coming out of a "bad situation" with his parents. He was born in Dayton, Ohio. "He was having some financial issues and moved back home and decided he'd come back to Florida to work," she said.

Never, ever trust anti gunners and every town and moms demand action are some of the worst anti gunners....those shooting stats have been looked,over and they include everything but the kitchen sink for school shootings....

"T

he claims were quickly echoed—uncritically, and without even a cursory attempt at fact-checking—by reporters and editors from news outlets that should have know better. Shannon Watts of Mom’s Demand and Erika Soto Lamb of Everytown might have gotten away with their outlandish claims… except that journalist Charles C. Johnson started looking at the underlying data for their claims, and posted what he found on Twitter in real-time as he found it. As he did so, the blatant deception from Bloomberg’s gun control harpies quickly fell apart."

LOL that trash report was debunked as soon as it appeared. A shining moment of showing ignorance for the Hoplophobes

Something that occurs re gun control arguements about being allowed to carryc oncealed on campuses is the crossfire worry. Presumedly some schools allow CCW already, and presumedly some school shootings occured on suchc ampuses, yet no incidents of crossfire injuries have made the news despite numerous shootings.

I very seldom have a gun with me, and have never needed one when I was unarmed. I have used one to defend myself one time. I knew that I was in a situation where I was vulneble, and therefore had the gun. For most people, having a gun is bigger danger to them and their own than the threat of violence from others.

School shooting in Mexico...

Mexico youth shoots teacher, classmates, then kills himself
Jan 18,`17 -- A 15-year-old student opened fire with a gun at a private school in this northern Mexico city Wednesday, hitting a teacher and two other students in the head before killing himself. Another student suffered lesser injuries in the shooting, which was captured on a video posted to social media.

Nuevo Leon state Gov. Jaime Rodriguez said the shooter died at a hospital and the other three victims with head wounds were "fighting between life and death." The boy wounded in the arm was out of danger. A video, apparently from the school's surveillance camera, shows a female teacher handing out materials and students seated at their desks when a boy opens fire with a pistol from a sitting position, hitting a boy sitting in front of him, who immediately slumps to the ground. He next shoots the teacher, who was looking in another direction, and she falls to the ground. The boy rises from his seat and walks around, firing shots at his classmates, before turning the gun on himself.

His first shot apparently misses his head, and then he runs out of bullets. The shooter runs to his backpack, apparently to reload, as his classmates cower at their desks. He appears to say something to the surviving students, who begin to rush for the door, and then he shoots himself in the head and falls to the ground. The crowded classroom was left with a jumble of overturned chairs, blood and fallen students.

Balloons and candles stand at the entrance of the American School of the Northeast after a school shooting in Monterrey, Mexico, Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017. A 15-year-old student opened fire with a gun on Wednesday, hitting a teacher and two other students in the head before killing himself.​

State security spokesman Aldo Fasci said four of the injured, including the shooter himself, had bullet wounds to the head and were in extremely serious condition. He said the student shot the 24-year-old teacher, a 14-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy in the head, and a 15-year-old classmate in the arm. He then pointed the gun at classmates before shooting himself in the head. "The classes were going perfectly well, the student stands up from his desk and pulls out a gun," Fasci said.

He noted that photographs of the shooting had been posted to social media and said the person responsible would be punished. He also appealed to the news media to avoid using the images, which show minors. Fasci said the shooter had been under treatment for depression, but that the motive was under investigation. The spokesman attributed it to "the situation that is happening everywhere. The children have access to the internet. This has happened in other countries." The website of the American School of the Northeast says it offers bilingual education for students from preschool through ninth grade.

But Mexico has VERY strict gun control laws

Mexico's Strict Gun Laws.Mexico's gun laws are similar to those in countries like the United Kingdom that do not tolerate possession of certain lethal firearms. This is in stark contrast to the laws of the United States, whose constitution allows citizens to generally own and carry firearms on their person.

Won't work....school shooters....they know they are going to die or will spend the rest of their lives in prison...not much more of a deterrent is possible...so you can't stop them with laws......getting rid of gun free school zones would actually work, since they target gun free zones for their shootings.
