According to NBC: “Vicari said at one point the shooter told people to stand up before asking whether they were Christian or not. Vicari’s brother told her that anyone who responded ‘yes’ was shot in the head. If they said ‘other’ or didn’t answer, they were shot elsewhere in the body, usually the leg.”</blockquote> Cardinal George of Chicago famously said 'I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison, and his successor will die a martyr in the streets.'

Jagdish Shukla and the #RICO20 has captured the attention of Congress, and FOIA documents are coming out</a></blockquote> It seems that the little Himmlers have some legal problems of their own, including using $63,000,000 of taxpayers' money to fund their little political action committee. That's a violation of federal law.<br /> <br /> The House Committee on Science, Space and Technology sent Dr. Jagadish Shukla, the organizer of the warmist mob, this letter:<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> Chairman Smith: “IGES [Shukla's taxpayer-funded organization] appears to be almost fully funded by taxpayer money while simultaneously participating in partisan political activity by requesting a RICO investigation of companies and organizations that disagree with the Obama administration on climate change.

At least ten people dead, and many wounded. Please pray for the victims and their families.<br /> <br /> There is a simple way to stop this. To stop it completely. Two things:<br /> <br /> 1) <b>Stop reporting spree shootings in the media</b>. These bastards are imitators, and they vent their hate and anger in a way that will give them total power (for 15 minutes) and will make them famous. <b>Stop making them famous.</b> The press should agree: The scumbag's name should <i>never</i> be mentioned. No name, and no pictures. Make the killer an non-person. Tear up his manifesto--never let it see the light of day. Never mention his name. Report about the shootings <i>once</i>, briefly, and then never again. The media is driving this. The media is a hateful psycho's ticket to immortal fame. Take that away and the shootings will stop.<br /> <br /> 2) <b>Eliminate gun-free zones</b>. <i>Gun-free zones are spree-killing magnets</i>--nearly all spree killings are committed in gun-free zones, for the obvious reason. A spree killer wants two things: immortal fame, and 15 minutes to vent his hate with complete power over his victims. <b>Deny him the power</b>. Make sure there will be people around him who will shoot back--immediately. And he won't know who. Bad guys with guns are <i>only</i> stopped by good guys with guns (they don't quit voluntarily), and gun-free zones simply ensure that the good guys with guns will arrive at least 15 minutes late--time to kill, time to have complete power. Take that power away. Allow responsible citizens to be armed in schools and other places where spree shooters choose to kill.<br /> <br /> Of course the media will never stop reporting on this stuff, and as long as there are dumb-fuck Democrats there will be gun-free zones.<br /> <br /> But don't believe for a minute that spree shootings can't be stopped. They can be stopped, quite easily. We just choose not to. </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11431770851694587832' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11431770851694587832' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>mregnor</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://egnorance.blogspot.com/2015/10/how-to-stop-spree-shootings.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://egnorance.blogspot.com/2015/10/how-to-stop-spree-shootings.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-10-02T00:59:00-04:00'>12:59 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://egnorance.blogspot.com/2015/10/how-to-stop-spree-shootings.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 29 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/3555199390227912207/8824205411665397079' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-222349132'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3555199390227912207&postID=8824205411665397079&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3555199390227912207&postID=8824205411665397079&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3555199390227912207&postID=8824205411665397079&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

It became much more difficult, once he said, in reference to those of homosexual orientation in the clergy who maintained their vows of sexual abstinence, “Who am I to judge?” and after he made the point in his famous interview with Civilt脿 Cattolica that it was not the role of the Roman Catholic Church to scold people about their sex lives but to be the ark of the Christian message and that all souls were of equal importance. The numerous media choristers and other purveyors of conventional wisdom, who had been catechismally incanting for years that the Roman Church was just a hypocrisy-and-superstition factory run by a creaking gerontocracy of celibates and closet queens trying to put a hex on any non-marital sex, have become steadily more impatient to find a new line of attack. This visit did not provide it...<br /><br />No occupant of his position will please everyone, but there is a good deal of evidence that the Roman Catholic Church is strengthening appreciably in many places, and that the deafening proclamations and smug assumptions of its imminent demise have again been proved false. Francis enjoys far greater prestige and popularity than any secular leader, and he represents something a good deal more compelling than any current statesman; his first visit to the world’s most important country was a distinct success.</blockquote> Again, I believe that Francis' conservative critics misunderstand what he is doing. He is not a leftist--the left in Argentina, who knew him well, hated his guts. He is an Argentinian with a profound hatred of crony capitalism, which in the U.S. is called socialism. His beliefs and instincts are Catholic to the core, and everything on faith and morals he teaches is straight out of the Catechism. We have to listen to what he says, not to what the media say about what he says.<br /> <br /> What Pope Francis is accomplishing is quite remarkable: he is stealing (back) the memes of the Left, and showing the world that love for the poor and humility and forgiveness and stewardship of nature and simple human decency are deeply <i>Catholic</i> traditions that have been co-opted by the Left is a sort of demonic counterfeit.<br /> <br /> My wife loves this pope. She is not Catholic, and not even really Christian, but she loves the guy. She told me a couple of days ago "I love him more than you do". That's not true, but it's clear that Francis is doing great things for the Church of God. </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11431770851694587832' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11431770851694587832' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>mregnor</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://egnorance.blogspot.com/2015/09/conrad-black-pope-nailed-it.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://egnorance.blogspot.com/2015/09/conrad-black-pope-nailed-it.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-09-30T12:51:00-04:00'>12:51 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://egnorance.blogspot.com/2015/09/conrad-black-pope-nailed-it.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 15 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/3555199390227912207/7781521699686874466' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-222349132'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3555199390227912207&postID=7781521699686874466&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3555199390227912207&postID=7781521699686874466&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3555199390227912207&postID=7781521699686874466&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
