Another mass murder by gun. What a surprise lulz

Both unfounded assertions, that seem like wishful thinking just so you can make a case for Socialism.

Yeah you're wrong but by all means enjoy your cognitive dissonance. I've been all over and people in Europe are a lot less repressed and angry than in this country. They're MUCH healthier and enjoy a better quality of life. Sorry if the truth hurts.

Why not move? I lived up north, got tired of the weather, started looking for a job and moved 800 miles south. If it is so wonderful why stay here with us idiots? Life is short, you only get one, and if you wait for the next "heatwave" there will be thousands of tiny apartments available.

I love where I live(California). Our quality of life is great out here. We are more educated, healthier, more progressive, and have a longer life expectancy than the majority of the United States. It's really the red states(who take more federal funds than they give back, are fat, unhealthy, regressive, and have more violence) that are a huge drag on our country.

Translation: California has a lot more Asians than any other state.

Where did the topic of this thread occur?
If America sucks so bad, why do I hear a British, Irish, Aussie or Slavic accent every time I turn around?

California is bankrupt and full of oddballs. Beautiful, diverse landscape and terrific weather - I'll grant you that much - but I'll take a pass on the rest. I retract my suggestion that you relocate to a socialist paradise - you already live in one.

P.S. Did Planning and Zoning approve your doghouse or did you have to resubmit the blue prints?

I agree, non violent drug offenders are packed sardine tight in fed prisons costing lord knows what. I think violent and or sexual crimes should be dealt with alot more strictly though. You break into somebody else's house you deserve to loosely quote NC Mark, "to be hurt with fire".

We're so bankrupt we have the 8th highest GDP in the world. We're also WAY ahead of the curve on social issues and acceptance. And our women aren't too shabby either. Here is a picture of where I went to college:

the fact you're still fixated on where you went to college tells me you're under 30, maybe under 25, have limited life experiences and intelligence to make these broad statements....when you get a bit older you'll realize the more you know, the more there is to know ...until then, enjoy the charade, it's comical

You sound just a tad bit jealous, old man. I'm 32 and accept that the older you get, the less you know. But I do know you're an angry, miserable old coot.

you sound like a kid, you realize that don't you?

zimmie still drinking that haterade for the west coast. how sad

hey hop sing, I'm not being critical, nothing wrong with being a kid...California is a beautiful state

too late for that, sparky. your old posts still exist you know

Shhh... They're still blaming Prop 8 on out-of-state Mormons. Damn no-ID voter laws.

I was watching Anthony Bordain's show, he was in LA and he remarked to the guy he was with that California was not like any other state in the nation, it was really beautiful and unique, the guy replied that was because California had no real European influence and was truly an indigenous and organic state.

Bordain said he never thought of like that but thought it rang true.

I guess, other than the Spaniards. People who migrated west tended to leave ethnic communities and mixed with other cultures, pretty much true of the whole western portion of the country..

If it wasn't for those damned earth-quakes, I might consider living there.

It's all good if you live away from the populated areas. Which you would want to do anyways.

Tulsa Shootings That Left At Least 3 Dead Were Related, Police Say

By JUSTIN JUOZAPAVICIUS 04/ 7/12 05:28 PM ET

TULSA, Okla. — Residents of Tulsa's predominantly black north side said Saturday they're afraid a shooter is still roaming their neighborhoods looking for victims after five people were shot – and three killed – a day earlier.
"We're all nervous," said Renaldo Works, 52, who was getting his hair cut at the crowded Charlie's Angels Forever Hair Style Shop on Saturday morning. "I've got a 15-year-old, and I'm not going to let him out late. People are scared. We need facts.
"You don't want to be a prisoner in your own home," he said.
Police are still waiting for the results of forensic tests, but investigators think the shootings are linked because they happened around the same time within a 3-mile span, and all five victims were out walking when they were shot. All the victims are black, and community met this weekend in an effort to calm any unrest.
One of the victims told police that the shooter was a white man driving a white pickup truck who stopped to ask for directions before opening fire. Officer Jason Willingham said Saturday that the pickup was spotted in the area of three of the shootings.
"We don't have one definitive way where this investigation is headed," Willingham said. "Right now, that's the only thing we have to go on."
More than two dozen officers are investigating the case, along with the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and other agencies, Willingham said.
As investigators searched for the killer, the tension and fear among some of the city's black residents was palpable.
"It's got everybody on edge," said Louis Johnson, 24. "Everybody is saying the same thing – it's a white guy in a white pickup or a Tahoe."
Barber Charles Jones, 40, said the north side has had its share of crime trouble, but residents have never faced a series of random killings like these.
"It's pretty shocking," Jones said. "We've never had any serial-type stuff."
At a neighborhood park a couple blocks from two of the shootings, parents kept close watch over their kids during an Easter egg hunt.
"The first I heard of it, it sounded like some type of gangland thing," said 47-year-old parent Wayne Bell, who was hiding plastic eggs in the grass. "Everybody's asking why. Everybody has to just stick together. It's more of a keep close to the nest thing right now."
The Rev. Warren Blakney Sr., president of the Tulsa NAACP, said "avid distrust" between the black community and the police department had raised concerns that the shootings wouldn't be fully investigated, and he contacted police to emphasize the need for them to work together to avoid vigilantism.
"We have to handle this because there are a number of African-American males who are not going to allow this to happen in their neighborhood," he said. "We're trying to quell the feeling of `let's get someone' and we will make as certain as we can that this isn't pushed under the rug."
Tulsa's police department has been tainted by accusations of corruption. Three ex-police officers and a former federal agent were sentenced to prison in December after a two-year investigation involving allegations of falsified search warrants, nonexistent informants, perjury and stolen drugs and money. Two other ex-officers were acquitted of stealing money during an FBI sting but fired after an internal affairs investigation.
More than a half-dozen lawsuits have been filed by people who claim they were wrongfully locked up by police, and nearly 40 people had their convictions overturned or prison sentences commuted as a result of the corruption probe. Prosecutors have suggested the five police officers who were charged were part of a broader plot in which corrupt officers stole money and drugs, conducted illegal searches and fabricated evidence without fear of getting caught.
Four of Friday's shooting victims were found in yards, and the fifth in a street. Police identified those killed as Dannaer Fields, 49, Bobby Clark, 54, and William Allen, 31. Fields was found wounded about 1 a.m. Friday, Clark was found in a street about an hour later, and Allen was discovered in the yard of a funeral home about 8:30 a.m., though investigators believe he was shot much earlier.
Minutes after Fields was found, police found two men with gunshot wounds in another yard two blocks away. They were taken to hospitals in critical condition but were expected to survive, police said. Willingham said one of those men described the shooter as being white.
"The police chief has assured me they are doing all they can," Blakney said. "We don't want anybody else hurt, white or black."
