It looks like the liberal democrats voters are out.
Excuse me? You read that story and you immediately seized on a political remark? What does this even have to do with partisan politics? Taking the location into account, it is most likely that those involved were Mormon, and could likely be conservative. But that also has nothing to do with anything. The only story here is that three people were shot. We don't know who or why, so if you don't mind, try to stick to the topic, which is very thin, since almost nothing is actually reported.
@ underemployed...
His display name, "Just being me.."-- simply implies he's proud to be a... POS!
Nuthin' more...!!
Oh, who cares...just another shooting in the good ol' USA....where, we have,on average, 88 killings every day, by gunshots.....interesting though, the Mormon connection,...gun lovers were dead set against Mitt Romney, he was that Mormon Bishop who ran for President last year....when Romney was the governor of Massachusetts, where he still lives ( has a vacation home in Calif.)..Romney drafted and proposed legislation for Massachusetts, banning the sale of assault weapons...like the A-15 used by "Chip" Lanza in the Newtown,Connecticut school massacre.
Romney was able to get his legislation passed,and, at a public signing,he boastfully proclaimed his "love" of being the governor of one of the States,Massachusetts, which has "among the toughest anti-gun laws in the nation."
Has Wayne LaPierre been arrested yet? Terrorism IS a crime, right?
You don't think Holder & Odumbass have dug as deep as they could trying to find anything on him? He has to be squeaky clean. The NRA does all the safety training for State & County Law Enforcement Organizations. So he must be held in high rearguard. So your opinion must not mean much.
Liam-----That's politics' just like Obama and gay marriage.
Who should be arrested for allowing 2,000 guns to walk into the hands of Mexican drug cartels?
what a bunch of mormons for shooting them up !
Mark you should know by now that anything NBC reports needs to be verified with other sources.
The shooting was near a road behind the temple. The victims and the shooters name have not been reported. There has been no report of anyone from the temple being involved.
Do you have any more unsubstantiated bigoted comments to make?
Seems to me whats really needed is Mouth control since so many people keep shooting it off without any facts.
MSN, thanks for the less then intelligent comment.
Here, follow the link, click on the "Multiple People Shot" link.
http://www.10tv.com/
The reporter states the shooting occurred near a road behind the temple and you can see the area.
Just another inflammatory headline by NBC without any facts to substantiate the headline.
It has to do with overtly liberal NBC shrieking every time a gun goes off, while ignoring the 100 or so people killed every day on the roadways.
Not to mention the 200+ killed every day from alcohol, the THIRD leading cause of mortality.

Steven, you're exactly right. NBC is so blatantly biased. I thought journalists were supposed to report the news and remain unbiased. But lately, journalists, so-called ones anyway, always find a way to get their political agenda involved in a story. NBC is the worst offender.
They, among many others in the media, treat Obama and his equally self-involved, self-important wife as though they are royalty to be catered to at every turn. They also turn every shooting into a top story just to get the libs all lathered up. Do they ever report on a story where people have lived to see another day because they were able to shoot a home invader who had nothing but evil intent? Nope. But these are stories that happen often and you hear most often about those from your local media station. Yes libs. Get all up in arms, no pun intended, because guns are ALWAYS going to be available to those with malicious intent. Don't blame, yet again, law abiding citizens who have THE RIGHT to defend ourselves.
Thankfully I live in the great state of Texas and not some liberal, nanny state. The first family does not impress me. And Obama is by far, the worst president we have ever had. He hasn't done a thing to help this country take a turn for the better. He is great at reading teleprompters though. And for the lemmings out there, that was enough to vote him back in. All his empty promises. Sad. All he does is campaign. I can't wait until he's out of office. Of course, how much damage can this drama king cause in those four years? Scary to think about.
amazing, something happens and the damn news won't report it. They are stuck on that stupid murder case in Arizona. Luckily the internet tells all.
Nobody cares what PMSNBC writes anymore. Just a liberal rag with no credibilty.
EXACTLY my point. Thank you.
Devil please do not even bother to bring facts to the forum. Facts are just not allowed. They never ever miss a beat to slam the POTUS again w/o facts. Plus by reading the most ugly post hear they do not know how to spell either.
How damned pathetic.
Not even one comment before the political hate spewed forth.
Pat yourselves on the back. When the country completes its division, look into your own mirrors for the reason why.
Seriously. Stand up and take a bow. You earned it.
That's all I have to say. Now you all can go back acting like your better than each other.
One last thing. This is an article about a tragic shooting and not a Liberal and Conservative pissing match. Just please tell me you're not passing down your hate to your children.
Sharon, you might want to check your own spelling before you accuse others of lacking grammatical skill. *Here*, not *hear*. And how is it spewing hate to speak the truth about Barry? His record speaks for itself. I truly believe that if he could find a way, he would try to be president for the rest of his life. He is has no leadership skills. Not before becoming the POTUS and it shows, painfully. And he has yet to learn any. He just enjoys the title, the perks and the accolades from libs that he doesn't deserve. PATHETIC.
@Olivia. I wish I could vote you up more than once! Excellent posts!
Thank you! I just tell it like it is.
Where in your confused mind, this is just a normal day in the life of the right wingers, get mad go out and shoot someone ....
It tends to be liberals that go nuts and shoot up places. All of the last active shooters have been liberals, Cho, Laughtner and Dorner. You really need to ratchet down your hate Sam
You're wrong again, Andy.
I checked ALL their voter cards, b/c you didn't. All were registerd republiturds-- just like you!
Yeah, Dorner was a Republican? No, he was just like you in every way.
I guess I read a different story than you. Nowhere did I see anything about what the political persuesion or the type of gun used. I'm guessing it was probably some type of domestic. Also, the perp was one of the three "INJURED". I also don't see where anyone was shot.
What the hell it's all the rave in New York & Chicago!
Now they'll want to ban Mormons. Hmmmm, might not be a bad idea. :-D
You and the six others who gave you likes for this comment should be forced to attend an LDS sacrament meeting.
I am glad to see the liberal ideal of "tolerance, understanding and inclusion" is still thriving!
.
.
Capt...
I guess that you do not believe in fredom of religion..
Wow, looks like I pulled a Seth. I made a joke that 4 out of 11 people didn't understand. Mikey, I'm not like that. Steven, I'm independent to the nth degree. I don't like the Dumbocrats, the Repuglicans or the Pee Potty, and Ms. nurse, I also live in Fl and I do indeed believe in freedom of religion, and I also believe in freedom of speech, which I think includes the freedom to criticise. You all have a good evening. It's been a pleasure making your acquaintance. :-)
Late news tonight... shooter and the victims were not affiliated with the Mormon Church. Just happened to be driving by that location when the shooting started.
Hey, Mikey! I have attended a few LDS "sacrament" meetings, and I can tell you those people are whacked! Any CULT that requires its male members to wear Magic..uh, I mean "Holy" and "Sanctified" Underwear probably should be banned.
All this episode needed was a "good guy" with an Uzi to settle the score.
Well facisthater, at our church he would have been met with armed resistance. Uzi? No. Handguns yes.
Don't those the small eye holes in your white hoods make aiming your guns in church hard andy?
@ Kevin: Racist
Yes Kevin. Because those of us who own guns and believe in the right to bear arms, plus NOT THINKING Barry is a great president makes us racist. PATHETIC. You, sir, are the bigot.
Yo, Kev, I'm NOT a White Guy and I say that even you should have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms if you want to. Yeah -- even in church.
all the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run...better run...
More details will be nice to get. The article doesn't say what the suspect had to say or why he did it.
I will watch for more information.
Well NBC where is the perps name & a picture? What was the weapon? Was the weapon legally owned? Let's have some facts if you are going to write an article. It's called investigative journalism. Or is it that the only thing NBC can do is doctor videos and mis-quote people? Is the perp an anti-religious liberal? Is the perp being charged with a religious hate crime? I can see why your type of reporting puts NBC at the bottom of the ratings along with MSNBC.
With Axlerod coming on board all semblance of any journalism just flew out the door..Sheesh..Do you really think any fair or unbiased reporting is going to come now..Nah, it's just an open admission that the mainstream media is in the tank with Obama to destroy America...don't need to hide it anymore...DO THEY..
SO much hate for religion here.
...and liberals....right andy?
So what? That's because it deserves it. No, I'm not a libtard, nor a conservatard. Why should religion continue to get the free pass it's had for thousands of years? Why should I or anyone else respect your superstition? Because you say so? Yeah, right. "You must respect my religion" is the biggest, most sickening whine of all time. If your religion has credibility, it will stand on it's own without people like you whining and demanding respect about it. If it won't stand on its own, screw it. If your imaginary deity is so weak and small he/she/it needs people like you to defend it, well, I recommend that you get a deity with some balls who can stand on his own. Using religion or God to promote your self importance is pathological and that's what you're doing.
Religion is poison. Islam is plutonium.
I personally believe religion should be kept out of schools. ALL RELIGIONS. And I am a Christian. But here in Texas, of all places, some middle schools and high schools are teaching their students all about Islam and calling the 9/11 terrorists "freedom fighters". SICKENING.
And who do you libs think is pushing this "political agenda"? That's right. The liberals! So y'all are okay with teaching Islamic beliefs and teaching that the nutjobs who took 3,000 innocent lives were "freedom fighters"? This may seem off topic BUT the subject of religion was brought up, so I thought I add my own 2 cents. What SHOULD be taught in schools is history as it happened, not as the politically correct want our young people to believe it happened. Indoctrinating children is WRONG. Oh, and by the way, my brother converted to Islam and I support him. But I don't support radicals in any kind of religion.
Gee PrayHard - quite the tirade - how are those anger management classes going?
I'm not sure how you decide if a religion can "stand on it's own", but at 2000 years and 2 billion believers, I'd have to say Christianity is standing pretty well.
You're right about one thing - anyone who uses it to promote their own self importance has missed the whole point.
Troll on my friend - troll on
p.s. Jesus loves you :-D
Hey, Olivia, your "terrorists" are other folks' "freedom fighters". That's right, even Geo. Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benj. Franklin, etc, etc, etc, etc were labeled TERRORISTS by the people they were fighting!
I live near Columbus, OH. A witness on the local news stated that the shooting had nothing to do with the temple. The shooting carried over into the temple's parking lot.
And Connie Baby, Wanna have a good time? Call Me?
Gee, was the "carry over" from one of Cols. infamous late night clubs?
That's right Sparky!
Geeeez, Don't you Morons have a life? Who cares, Democrats, Liberals, Republicans, Aliens or Cubans. The fact is this is just another shooting story that the Jew media is pushing to get people in a tizzy. There are other stories out there much more worthy than this. Who cares if some Coon or some Spic get an illegal gun and goes ballistic. The media will always jump on this story because some snot nose Homo Geek Intern wants to make a name for himself. Freak em all!
Oh, Sparky, Sparky-You are naughty. Delete 3,2,1..........
Tell'n it like it is fruitcake!
Your anger could be the result of repressed memories of homosexual experiences or thoughts. Hypnosis is a viable treatment and could help you come to terms with your inner self.
Let's face it Sparkey. You need to get laid. You're begging for trim in the newsvine.
Mitt should be proud.
Why?
John, see above.
I live near Columbus, OH. A witness on the local news stated that the shooting had nothing to do with the temple. The shooting carried over into the temple's parking lot.
But you wanted it to be about Mormons SSOOOO bad , didn't you?
Sick of hearing it...I want to hear about the 12 year old who saved his baby sister by blowing the bad guys away with Paw's shotgun, The grandma who avoided being raped when she drew her .38 and wasted the sucker, The guy who heard his neighbors scream and shot the sucker who was breaking into the house next door... It happenes ya'know,....
And more often than most people think.
Gun ownership (legal, responsible) by WE THE PEOPLE certainly levels the playing field (and I'm all for that)
Some more details would be nice. It's amazing how if it's a "marketable" story how fast the media starts finding or creating details, but otherwise how they can't find their rumps with two hands. Here's hoping everybody's okay up there in Columbus.
I dig what your laying down sweetheart, I like the way you think. You must be some Classy Dame! I love you Baby! How nbout you and I get'n together sometime, I love your intellect.
Three people injured?......hmmmmm.....thought mormons being notoriously good shooters and gun lovers would left everybody dead......jejejejejejej
NBC etc. make plenty of money by offering only a few enticing crumbs, especially about violence or sex combined with religion or politics, to news-hungry readers as shark hunters get lots of prey by tossing out just a little bloody bait. If people were to quit reading this stuff, things would improve.
Time for some strict gun legislation and enforcement.
Takenaka, please if you care so much about the United Sates, move here and start paying taxes and work within the system. Funny thing is if there were more enforcement you would not even have to post.
How do you know Takenaka lives abroad? Unless he said so you are just assuming that with that name he lives in Japan.
So I must live in Russia, gee, I haven't even noticed!
ban takenaka as he wants to ban our 2nd ammendment ,so lets ban his first ammendment as payback
That's right, get rid of this noodle eat'n Jap American wannabe. Just remember who won the war Meatball! This is the greatest country on earth and I was proud to serve in the South Pacific as a gunner in the Marshall Island Pick'n off them Meatballs. Furgetaboutit!
Sparkey- You need to slow your roll. From one gunner to another; I served with people of all races, religions and creeds. I see no justification for your remarks.
When is someone going to print the story of the day? What is it you ask? The one about the 4500 babies murdered today. No one prints that story. Wonder why?
Simple, because they are not murder, just legal abortions done safely. Your deluded and mesianic christian half brain has not yet caught up with the law.
Try to educate yourself and stop telling people what to do with their bodies. People like you are more dangerous than the Taliban and would force every woman in the world to have children whether they want them or not, and in your holy high road would tell them to abstain from sex because it is a sin.
Did they not make a choice when they chose to have intercourse?
Rasputin 2589057: Suggest you get into some air-conditioning and cool it. It's a big planet and there is plenty of room for diversity of thought.
So I assume you are all for legalized prostitution, right? It is a woman's body and if she chooses to sell it for sex then I must assume every Pro-Choice liberal on earth wants legalized prostitution. The problem is that it is only an issue of "choice" to you liberals when it involves a choice you want left alone. Some "choices" seem to be more important to you than others.
You make it sound so.......sanitary.
Here's an eye-opener for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWLkl5mLU9E
How liberals can claim to care and be so heartless never ceases to amaze me.
4500 babies were murdered today?!? Please send me a link to just one of these stories.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_abortions_daily_in_US
Why do so many people get off the subject? I see nothing that any Mormons from the temple were involved. It could have been just people from anywhere got into an argument and the argument spread into a Mormon temple parking lot. Let's wait for more information on the story.
It wasn't even the temples parking lot, the shooting occurred near a road, behind the temple.
How you equate a shooting near a road behind a temple, to a shooting at the temple, must be more of that imaginative journalistic integrity of NBC.
As usual more reliable reporting by NBC.
Here's a link to a Local news channel.
The shooting was near a road behind the temple not at the temple.
http://www.10tv.com/
You can even see in the video that it is the road that is taped off behind the temple.
If NBC can't get the facts, then they just make 'em up.
Actual journalism requires too much effort, and besides, there's an agenda to fulfill.
.
Watching the collapse of a great nation is horrible.
Actually Steven, that's the way all media works. What's your agenda?
What needs to be different to not make it collapse?
What's best for the Nation and her People.
Austerity.
.
@What needs to be different to not make it collapse?
I believe I answered that in post #25.
Obviously the shooters only had a learner's permit...
And tonight, at 7PM sharp, the NRA will throw yet another party celebrating this latest shooting, free drinks, bring your AR15 to look macho.
You've never been to an NRA party I'm guessing...they pass out free ammo and liberal's addresses...
The NRA is a
Place to learn firearms safety:

Place for Law Enforcement training and competitions:

Place to see the National Firearms Museum:

Place to train for the Olympics:

Place to go to purchase a WWII M-1 Garand Rifle through the Civilian Marksmanship Program:

.
Instead of blindly bashing an organization you know nothing about, shall we have a real discussion on what seem to be the commonalities and causes of these school shooting tragedies?
In which one of these activities that you mention does the NRA lobby law makers?
None. Did you see any on these websites?
The NRA is of, by and for the People. And, they have the law on their side. That's what makes them so powerful.
Now, why do you suppose that there has been virtually no enforcement of the law under the NICS system, put in place around 1993 to prevent criminals from buying firearms?
.
What's the sense of passing laws that aren't going to be enforced?
.
The NRA has been teaching gun safety to young children since 1988. What has the left done to teach any kind of gun safety to children?
http://www.nra.org/Article.aspx?id=1353
Think they will prosecute this as a "Hate" crime since it was just an LDS church and not a Jewish Temple or Mosque?
Ban Joseph Smith!
Ban the ignorance of your statement! The country was founded on "Freedom of Religion". That means the right for anyone to believe what they want; whether you personally agree to those beliefs or not.. Don't like it, move to Russia!...
BAN larry thacker!!!
...'JUST an LDS church'?
Honor, courage, integrity, trustworthiness, respect, humility, empathy, compassion and love are all noble values. Values such as these will reduce violence. These values can not be legislated. No law will change the hearts of humans.
As parents, brothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, etc we can all be examples of these values and teach others the importance of these values. The ills of a community are the responsibility of each and every member of that community. When the members of a community take on this responsibility, great things happen.
This is a solution that will reduce murders and other crimes. It has been proven effective century after century in countless places.
Damn, there are some people that understand the real problem!! And solution...
I think it was Obama,.....he's a muslem and they hate Mormons.
You can't even spell right so shut the hell up and re-take 5th grade again before you post another stupid comment.
freddy4life you are so very foolish. That lie is long dead and buried. Get over it. President is a Christian and unfortunately they hate Mormons and always have. Many so called Christians just sided with Mitt because they are bigots and against the black man. You lost and deserved to do so and gun control is needed in this country to begin cutting down on this type of violence. This is a daily occurance in America with over 2000 dead since January 1st. It is ignorant people like you that are a problem in America today.
