The suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was arrested near his car a half-mile away, the FBI said. He was not immediately charged.
FBI officials would not comment on a motive. And Police Chief Tim McKenna said authorities “have a lot of homework to do yet” in their investigation. But 15-year-old Danny Komertz, who witnessed the shooting, said the gunman was known as an outcast who had apparently been bullied.
As you might have heard there has been a school shooting in Chardon, Ohio, which I believe is near Cleveland. It has been confirmed that one student is dead.
HotAir.com is reporting that the shooter is in custody and that there was some sort of a warning on twitter last night. UrbanGrounds says that students and teachers being armed would stop this sort of thing. I agree on the teachers; but I really do not think that junior high students should be armed. High School seniors, maybe. Junior High students? No Way.
I think that it is just a reflection on society really. As long as there are jocks, as long as there are outcasts, stuff like this shooting will take place. I also see here that the shooter was targeting people. This is not a big shock to me, this kid was obviously pissed at some people and was out for revenge. Now he will be tried as an adult and spend the rest of his life in jail.
A life wasted and a life lost; and many lives ruined and scarred; over a bunch of high schooler stupidity. What a waste. 🙁
Update: Before any idiot liberals come by here and try to say that I am a hypocrite for writing this here. I will say this; there is a big difference between oppressive Government pushing someone to do something like this and some kid being pushed by other kids to do something like this. It is a totally different situation and if liberals don’t get that, then they should not be writing on a blog, much less driving a car. 😡
This is unreal:

All I will say about this little incident right here is this; Police organizations wonder why things, as shown in the video below happen. Well, it might be because the police, who are agents of the state, are trampling people’s rights. Let me say that in the case above, something like that which is shown in the video below, would be entirely justified, and frankly, should have happened. As a rule, I do not condone violence of any kind; but in this case, I would have a very hard time condemning this man, should he had chose to do anything of that sort.
This, in this writer’s opinion, is the true definition of terrorism and it should be fought against very harshly. Speaking of which, where is the Conservative President of Canada? I guess Conservatism means something entirely different in Canada, than it does here in America.
Via Daily Caller:
Here is where Ann Coulter is full of crap, as always; Mitt Romney is as much of a Big Government Conservative or Statist as Rick Santorum, I have written about this Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, and Here
The only reason that Ann Coulter is in the tank for Romney is because she believes, for whatever reason, that Mitt Romney is electable. Perhaps Ann should look at this picture and Video here taken at Ford Field here in Detroit: (via C4P)
and now said video:
Ann might want to rethink that idiotic position, and quick. The man has no hope of being elected President of the United States at all. Now does Rick Santorum stand a chance? As much as I would like to think so, I just do not think that Independents, which make up a good deal of the American voters in the Country, will vote for Santorum. Newt is toast, he will not win Michigan either. Ron Paul will not win either, because of the power of the various lobbies that control the Republican Party. So, it’s either hold your nose and vote for Romney or suffer another four years of Obama. Which would you do?
As many of you know; I was initially was for the invasion of Iraq back in 2003, at the time; like most people, I was under the impression that Iraq had WMD’s. Well, like most people, I was very wrong about that impression, after it came out that the United States was never able to find said WMD’s. Having said all of that; here is the mess that United States of America created in the invasion and removal of Saddam:
In the latest attack, a series of bombings and shootings across the country on Thursday killed 55 and wounded more than 225. Al Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attacks.
In a 33-minute audio statement posted on an extremist website, al-Adnani warned of an impending “stage of real confrontation and war against the despicable (Shiites).”
“The war of the Sunnis with the (Shiites) is a religious war, a holy war of faith,” he said, according to a translation of the remarks provided by the SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks Islamist extremist messages. “There is no way out of it and there is no swerving from it.”
His comments played on fears of a new surge in sectarian violence two months after the American military withdrawal from Iraq. Attacks are nowhere as frequent as they were during the tit-for-tat sectarian fighting from 2005 to 2007.
Tensions between Sunni and Shiite Muslims have lingered for centuries since Islam split into the two sects after the death of the Prophet Muhammed in 632. In Iraq, the minority Sunnis have feared being politically sidelined since the overthrow of Saddam’s Sunni-led regime.

First of all, I thought we defeated Al-Qaeda in Iraq ? Did I not see this huge celebration in the blogosphere and on Fox News, about how our Military defeated Al-Qaeda in Iraq? I guess not. Of course, I really do know what happened; before some liberal starts saying that I “saw the light” or something silly like that. What really happens was this; we never actually totally defeated Al-Qaeda in Iraq, we set them back a bit, by killing their leader and cutting off a good amount of their funds from other countries.
Of course, like the termites that they are; they recovered, possibly by funding from Iran or by elements of the corrupt Iraq Government that we put into place; and now they are attacking Shiites. Which is why George W. Bush did not want to leave the Country so quickly, in the first place. This not say that I did not or do not support the boots on the ground; I support our Military in anything that they do. This is because they are just doing their jobs. Now, as far as the politics of said operation is concerned; I thought that once the specter of WMD was out of the question; we should have just left. This was before Al-Qaeda in Iraq ever was formed at all. In fact, Al-Qaeda in Iraq did not set up shop in Iraq until like a year or so after the invasion!
Either way, all of that above that I have written in that second paragraph is now past history and there is no point in griping about the past. It is over and it happened and now we have to deal with what is coming down the pike now. I look for the United States to end going back into the Country Iraq, again; to stop this War. This most likely will not happen under an Obama administration, unless he absolutely has to; because it would hurt him politically. However, if a Republican does win, I could see us going back into Iraq again soon. For the Country’s fiscal sake, I hope we are able to avoid going in there again. Getting in the middle of wars of this sort only gets the United States in trouble with the international community. Like Vietnam and Korea, us going into these Countries to settle disputes, often fails and fails badly.
Sometimes I think Joe Biden might have actually been right. Maybe he should have just walled of the city and given one part to one group and another part to the other group. Maybe this sort of stuff would not be happening now. It is just a thought, I mean, I would rather deal with two separate Countries and they be peaceful ones, than to deal with one huge waring Country.
You know the one’s that the media just had to have?
Well, now the MSM is lying about the contents of those e-mails.
Much to their credit; Conservatives for Palin, the only group of Palin supporters out there; are fishing those e-mails and getting the TRUE info out there about the content of those e-mails.
God love them all; those C4P people are on it. Heck, I’m more impressed with the C4P people, than I was Sarah Palin herself! 😯
I was not a huge fan of Palin’s when she was running; but that was because the people handling her were complete and utter buffoons. But I will give her defenders at C4P credit for this here; Sarah Palin could sing “Hail Satan!” in her underwear horribly out of key and those gals would defend her! 😉 In other words; they’re a faithful lot. There’s much to be said about that, especially today’s political world. (of which I know much about these days!)
Good job Ladies and yes, you guys over there too! 😀
It’s too late for 2012, but man she would get my vote in 2016 in a heartbeat! This is Kira Davis. I would say that I am smitten; but, naturally, she’s married. Heart-Ache, Heart-Ache indeed. 🙁
