    I have to say that I appreciate guns and I understand and respect their power, they are designed to kill and are that powerful. I'd say that suicides are extremely easy to commit on firearms, because it only takes a nanosecond to make that wrong choice which can't be taken back. Too easy. These shootings are extended suicides almost always, part of some operation or not.

    Knowing that you carry that deadly force with you sure is some kind of a (macho pride) "thing" for men, at least it seems to be so in many places in America. Some say that thing is just the feeling of security. I wouldn't feel secure knowing that people around me carry guns by the loads. Then again, I don't really trust people anyways, but I don't expect them to attack me either. That doesn't either make me want to get a gun, but here in Scandinavia you couldn't get a handgun for self-defence anyways. You have to be a hunter or at least you have to be a part of a gun club in order to own any guns. People with history of crimes or mental illness probably might get denied the permit. I have a long history of depression so that probably makes me a persona non grata when it comes to gun ownership. Thankfully I didn't own a gun in my worst times, because I wouldn't probably be here anymore. Even then I wouldn't have been asshole enough to take others with me, because I'm bad at hating. Guns must be stored in safe vault always, except when you are carrying them in a case to the shooting range or whereever you might be going to shooting.

    Guns have their place, but in the hands of the responsible people. You certainly can't collect them away from people anymore, but still many wonder what the hell would be the solution to these massacres. At least make extensive medical background checks necessary for everyone, don't let mentally disturbed people get guns, those are the basics or at least should be. Antidepressants are to be at blame too, but also there's just something wrong with the way people think. I suppose this is just the sign of where we are as a species collectively. Quite a low level of consciouness collectively. When shits hit the fan and it will sooner or later, it might be a revolution which will be bloody like the civil war if not more dreadful in America. Unless something absolutely miraculous happens to people and I don't see it happening, at least not fast enough.

    I couldn't help but think about America still being the wild west. Wild west with millions of deadly, rapid firing guns in the hands of millions of people. When we Europeans view America and for example it's gun laws, in some ways the gun freedoms might seem cool to us men, but on the other hand the carnage people caused with them all the time seems insane to us. The phrase live by the sword, die by the sword comes to my mind. I suppose cultures are just very different across the continents. Would have Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. made such an impact with their movements if they would have tried guns to achieve peace?

    Black op or psy op - all faked news. All scripted and all run to a NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Protocol. Here on this website - I have even provided a link for the companies that provide Crisis Actors. The events are even rehearsed.

    As for someone knowing someone directly related to the black op or psy op - that is a new technique. People are waking up - in wave after wave after wave. Those who say that, someone from their neighbourhood or from their workplace - was directly involved or their Child died et cetera. It is all part of the script.

    The general planning and rehearsal and the manner in which the black op or psy op is played out is fairly much the same - but - because People are waking up - the after effects may begin to differ.

    There are video surveillance cameras everywhere. There are more satellites in the upper atmospheres than there are grains of sand on the beach - I exaggerate to clarify. Cars have GPS - not just to provide directions to a location - it is quite the opposite - it is so the satellites can trace and track each vehicle whenever necessary.

    Smartphones and smart televisions - nothing smart about them. They are designed to trace and track and even use a camera to watch - in real time.

    Guns don't kill People. Lies and deception kill People. People sign up to any Military Service and they are trained to kill. I was an operational Police Officer - I was given a gun to have on my hip everytime I was on duty. It was given to me because Common Law dictated that the People wanted Police to be armed.

    The point I am trying to make is this; Chaos is abundant. Psychopaths (Sociopaths is the modern term) and Narcissists don't care who they hurt. Whether it is a black op or a psy op or a fake news item.

    Fear is the main control mechanism of NLP. Keep the majority of the People afraid and you can control them and even their actions and thoughts.

    Take care People - take great care of your mind as it is the last part of the puzzle. Your mind is connected to your Soul and whether we like it or not - we are All Connected to One Another. Look for the lies and deceit and learn to recognize your instincts telling you of what to be aware.

    Much Peace & Much Respect - Amanda

    I feel your frustration, Nothing. More people will die and probably nothing will change. It's just mind-numbing, but I think I'm just gonna shut up about it now.

    I have not seen Amanda suggesting anything of that nature, Nothing. She was clearly speaking in far more general terms.

    While the US mainstream media continues it's usual exemplary job of promoting narratives and hysteria, let me turn my collar to the whirlwind and ask a couple of level headed questions:

    - Has anyone seen *one* shred of evidence that Nikolas Cruz was a shooter?

    - Has anyone seen *one* picture or video of him with gun in hand at the school?

    - Has anyone seen *one* person say yes, I saw him there with a gun?

    - Has anyone seen *one* person say yes, that's the guy I saw shoot my friend or teacher?

    - And lastly, does it matter?
    The unexamined life is not worth living.

    It matters to him, his family and friends, his community.

    I haven't seen much other than the arial views repeated ad nauseum first day. I'll have a looksie...

    Have you seen any of the footage from students cell phones? What I've seen includes desk legs, crouched students, very loud gunfire, screaming and crying. I doubt any student was hanging nearby taking pictures while he was shooting.


    This young man had apparently expressed specific desires to shoot up the school. He said that to a classmate who informed the school. He was also found to have bullet casings in his backpack at school which caused trouble.

    He was adopted and recently lost his mother to the flu. He was in therapy. He was living with friends who knew he had the gun. The father made him lock it in a safe as a condition of staying with them.

    The Daily Mail has a (deliberately)blurred cell phone image of legs and blood. (not going to link to it)

    (someone's across the street shooting a gun while I'm typing this. It's not uncommon for hunters to be around but this sounds like someone in their backyard. it used to be rural around here)

    There's footage of his arrest. He was put in a cruiser, then taken out, put in a stretcher and taken to the hospital. He was treated. I don't know for what. Certainly they looked him over.

    He was then booked and there's footage of him going in wearing a hospital gown. He was cuffed and holding it closed behind himself to cover his ass. I guess his clothes are evidence.
