Is it that hard to believe that some deranged/depressed/jaded/whatever person saw the last shooting on the news and all the attention it generated for the shooter and decided to do the same thing?
There are people whose life is already sad and seemingly meaningless and they are desperate for attention or acknowledgement of their existence so this is basically the only way they can get it before they die, their 15 minutes of fame so to speak, by killing a bunch of people. There's also plenty of mentally ill people out there who will see news headlines and construct elaborate stories in their mind about how it connects to them and they must do something.
Not everything is a conspiracy, though ATS tries to turn literally every single headline like this into one (seriously I have never seen a mass shooting that doesn't get turned into some "conspiracy" here and I challenge anyone to present a single example of a headline like this that ATS didn't try to make a conspiracy). It seems like ATS has this delusion that mentally unstable/ill people do not exist and no one is capable of killing other people without the govt, tptb, nwo, mindcontrol, HAARP, or whatever else being involved. Some people just do horrible things like this, people have been murdering other people throughout history without the govt or aliens or mindcontrol whatever other nonsense being involved. Come on folks, two shootings happening at malls/theaters is FAR from enough evidence to claim a conspiracy.edit on 12-12-2012 by darkest4 because: (no reason given)

My God! Two different shopping malls in America have a chain movie theater in them!
You've really blown the lid off this thing.
Next you'll tell me that both malls had a Gap and a soft pretzel place.

KCC to Host SWAT Training Tuesday December 11
Members of the Klamath Falls S.W.A.T. Team will be on site at Klamath Community College on Tuesday, December 11, to administer a role play training for college employees. S.W.A.T.
Team members will train employees on proper response to a variety of potential emergency incidents, including having an active shooter on campus. “You never want to think about the worst case scenario,” said KCC President Roberto Gutierrez, “but as administrators, we would be remiss if we did not make sure our employees are trained for any possible occurrence.
This is all about safety: the safety of our employees as well as our students.”
The training exercise provides benefit to S.W.A.T. Team members as well, who will gain a better understanding of the facilities and layout of KCC, should they ever be called on to respond to an incident at the college.
Is that....... the SAME county...!?
If i correctly used google maps, i believe they are 4 hours apart.
That's not a terrible coincidence then. It is however funny that there's always a drill coinciding with a tragedy.. smh
Well put. I'm personally one to believe that there is a conspiracy, if nothing, to control guns. We know that the government wants to take our guns away, they just have to trick the public to do it.
Now, all of that being said, I don't know what to make of this. I see that there are connections, and then I also know that sometimes people are just crazy. Bad things happen that don't make sense. As Heff mentioned, you can't put rationale on the irrational.
BUT, if there is a conspiracy here, I believe it lies in the media reporting. And I believe it's purpose is to control us.
If this was some sort of authority trying to put fear within the people; they could of picked a man with a better shot.. he got 3 people, including himself .. sure they have the money and connection to grab all this armor and ammunition, but they dont have the brains to pull it off the way it should of been. (Dont take this the wrong way people, Im DISGUSTED as you are)
Strange that they are not yet releasing his name.....

Speculation.

Early reports, that have now disappeared, stated the shooter was a 17 year old male. That is not verified and may have been incorrect. But if it was correct, three something in the afternoon would be after school and would make sense.

Possible connection, 17yr old male arrested 5 days ago. Possibly got bail and acted out? We'll see.
The guy at the top of this page - page 5 posted this, that said I never even considered it could be the same guy. That said with all the drugs and guns he was caught with surely they would keep him locked up longer than 4 or 5 days. The Hockey mask is the piece that gives me chills along with the age. I'm leaning towards accomplice, one was caught so the other went on a rampage alone. Total theory though.

This thought struck me as odd... Why would he be wearing a bulletproof vest, only to shoot himself? He was either intent on a shootout, or intent on ending his own life. I can't find a reason to wear a vest if he was planning on shooting himself when it was all said and done. Thoughts?
