I thought two pistols were used in the attack and that the AR was recovered from his vehicle. At least that was the story reported.

This is why we have so many conspiracy theories about almost everything out there.
We assume that what we hear in the media is the final facts.
The police investigators have said very little about the case. Almost eveything we have heard is hearsay and second hand.
The consensous is he used the AR to shoot everybody and then a handgun on himself.

Well to to DIY and you had proper channels to get the parts and plans, tools to do it then it's not entirely impossible. The thing is DIY illegally you risk your own life if it's machined wrong and you always have a risk going to jail owning it. That's why these pre 1996 full auto's cost as much as a car. To my understanding It is illegal to convert anything. You have to buy one that is already grandfathered in so to speak.

I hope you all don't believe the filth that is pouring from your sick, twisted minds. Are you kidding me. Stop portraying a child murderer as a victim. It's sick. Disgusting, Disrespectful. The last moments those children experienced was sheer terror at the hands of this young man. It's one thing to say someone else was involved and got away, it's a whole nother thing to portray him as a victim.

Came across this snippet of a news recording, where the dad is talking about his murdered child. Before he gets on the mic, he is seen laughing and joking. NO PARENT WHOSE KID JUST GOT MURDERED CAN DO THIS!!! I don't care what anyone says.
THIS should go VIRAL.

The media can't seem to get their story together on this, so why should we rush to believe what they're feeding us now?
Have you been keeping track of all the revisions the story has gone through so far?
'Exactly. Heasay is considered evidence on this site, and evidence a lie.

Yes, it's called reporting the facts without checking, due to the media rushing to be the first to report and beat the internet to the punch. Heck, remember the made up story that swallowing manfluid reduced a womans chance of breast cancer being reported in the media as fact before they realized it was a hoax? Come on, common sense states that the media is horrible no a days. All this points to is the lousy ability of today's media, most of it is amateur and internet based as well. A rush to publish first, or be left behind.

They didn't have nearly as many issues with the shooting in Oregon just days before this happened. They waited to release details, and, as far as I know, most of those details have held up.edit on 19-12-2012 by 5K3P7IC41 because: format
The first organization (or person for that matter) to break the news gets all the glory. Few care about accuracy if the report turns out to be rumor. If the story is true, it’s the first to report that gets all the credit. This begs the question, does accuracy in reporting still matter? I think it does, but journalists have less time to check your facts and verify sources than before. Fact-checking often comes as the story develops, after it’s been reported. This changes the way consumers adapt to the flow of information.

The story ive heard is that the rifle was found in the trunk of the car...locked up as it were...and the two to four handguns were the primary weapons used
Now i hear that all the casualties were suffering 223 cal wounds with 223 cal shells littering the area....
the suspect was supposedly found with two handguns....
The rifle was recovered from the trunk....so who had the 223 that did this crime?
We are getting way too much conflicting info and that in itself smacks of a cover up and an agenda.
Whee are all the mags?
He didnt have time to reload them i dont think....
Who were the other people arrested?
One in the woods and two the police confronted?
Also one seen by a child down on the ground in cuffs by the firestation?
the police are being far too tight lipped.....if this was an open shut case wed have better information by now.....
that's what i been saying!

Wow, so many experts in criminal and human psychology, and profiling around here! I wonder why the media doesn't just call you all to investigate this horrific incident. Heck, why don’t the authorities as well?
Amazing how many “holes” have been found in evidence that hasn't even been finished being investigated yet. Unfortunately, in this new world of instant demand for information, we don’t get the accurate story, but that’s the price for instant gratification. I would suggest taking a breather, let the damn police finish their investigation, and if you want to nit pick their findings, have at it. You just can’t logically argue when we don’t have the facts.
