President Barack Obama addressed the gruesome attack Thursday (June 18).

“I’ve had to make statements like these too many times,” he said. Yet again, he added, innocent people have been killed by someone “who wanted to inflict harm and had no problem attaining a gun.” “At some point we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this kind of mass violence doesn’t happen in other advance countries,” he said.

  1. So he’s not going to get the death penalty? I wonder if he was brown would he have even been caught alive? Pretty sure they would of put 40 rounds into him. But since he’s not a minority or Muslim he must be mentally unstable, bullied in school, his parents beat him, his parents are divorced, no father figure ect…. pick one and let’s see what the “media” says

    • He was on psych drugs they say. “Suboxone”. So life is so stressful for them they can’t help but have mental problems. But what if you’re a kid growing up in a “hood” especially like a housing projects, that’s gang infested, dope fiends everywhere, where even the cops are dangerous and aggressive-what would the stress levels be for a person there?

    • I le­ft m­y old work an­d now I get paid 85 bucks per h. How i did it? I am working via internet at my home! My old work was making me miserable ,so I made a decision to try something new for a change… 2 years after…I say I couldn’t be happier! This is what i do…

  2. Watch how the authorities and media bombard us with a host of poor little Dylann childhood fluff stories about where did he go wrong in his pathetic life. This monster is a homemade Terrorist that was unleashed by the Federal Government end of story.
