Page 927 - Killers News Today

Welcome back to the lead. i am jake tapper live from outside the navy yard in washington, d.c., the scene of monday mornings horrific shooting rampage. it is a story line tragically all too familiar, a young male with a gun snaps for one reason or another and sets out to take as many lives as we can. what we learned about the killers and aftermath follows a similar tread and quiet and showed signs of mental illness and didnt receive adequate treatment and in many instances they shared a common p...

Watch -- playing the game online with another individual which was a pretty bloody game, of shooting and he spent more time doing that than entertaining his guests and i commented to aaron on that that wow, man, are you in your 30s, dude, you need to let that stuff go. >> we heard the same thing from another of his friends who said that he would play all of these games all day and all night and similar to what we heard about the newtown school shooter and columbine killers that reportedly played...

Doesnt exist. >> what doesnt exist? >> if there were mistakes -- and yes, they kept it off the front pages as much as they could before the election. i agree. i think there was an epic scandal here? epic this. >> bob, you just said they kept it off the front pages. thats epic. >> you are pro-spro-syria. youre like bomb the hell out of syria. >> its women and children, thats why. >> no, no, hes not. no, hes not. its because he supports obama. so if the president says its go time hes, like, i feel...

K.g.? >> yes. >> what do you make of the media coverage so far of this? do you think they sensationalize violence by covering the villain? >> i think by virtue of having to cover the story because it is a major news event, its going to seem sensationalized because the events themselves are so heinous and so atrocious. so im torn between not wanting to give them the attention that they so separately seek, like you said, these villains of disaster, of epic proportions, and also the responsibility ...

Allowed to play? >> yeah, i have two wonderful children. theyre not allowed to play. it is not because i am scared that playing grand theft auto is going to turn them into a killer or anything, the reason why we protect our children from violence, from violent video games and even from discussing sometimes watching cnn even, it is simply because we try to shield our children from violence. we dont want to make them to be scared. it is not because we are going to make them to be killers. i think ...

Citizens, not cops, but ordinary, armed folks firing their weapons into that blur of panic and confusion. take a second and think whether thats going to make things better. but thats the argument coming from some gun rights advocates. these folks claim that killers methodically and deliberately choose sites where firearms are prohibited, gun-free zones, where there will be nobody on hand with a gun to stop them. almost immediately after the navy yard shooting was first even reported with the sme...

Trained to respond specifically to terrorist threats, shot and killed an armed murder suspect, but amid the chaos, nine bystanders were also shot. an 11-year study ending in 2006 that looked at the rate in which new york police fired their guns found that officers hit their targets just 34% of the time. now, take a moment and think about the mass confusion that typifies mass shootings like the one that we saw this morning. a lot of the time, we cant tell how many shooters there are. eyewitnesses...

Offenses. he feels that people are talking about him, people have treated him unfairly. but he accumulates these, chuck. just like a scale and they start to add up and add up and add up and eventually he focuses on some individual, some organization, and he feels justified, feels he has a right to strike out and do something to take his revenge, but again, like so many mass killers, he doesnt want to be held responsible for it. he doesnt have an exit plan so, he sees himself going out in a blaze...

Does that mean the obama administration will call it terror? it will be like opposite day. i dont know. nothing ever really changes. going back to the point about military bases not being armed, gun-free zones dont do much of any good for anybody. video games. a lot of talk about these video games. i looked it up. 2012 you have $15 billion thats double since 2002. you see a huge increase in use of video games. no correspondent rise in mass killing that fall in line. that argument to me is not a ...

And gun capable of responding to a situation like this. so the issue is note getting enough men and women in law enforcement to respond, the issue was using those resources, responsively. theres going to be a lot of leads to cover. theres hundreds of badge carrying men and women out there right now. so somebody has got to take control and the fbi in a very big situation like this has the computer and experience. unfortunately because we have to work these big crimes to work this. so they will wi...
