1. Where the hell were those supposed good guys with a gun?!?!?

Seeing that they are all gun crazy in Idaho, I have a feeling that this good guy with a gun coming to the rescue is just complete bullshit.

2. There Was A "Good Guy" There

Unfortunately they got shot though. I guess they're just a lousy officer, because they're supposed to be reliable in defeating the bad guy before they hurt someone.

What do you expect from a Shithole country anyways?

14. There are no mass shootings in freedom loving red states

An armed society is a polite society. oh wait....

3. I hope the wannabe killer spends a long ass life in jail. Nt

21. Now dead

He will have to settle for a one-way ticket to hell. I don't really believe in such a place, but it would be quite fitting for cowardly murderous scum like him and others who decide to brandish weapons in public places with a premeditated intent of killing and terrorizing innocent citizens.

4. It is a simple equation Gun+Nut equals Shooting

And it goes Gun²+Nut²=Multiple bang bangs.

7. That's Bundy country. nt

10. Boise is the most liberal city in the state, and this was right outside of town.

If anywhere is Idaho is "Bundy Country", then I guess that fits.

To me, Bundy Country is Burns Oregon.

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. Isn't Boise in Mormon country?

Bundy was running for Governor of Idaho the last I heard.
I also read just recently that his group is really growing.


I am from Spokane and CdA so I am not very familiar with Southern Idaho.

[maxsolomon]

12. True, all of S ID is Momo Country.

Sure enough, you're right; he's running for Gov.

I guess, like Salt Lake, that Boise is where the non-Mormons gather for safety.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. That could be. I just never thought of Boise as liberal.

The Bundys are scum.

[Zambero]

15. Just for the record

Boise has a comparatively low percentage of LDS members, in the range of 15-20%. The rest of Ada county and adjacent Canyon County is closer to 25%. In a metro area of 750,000 that still amounts to a lot of members, although the same can be said of Catholic, mainline Protestant, Evangelical, and unaffiliated citizens. Idaho's LDS "stronghold" (for lack of a better term) is in the southeast region of the state which includes Rexburg (97% by one account), Twin Falls, and Idaho Falls. Pocatello is less-so.

Boise is considered "liberal" but that is by Idaho standards. In presidential elections, the city voted for Obama twice, for Hillary, and for Biden, but not by wide margins. Parts of Boise are solid blue, particularly the north end, the "Bench", and precincts adjacent to and including the downtown area. The mayor and city council members are Democrats (although the positions themselves are non-partisan), as are the majority of state legislators who represent the city. The rest of the state, excluding Moscow and Ketchum / Blaine County, is deep red.

16. The Bundys

The last I heard, Ammon Bundy resided in Emmett, a small agricultural community located in Gem County.

[maxsolomon]

18. That's my understanding of Boise/Idaho as well.

I have a friend who lives out in Eagle. It's turned her into a Trumper; she'd have been better off living closer to town.

[Zambero]

20. I know a few Eagle-ites who remain unaffected by their political environment

Trumpers in general appear to have a deep-seated character flaw that shows up as an inversion of reality based on a constant flow of misinformation being directed at them

19. Thank you.

8. Time to trot out my standard response to a mass shooting

[maxsolomon]

9. Pew pew, America

2:15 on a Monday afternoon; mass shooting. Anywhere, anytime, any reason.

It's the guns.

17. ever notice the press now uses 'injured' instead of 'wounded' in regards to shootings anymore?
