Garden State Plaza Mall Shooting Ends With Gunman Taking His Life
Last's night latest mass shooting event, just three days after a comparable situation at LAX airport, and this time just minutes away from New York City, is over with the alleged gunman, Richard Shoop, 20, taking his life.
The gunman who opened fire inside a sprawling New Jersey mall was found dead inside the mall early this morning with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
Authorities identified the suspect as Richard Shoop, 20, of Teaneck, N.J., and said his body was found in a back area of mall around 3:20 a.m.
Police discovered his body more than six hours after they say Shoop entered the Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall Monday night and fired his weapon at least six times, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said at an early morning news conference. The gun, described as a modified rifle, was owned lawfully by his brother, Molinelli said.
Police are still sweeping the 2.2-million-square-foot building in Paramus to make sure all shoppers and employees evacuated. About 400 people were still inside the mall when police ordered a lockdown of the entire building.
There have been no other reported injuries at this time.
Shoop, according to Molinell, has a history of drug abuse and is known to law enforcement in Bergan County. Molinell said Shoop's drug of choice was MDMA, also known as "Molly."
Police found a suicide note at Shoop's home, but did not disclose what was written.
Bergan County spokeswoman Jeanne Baratta said the first call came in shortly after 9 p.m. that a gunman was inside the mall. Police initially responded to an "active shooter" alert after reports of multiple shots fired.
Baratta said SWAT teams and other police agencies converged on the mall. Authorities swept the mall because they were unsure whether the gunman was still inside. Paramus Mayor Rich LaBarbiera intially said police found one shell casing inside the mall.
Panicked shoppers raced toward the exits or hid inside the mall. Witnesses said they saw authorities running inside the mall with their weapons drawn. The mall was immediately placed on lockdown.
Multiple eyewitnesses said the shooter was armed with some kind of rifle, wearing a motorcycle-style helmet and black clothing.
WATCH: Police Respond to Shooting at New Jersey Shopping Mall
Mall restaurant employee Joseph Rivera said his co-workers saw the suspect "…in full body armor. He had a huge rifle and a helmet on."
Eric Delgado, 20, was shopping with friends inside the mall when heard a gunshot and saw the gunman. After Delgado saw the gunman, he along with seven others hid in a dressing room for 45 minutes and heard a second gunshot.
"He didn't seem that he wanted to kill anyone because he clearly could of because there were people two feet in front of him that he could have shot at, but he didn't shoot at them. Instead he shot towards the ceiling…" Delgado said.
A staging area has been set up near Chili's Grill & Bar for family members to be reunited with anyone inside the mall during the lockdown.
Law enforcement officials have been informed by management of the Garden State Plaza Mall that it will be closed today. No word on when it will re-open.
The Garden State Plaza Mall, about 25 miles west of New York City, features more than 300 retail stores including Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Gucci and Louis Vuitton.

He looks like Justin Bieber.

It would appear the long-awaited false flag has begun.
12 gauge AR-15 was it?
Ban the long shotgun!
Maybe we should just ban crazy people.....I'm off to call my Congressman.
Thank goodness for the 2nd amendment.....these crazy loons are everywhere.
What is a "modified rifle"? This should be good, and yes AR, AK, 15, 47, Glock, automatic, black, assault, military, killing machine, etc... will be used to describe whatever type of gun he used.
Will we be told as much about the drugs (legal and illegal) that were flowing through this psycho's thimble sized brain?
AR-74?
MSNBC is reporting "a modified Glock ak-15, black, military assault rifle, automatic child killing machine" was used by the white, right wing, male shooter.
And so it begins...

In order to prevent any silly talk of a totalitarian state, we will now implement a totalitarian state.
I think you mean high-powered military-style shotgun.
We call those sporting shotguns in flyover country.
"The Garden State Plaza Mall, about 25 miles west of New York City, features more than 300 retail stores including Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Gucci and Louis Britton."
-- I'm so glad they added that at the end, because it's highly relevant to the story here (free advertising is good, don't 'ya know)...
...highly classy in a "Snookie" kinda' way.
I'd rather hear about the serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor blood levels of all these shooters.
SSRI = Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor.
But yes, you are right...these days anyone should be tested for taking any SSRI's if they become violent, suicidal and/or homicidal.
If anyone hasn't read the 1963 stated goals of Communism in America which were entered into the Congressional Record, you should look them over below: They've pretty much checked off everything on the list that are the big deals...infiltrating the psychiatric profession and our school systems and using these psych drugs as chemical weapons on people's brains has been a huge benefit to this treasonous government against the American people.

Communist Goals (1963)
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
+1 Looks like they have met their goals.
the list seems bullshit....
like ex post facto McCarthy era agitprop....
I call bullshit
Although I appreciate the irony, you do realize that you have pasted the Goals of Communism, AS DETERMINED BY... an outspoken anti-communist?
Looks like the Soviet Union is no more.
if boredom ever besets you, take a look into the history of ssri in terms of development... take a trip to argentina and bring a paperclip..... boys from brazil was only one aspect if what was going on in the southern hemisphere
maybe now a shooter-sale
falling prices, in aisle 3
There's only 49 more shopping days until Christmas........

I am avoiding all crowds this xmas
I hear it was a weaponized, AR style, AK-47 AKA Assult Rifle in 22lr-handgun
...seriously CNNP said it was a handgun that had attchments that make it look like an AK
"There have been no other reported injuries at this time."
In what way was this a "mass shooting event"? Seriously? A suicide is now a "mass shooting event"?
They are not to post anything on the internet that isn't true, I read that on the internet.
And your boyfriend is a French model, right?

They were reading about Chicago by mistake.
Guy was supposed to write"Mass lead projectile release in NJ mall, 1 dead". Which would be true. The press is so untrustworthy they can't get it right, even to make white lie headlines, just bold lies like "Recovery is here" "Jobs are robust" "President has a new plan" and such shit.
Should be called a "mall shooting", because apparently the only thing he shot until he turned the gun on himself was the mall (and what man hasn't wanted to do that?). This is simply the case of someone seeking (and getting) fame in his suicide. At least he had the decency to not take a bunch of innocent lives with him in the process. I give him credit for that, but it was still a douche move to do what he did. If you're going to off yourself, just drive out to the woods and do it.
Don't recall one getting cold feet in a while. Lots fewer cops on the streets too, just sittin back waitin for the call now.
"what we really need is fully armed checkpoints at each doorway of everyones primary residence" said mayor Bloomberg
It's government fomented hysteria. 200 cops who were asshole bullies in high school armed with assault rifles and decked out in body armor. That's pretty fucking scary!
This would've been the headline in the Bergen Record 25 years ago. "Local Man Fires Gun In Mall, Kills Self In Woolworth Stockroom"
They would close Space Port and Sam Goody for an hour to clean up the mess from the shots and life would resume as normal. Now, every fuckstick town has a tank and an assault force that they are itching to use. Police State!
That's the first thing that crossed my mind. There are too many of these events too close together. You'd think the planners would be smart enough to spread them out. They must be getting desperate and rolling them all out one after the other for effect. Very sad for all of those involved.
Why wouldn't one (or many) of the .GOVers go to a nearby mall and shoot themselves in the head? ;-)
Bernanke, Yellen, Corzine, Sebelius, Clintons, etc...
He looks like a poor lost kid. Lots of them in the Bergen County mall zone on routes 4 and 17, the place is a cultural wasteland. I grew up in Oradell. Looks like the kind of kid who couldn't fake the terrible effects of social isolation. Peace to his parents. Thank goodness the people in the mall were not targeted.
And, merry xmas, Gov. Christie. Nothing hurts retail revenue - your primary tax revenue generator while the casinos slow in winter - like a big box mall shootiong. You'll be crying on Obama's breast again come next fiscal.
Maybe he got a glance at the future of his generation. I hope someone brings this up when the politicians start their shit.
I hope they don't. The future of his generation is brighter than you think. He shot nothing but the eyes of the beast.
the Millenials are fucked.
The millenials will have a moral clean slate. Choose your own adventure. There have been riots before, you know.
So the world that Gen X was born into and has to adhere to makes them not as great as Millenials? I fail to see your point. I worked in corporate America, the Millenials are the biggest bunch of corporatist little bastards they could be, while Gen X looks for a better work life balance.
Poor Millenials. /sarcasm.
I'm neither debating nor down arrowing you. Poor anyone, whether it's the VFW vet of the WWII who is clubbed outside a bar or the land owner gunned down for kicking deputies off his fields. Poor fuckin everyone. This kid killed no one, allegedly himself excepted, thus there is redemption. My guess is, as an addict he had ins with the terrible cross-state drug trade perpetuated by the NJ law enforcement agencies. Note that it was quickly said that the chief hinself "found the body".
Another soul lost in the gears of a machine unbounded.
I didn't down arrow you either.
It seems like this kid was a druggy who realized he fucked up his life and that he couldn't fix it. He probably blamed society and planned to shoot a bunch of people then off himself. For some reason I can't find the same amount of empathy that I find with the VFW vet, or the land owner gunned down by the thieving feds.
My guess he wasn't thinking logically at all, at least how sane people think logically.
I just want to make sure if this kid is used as the representative of a generation, then his case must be seen in its totality. The dead deserve no less. I'm at the age where I look at these kids killing themselves as my own, even the dumbest wilders on the subway, and yes I have been threatened myself and could/would tear a nigga's throat out if shit went jungle, but yes I still feel the same. Is that contradictory? Not in terms of life. There is no such thing as a bad kid. The key is to face the full range of emotions with the same courage as you would face an attacker.
That said, MDMA would not be the culprit here. If there had been a mass forehead massage, or a spontaneous chill out room set up in the mall, or everyone sitting indian-style in a circle talking about their childhoods, I would first suspect ecstasy. The chief of police only mentioned ecstasy because very often it is cut with amphetamine, buyers are ignorant of this, and because it is cut with amphetamine, there might be a drug trafficking influence outside the pale of the one perpetuated by the staties themselves, regulated up and down the Turnpike by steroid pumped skinheads. Truckers do not run all night on donuts, mind you.
I always wondered why the guys from Staten Island always got the best drugs, and lots of them, when I was in music school. It's taken years for me to interpolate the reasons.
I agree with Park Ave. I feel for the kid. He has a picture of a $100 bill on his wall and he went to the mall to do this. Kind of sums up his generation. Taught to consume and pray to the almighty dollar but without a pot to piss in.
Whatever his motivations, these shootings will absolutely have a big impact. I don't take my family to the mall. Should a situation like that occur I don't want to be caught in a cattle stampede just hoping someone else provides an accidental shield for my family. It's bullish for amazon though, which is good because they need to keep making it up in volume,
Score one for Nassau and Suffolk real estate and its derivative, tax revenues, fonz. No cross state drug trade there ... except for consumption purposes. The only questionable chemicals moving up and down the LIE are North Fork wines.
And carbon monoxide.
"He has a picture of a $100 bill on his wall and he went to the mall to do this. Kind of sums up his generation"
kind of sums amerikan kulture up...
it's literally poisonous....
Keep your kids AWAY from it!
What do all of the 'terrorists' lately have in common.....anyone, anyone....
they are all young men (less than 30 sometimes way less)....all of the .gov programming is starting to pay off for them.
3....2.....1.....new call for ban on assault rifles.
If that was the agenda, wouldn't they arm him with a real AK or AR? Not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes people do stupid things all on their own.
That being said, I agree the Feinsteins of this world will still try to capitalize on the situation.
@parkave--"the future of his generation is brighter than you think"?????? well if the baseline is hovel laden communities in america, where food is scarce and serfdom returns, then perhaps it could be a bit brighter.
"Who has nothing, loses it."
His generation has a chance.... It's the 40 somethings that have to worry.... they ( hopefully ) have something to lose... and will lose it without much time to recover before retirement age.
He looks like he wants to be Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver.
He wants to be accepted. One of the miseries of heroin addiction is an Atkins-like metabolism and muscle tone. He probably took his shirt off a lot for attention. He was lost. Heroin in Bergen County. House prices were very high there once upon a time.
"He looks like he was programmed to do it.."
I did not think it was possible to program a person to kill another human being, but then I saw this documentary
Derren Brown - The Experiments: The Assassin (Full)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC9J6O6soHA
Can he actually sing?
Typical Jersey douche. What a loser.
it really looks like he was trying to commit "suicide by cop".
Witnesses do say that he only shot towards the ceiling allwhile people were right in front of him.
Yeah, I think he also wanted attention. If you want to do suicide by cop you don't shoot yourself before they get there, so it's a little strange.
Apparently, he was wearing body armor
I'm guessing if he had shot himself there he would have been OK.
A very intersting observation.
This one went down differently than the usual Right-Wing-Extremist-Government-Hating-Lone-Wolf-Mass-Shooting.
Perhaps this one wasn't influenced by any explicit form of manipulation, rather just as the story is presented? A kid on opiates. Isolated. Depressed. Wanting his moment of glory. Recoiling at the thought of forcing his sense of loss and misery upon others.
Most tend to have moments where visions of grandeur enter the mind. Modern Media romanticizes murder. He may have just been playing to the more implicit type of mind manipulation we are all exposed to.
Or maybe the molly isn't well suited to MK Ultra tactics? What the hell do I know.
He didn't shoot others. For that, I am thankful. This is not the final episode of this ongoing television drama.
"Molinell said Shoop's drug of choice was MDMA, also known as "Molly.""
"Perhaps this one wasn't influenced by any explicit form of manipulation, rather just as the story is presented? A kid on opiates. Isolated. Depressed. Wanting his moment of glory. Recoiling at the thought of forcing his sense of loss and misery upon others."
Twice in comments 'opiates' have been mentioned. MDMA is about as far away from opiates as you can get. Being hopped up on MDMA can lead to some very nasty things.
My knowledge of MDMA is non existent. I did read the same post, and assumed it was correct, so my apologies there, but the main point of my comment is still relevant, with the physical properties of MDMA notwithstanding. I had heard of 'molly' before, and assumed it was another opiate. Thanks for the correction.
so, maybe there is hope.....his morals outweighed his programming..??
99% of the time, when the press mentions a civilian in "body armor", what they mean is a load-bearing vest that might be similar to what police or military would wear, but with no kevlar or ceramic plate in it. In other words, I really doubt he was wearing body armor.
I'm reading several articles that describe the weapon as "a rifle modified to look like an AK-47". My guess is his "body armor" was probably some Dora the Explorer roller-blading elbow and knee pads spray painted black. Who has type III body armor and a fake assault rifle?
The jacket said "Life Preserver" so he put it on.
Maybe he realized at the last moment that taking some random person's life was not the right move, and he did not have it in him, and knew it was too late for him by then.
Exactly. So why is this being made into national news and called a "mass shooting event"? The guy was suicidal and killed himself. Period.
Except that "suicidal man shoots self in mall" does not fit with the anti-2nd Amendment narrative of the MSM.
You keep pointing out the truth and the Fedcoats will be knocking in your door!
But, keep it up, you are not alone! :)
This event will be used to explain the declining retail sales headlines. Not enuf hurricanes this year.
It has more to do with four 24 news channels that need real tragedy or sensationalism to boost the ratings. What a shitty line of work. The boom times are when the most people die in the most gruesome, violent ways.
Lovw the 100 Bill in the background !!!! NIIIIIIIIICE.
he was using that 100 bill for target practice. he is anti fiat currency, anti government, anti mall cop and part of a patriot group. he is part of a dangerous and growing trend that is inflicting america.
Teaneck in the mutha
Police aren't commenting on the suicide note until they come up with a better one.
funny we arent hearing about the weapon that was used. perhaps it wasnt scary enough? just a plain ol shotgun perhaps? where are all the msm pics of the evil firearm?????
.22 caliber made to look like a AK-47...a serious weapon!!! no shit. LOL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HxsF3nXrFQ
re: "Police found a suicide note at Shoop's home, but did not disclose what was written."
That's because the note is still being composed as I type.
The suicide "note" was a giant $100 FRN on the wall. They are trying to make sense of all the pyramids and such.
The eye over the pyramid scheme has the authorities totally stumped.
A true Marxist indeed.
Musta been down to his last 100, and it was a biggin.
Shooting into a ceiling then killing himself? Is this really that news worthy, I mean the bar has been set pretty high lately.
The story is not a negative story about how bad our government sucks, so yes it is "a news story."
a white, somewhat affluent suburban community has a gunman on the loose, injuring no one but himself and mall-related infrastructure. hmmmm....
is it any surprise why this is national headline news in the united states during a time when:
- the gun control debate is far from settled (both sides are still at war)
- the old media complex increasingly rely on the "iPhone/Android-equipped, on the ground eye-witness and unpaid, reddit-filtering market research intern"
- at least 1 in 4 american adults suffer from a mental illness
Please put "mental illness" in quotes when you quote the MSM.
Charles Whitman chose the University of Texas Tower and picked off quite a few before it was all over.
These modern day shooters are dumbasses.
That seems to be the theme across the board.
You can pretty much follow this formula for anything.
These modern day _________ are dumbasses.
For example. These modern day economists are dumbasses.
Try it, it's fun.
Not only is it fun, it's the fuckin truth.
They autopsied his brain and found brain cancer........
If only we would have had ACA back then...however I doubt he could have afforded it.
That crap is pretty pricey.
Well a tumor technically. He was on Dexedrine. No toxicology report.
Maybe he was a test? Maybe he wasn't, but it gave TPTB ideas. Combined with hysterical media, and poof. Renewed pushes for gun control.
Then again, maybe I'm reading too much into things. At least I'm in the right place.
He was also a Marine.
This kid probably never did any shit outside of Battlefield or COD.
Zombie apocalypse "raver version"
I imagine that someone trained to handle an AR in a crowded mall or airport could take out 50 to 100 people in minutes. I am old enough to remember the clock tower shooter at a school in Texas. I think he shot dozens. I saw a clip of the TSA agents in LAX pushing a dummy in a wheelchair. What is the reasoning behind that. Our civilian armies, TSA and HSA are becoming more and more brazen. We need everyone to wake up, turn off the TV for a month and take a realisitic look at what your country has become. TBTF banks. TBTF government. TBTF government employees unions. Kathleen Sebielious in a real world job would have been fired with cause on Oct 2nd. It is nie unto impossible to fire Federal workers. That needs to change. We need a lot of change including the change coming to the dollar as world reserve currency. Do a tiny survey at work today and ask fellow employees what the world reserve currency is and if they get that correct what the last one before the dollar was. Good luck all.
The brother only had 6 bullets.
Why don't you guys be a little charitable? Perhaps the kid began with all the intent in the world and couldn't do it because a little voice went off in his head that told him it was evil.
I no longer believe that is possible. The younger generation today lacks morality. It hasn't been taught to them because of absent parents and the drugs, illegal and prescribed, have altered their brains.
You have to ask why a kid walked into a crowded mall and didn't shoot anybody, but the answer isn't a change of heart.
Did he get any TSA agents?!?
It appears he decided to take Joe Biden's advice with his gun of choice fired into the air.
Long Scotch Tape
Keep the tape and pass the scotch.
Sounds like a lost soul. A kid struggling to see hope, let alone change. You get that with such a shit education system and a corrupt over bearing government.
I feel for his parents. He's probably a good kid. He didn't kill anyone, he had the opportunity.
More sad than anything else.
WHO CARES! IT'S NEW JERSEY!
So sad! Desperate people in desperate times!
while bankers and politicians laugh their asses off filling their bank accounts
They saved the most imprtant info for last: The Garden State Plaza Mall, about 25 miles west of New York City, features more than 300 retail stores including Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Gucci and Louis Vuitton.
"I WANT MY 15MIN OF FAME".....disgruntled American.
Shit, now the propaganda machine will kick into high gear...9/11, boston, new jersey.....
Funny.....the MORE TIME you spend on these kids THE MORE KIDS WILL WANT TO DO IT!
Who fucking cares about this jersey dirtbag??? I cant wait to see a 2 hour special on him.....wtf
Sadly we shall probably be seeing more incidents like this as we get closer to the holidays and all that optimism bubbles over as reality sets in.

Not an AR 15.
...
His rifle had been modified to look like an AK-47, but was a “lawful” rifle. It has the caliber of a .22, Molinelli said.

He was jobless and lost hope. Obama has this young person's blood on his hands! He has created the jobless, part-time economy that leaves young people without much hope for a decent life! And Emperor Obama is willing to do this to advance his marxist agenda!
The jobless "recovery" was a long time in the making. First blue collar jobs were shipped overseas, then white collar. I don't blame the douchebag in the White House. I blame the corporations pushing consumerism.
Almost perfect. "And Emperor Obama is willing to do this to advance his marxist agenda!" ->
And Emperor Obama is willing to do this to advance his fascist agenda! (ie: TPP) there fixed it for ya.
Just learned that the drug "Molly" is a derivative of meth!
It's still not doctor recommended.....unless you can score it free.
"Just learned that the drug "Molly" is a derivative of meth!"
See my comment above and please no more mention of opiates. Read the article in its entirety as well: it is stated the drug of choice was MDMA.
Believe me, you do not want to run into an asshole high on MDMA anytime.
I found that last week, but only because I've been dating a girl named Molly. What I read indicated Ecstasy, but maybe it's both.
A for what it is worth some videos of the TSA pushing a dummy around who alledgedly is supposed to be the guy that was shot and some other odd videos.

Young men and women: get out of the rat race and break free of the suffocating invisible fetters of suburbia if you want to preserve your humanity. And never trust the government or the media, all of whom created this very progressive cesspool you are swimming in.
Court in 40 days then I'm outta. Mountain West for me.
If the illegitimate government in Washington can't hold down Afghanistan, how they hell are they going to hold down Idaho?
"mass shooting event"? seriously? put down the kool-aid, kid.
Listening to the news on the radio this morning and they are still calling it a mass shooting. No agenda in this story or event. uh-huh.
Common traits of the recent violence in Boston, CT, LAX, NJ....
1) Young
2) Liberal states
3) Unemployed
4) Drugs (Big Pharma psycho disorder meds)
5) Mental issues
6) Anti Gun states
Wonder if there is a trend starting here.....
I must say...I was surprised that the scum in NJ did not loot the stores on the way out!!
oh and I almost forgot....FUCK YOU BEN!
We've always had Young (baby boomers), Liberal states (FDR/LBJ), Unemployment (1930's), Mental issues (asylums prior to lithium).
The only two new ingredients in the last couple of decades are gun control laws (which make us defenseless) and SSRIs (which turn crazy people into suicidal killing machines).
Well below average weight alleged by social engineers...
Looks like a globalist operative.
Great...there goes a perfect candidate for an ACA mule...20-something willing to pay his $600 monthly premium and carry a gigantic $15,000 deductible and never use it.

Another false flag. One day, all of this will be dragged into the light, and we will see the crimes that have been commited against the population of the US.
Let us hope that, when the time comes, there is sufficient rope.
Guillotines just need an occassional sharpening or a heavier wieght on the blade.
Oh it will... someday there will be a false flag and treason museum.
Exhibits will include the FED, 9/11, the Bush Sr. sponsored JFK assassination, and every contrived war and staged terror attack in the last 100+ years.
At least on GOOGLE NEWS, anything with gun/shooting goes straight to the top and stays for a couple of days...NPR is another that takes every opportunity to ram this $hit into the heads of the "receptive" viewers...until it becomes a no-brainer that we ban these dangerous things.
Bullish for America! I see $9 per hour mall cop jobs... finally someone (young Mr Shoope, here) makin' some jobs, where Mr Obama could not.
(More honestly, and Sadly, I think this kid was simply fucked up tweeking, not a killer off the deep end, thus no body count but his own)
"More honestly, and Sadly, I think this kid was simply fucked up tweeking, not a killer off the deep end, thus no body count but his own"
You hit the nail on the head right there moonstears. You got it.
with all the high profile targets aka reptiles concentrated in areas on NYC, DC,LA, Hollywood (why not) these poor lost souls can only target the sheep in schools,movie theaters and malls..one wonders why so many on ZH see real targets, yet these over medicated youth pick the fellow inmates..anyone reading ZH and having such plans as this young man take note, at least find a criminal reptile to shoot at.
Wearing body armor now not wearing body armor. AR15 I know it was I was in the navy eyewitness turns out to be a .22 dressed up with AK 47 plastic mass shooting turns out to be shot a few up in the air and killed himself a tweaking meth user....
The MSM will make any story huge if it isn't Obamao care failure....
as for malls who the fuck goes to malls anymore i haven't been in one for several years....
See what happens when you close Silk Road??
Our society is fucked. Government corrupt and illegitimate as never before. Churches are being complicit in supporting the status quo instead of being a beacon of light. Complacent and being complicit. Preaching to the Almighty Dollar instead of preaching that all worship of money is fundamentally wrong. No wonder this kid was lost and confused. There are millions like him. Maybe they don't have access to a firearm, maybe they do. Trained to shoot by years and years of video games and desensitized by watching dozens of horror flicks or brutal, pushing the envelope action flicks.
It's too late to do anything about it. Stay away from crowds unless being seen and watching others is your thing. The world is turning into a sewer. A complete wasteland with more people wasting space than you'd care to know. No common goals, no common perspective anymore. Just each and everyone out for their own benefit, their own 5 mins. of fame, their own quick fix. Society cannot operate this way for any long period of time.
On the one side you have a giant bureaucracy and overreaching government that's not supported by the people and on the other side you have millions of people who fake it and play along as if they were supportive but in the end they just hope to go unnoticed and comply with Big Gov so they can either benefit or at least stay below the radar. You know who lives like that? Chickens in a coop live like that. When I go in there, they act exactly like people act towards Big Gov. Occasionally a few chickens gang up on another chicken and peck it to death. There's a pecking order among the chickens but they sure as hell know who is their boss. That's me because I feed them. May sound strange to some folks but the farmers out there and everyone connected to dirt still gets it.
Stay safe.
Baby Boomers to The Millenials: the Ultimate Malinvestment.
+1000. You can indeed learn a lot about the human condition from chickens. I often use this same analogy when discussing the problems with society......
We used to be a society of independent Yeomen. Those ties to the land were key.
And we used to be a small town society. If you weren't farming or ranching you were providing some type of service, directly or indirectly, to the farmer to earn your keep.
Guns dont kill people. Bullets kill people.
Stay away from MDMA and MDA and CRACK and ...
CNN needs to stop jumping on these stories like a sailor jumps on a 'ho after being at sea for six months... I used to work with the people reporting; it's kinda sad that after many years in the news biz, they now have you chasing murder and shooting stories but then again, news is now P.T. Barnum material....
@G'Kar:
SSRI = Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor.
But yes, you are right...these days anyone should be tested for taking any SSRI's if they become violent, suicidal and/or homicidal.
If anyone hasn't read the 1963 stated goals of Communism in America which were entered into the Congressional Record, you should look them over below: They've pretty much checked off everything on the list that are the big deals...infiltrating the psychiatric profession and our school systems and using these psych drugs as chemical weapons on people's brains has been a huge benefit to this treasonous government against the American people.

Communist Goals (1963)
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
