A little over 8 miles from each other, 16 miles from the site of the Aurora movie theater massacre.

Point A is Columbine High School and Point B is Arapahoe High School.
Point A is Arapahoe High School and Point B is Cinemark Theater in Aurora, Colorado.

Three major shooting in this country and there is NOTHING they have in common, right? I mean are you joking.
Aurora, Centennial and Columbine are all within the I70 and 470 loop.

There was another astounding murder in Colorado in Pueblo County.

Colorado authorities suspect two white supremacists (click here) may have been involved in the fatal shooting of a state prison chief that answered the door to his house, only to be greeted with gunfire.
The alleged white supremacists, 47-year-old James Franklin Lohr and 31-year-old Thomas James Guolee, are believed to be part of a prison gang called the 211 Crew, according to a Reuters report based on statements made by Lieutenant Jeff Kramer, a spokesman for Colorado’s El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
The murder victim, prison chief Tom Clements, was shot dead when he answered the door to his home located 45 miles from Denver on March 19. Judicial officials on Monday announced that Evan Spencer Ebel, a former convict and alleged member of the 211 Crew, was the main suspect involved in the shooting.
Due to a clerical mistake, Evans had been mistakenly released from prison in January, even though he had only served part of his sentence.
“It sounds like a horrific oversight,” Pueblo County Commissioned Buffie McFadyen told AP, referring to the mistake that led to the man’s early release. “It’s tragic clerical error.”
After killing Clements, shooting a pizza delivery driver on March 17, and engaging in a roadside gun battle with Texas policemen on March 21, Ebel himself was found dead. His weapon, a 9 mm Smith & Wesson, was linked to the fatal shooting of Clements just two days earlier....

The prediction (click here) that Ishmael Shelton had a 2-in-3 chance of committing another crime when he left prison on parole was deadly accurate. Eight months later, he stabbed his girlfriend to death.
Parolee Douglas Taylor didn't get picked up for violating his parole or on an assault charge. Still on the streets, he torched an Aurora apartment building in a jealous rage, killing a man.
Longtime criminal Terry Leslie skipped out on his parole officer five months before he murdered a Lakewood attorney who was found in his basement bound by duct tape.
All three are among 33 inmates who walked out of Colorado prisons and were convicted or charged with murders while on parole since 2002 — in some cases within a matter of weeks.
Between them, they took or are accused of taking 38 lives, including that of a pregnant woman a month away from her due date whose unborn daughter also died....

Despite all the gun violence in Colorado the Right Wing Gun Zealots continue to escalate danger of so many guns in their state.




DENVER (click here) — When Colorado passed a series of tough gun restrictions last winter, Democrats and gun control advocates hailed it as a sign of changing attitudes in a Western swing state. But moments after a pivotal vote in the state Senate, a Republican lawmaker named Greg Brophy warned that Colorado’s independent-leaning voters would rebel against the new laws....

The loose gun laws are ONLY empowering the criminal.

The deadly shooting of a would-be intruder (click here) in southeast Denver last week was the first documented case in more than a year in which a city dweller defended himself with a gun during a home invasion.
Most people who buy guns say they do so to protect themselves and their families at home. But experts say, and Denver police data show, that such situations are extremely rare.
An intruder used a gun in 44 home-invasion robberies reported last year to Denver police. Police reported no cases in which the resident used a gun in self-defense.
There have been at least 10 home invasions involving guns so far this year, including the July 7 case in the 3200 block of South Glencoe Street, where a homeowner fatally shot Charles McLaughlin, 29, who police said tried to force his way into the house. He was unsuccessful, but a struggle continued onto the porch, where the gunman, whom police have not identified, shot him to death....

...Kellermann's 1994 study of 198 cases in Atlanta showed, among other findings, that victims used a firearm in self-protection 1.5 percent of the time — or in just three cases. Just one victim opened fire on the assailant but missed. All three escaped injury....


Guns in the conscience of an American in the year 2013 is about self-defense. The reality is that few gun owners actually fell comfortable with them. A gun can be used against it's owner as well. The free flow of guns in the USA endangers the public in general, provides the wrong sense of masculinity to young men and provides military threats to our southern border with Mexican Drug Cartels. What are we actually doing? We are living in fear when we are creating it ourselves.

When I owned a gun over 28 years ago for self-protection it caused more problems and presented more danger than it solved and it was never worth the trouble or the money I paid for it. I will never own one again. There was no rational reason for me to own a weapon. None. I purchased it out of fear because I was told I should be afraid. There was no significant murder rates, rape or any crime in my life or neighborhood that one would use a gun for self-protection. Purchasing one was the most ridiculous thing I ever did with money.
