1. I believe the shooter was in his early 50's. That is elderly now?

Gezzus, what happened to 50 being the new 30? Yes, stretch those social security ages out for THE ELDERLY! OMG!!!

5. Mrs Mulelthov is not amused to hear this

Hell , I thought it was funny

6. It's all in your perspective. Many in their early 50's are grandparents

and would be considered elderly by someone in their twenties.

I'm in my 70's so consider early 50's barely out of the teens.

As far as 50 being the new 30-----hysterical. Gotta take those blinders off,folks.

10. Any consideration by a 20-something is suspect

I mean REALLY????? Who gives a fuck about some kid who can't git a full-time job with benefits and move into a place without 2 other non-related room-mates????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

7. You're elderly when you start getting flyers to join AARP. (n/t)

13. weapon "described" as an AK-47, a military style assault rifle

Airsoft replica and firecrackers.

The knee jerk media is so quick to print any knee jerk reaction. Reporters should wear little "I'm w/stupid buttons".

from Moscow Idaho?

This is a dupe. Original thread here:

11. See this is what guns do. They make a nutty old man a very dangerous person where

he would have been just a nutty old man otherwise.
