Creighton Hospital Shooting
« on: April 07, 2011, 08:48:02 AM »
There was another shooting in Omaha, but this time it was in a gun free zone...

http://journalstar.com/ap/state/article_e8d258dd-5b9f-547e-b0f1-f74d7bcaa9e5.html

I am amazed that the magic "No gun" signs at the entrance did not stop the criminal.

I don't think you could pay me enough to live in Omaha.  A couple of years ago a lady from right next to my home town (and a member of my parent's church) was standing outside Methodist Hospital when she was shot as some thug tried to steal her purse.  She survived, luckily, and they never caught the scumbag that did it.

I guess if you're going to be shot, right outside a hospital is the place for it to happen.

Omaha has turned into a wretched hive of scum and villany.  This sure is not the place I grew up in.

This is the second shooting in that hospital this year, and its only April.  Makes me want to go to UNMC from now on.

Would I be considered "scum" or a "villain"?  ehehe....

I was talking to some folks in O today, sounds like there was a shooting of some sort every day this week  :-[

The VFW boys said they sort of get a kick out of folks from certain parts of Omaha when they fire off their 21 rounds.  They've seen folks actually dive for cover!
Of course, I was there to give them gruff for walking around in Omaha open carrying a firearm without a specified permit.  ;D

I wonder if UNMC is any better?  My son worked night security at UNMC while his wife was in medical school a few years ago.  He tells a story about the time he and his partner watched while a carload of gang bangers rolled up to the ER entrance.  One of their buddies had gunshot wounds, and they just shoved him out on the pavement and drove away.   :o

Nope Omahaharj.  I live in Omaha too.  However it seems quite violent as of late.  Hell until Joubert we never locked the doors when I was a kid.

A fella who works at a local hospital here in Lincoln believes CCW in a hospital is silly, because the police can be there with in 5 minutes.  And facts and argument from his 2A supporting son just could not sway him.  Yes, the police can be there in good time, but the may not get there IN TIME!

I know them.  My little brother graduated with Jeremy.

I go back for deer season every year too.  That's some great deer country.

Homeboy ambulance is what we always call it.... Its a lot more common than you think.  Hospitals ask questions, ya know?  And those pesky paramedics always stickin you with needles and such.

Evidently the best place to "Cap yo ass" is in a hospital that is a CCW free zone.

Imagine someone with the debauchery and nerve, not to mention STUPIDITY, to go into a hospital and shoot someone, would not hesitate to go into a police station, courthouse, or county office to do it either.

Welcome to Omaha, now just another big city crap hole, because the judicial system just keeps letting them back out.

Yeah talk about judicial system letting them out: LB 251 was amended to add Senator Council's bill that would have given juveniles a chance at freedom after 20years if they had been sentenced to life without parole. Thank God it didn't pass. The vote was 18-24

It's sad that some Senators that we consider pro gun voted in favor of this disgrace. Those voting for LB 251 were: Ashford Conrad Haar, K. Louden Smith Avery Cook Krist Mello Wallman Campbell Council Lathrop Nordquist Coash Dubas Lautenbaugh Price
Shame on the Republicans that voted for this! What happened to the party that is tough on crime?!!
