1. A highly trained US Marshal fired and missed

And an English teacher in a school is expected to hit her target and prevent a school massacre?

2. I know and the gunman was in the crowded security area. Thank God, he suicided.

He fired in the air with the AR 15 type weapon and could have sprayed the crowd with gunfire.

3. Terminal B is still on lockdown. My folks are in Terminal A waiting for a car to

Pick them up and had no idea anything was going on.

4. Oy.

It sounds like hopefully no one else was hurt, so that's good.

Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck & Hannity are all speeding toward Houston — with guns: NRA Convention to be Fox News heaven




The 142nd National Rifle Association Annual Meeting is roaring into Houston for four days of seminars, rallies, prayer breakfasts and country music jam sessions, starting Thursday.

The speaker lineup would make any Fox News junkie's heart skip a beat with appearances by conservative politicos and pundits ranging from to Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum to Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Hell, even Oliver North of Iran-Contra fame will be on hand to sign copies of his new novel.

by wasting a lot of peoples' time. The NRA should be pleased about that.

16. Glenn Beck: Houston airport shooting a ‘set up’ of NRA like ‘burning of the Reichstag’

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck responded to a shooting at Houston’s largest airport on Thursday by suggesting that it had been a plot to “set up” gun owners like the the burning of German’s parliament — or Reichstag — in 1933, which Nazis exploited as a pretext to suspend constitutional rights.

According to CBS News, a man named Carnell Moore fired a pistol into the ceiling of Terminal B at Bush International Airport and was shot by a federal agent. At the same time, Carnell also shot himself. A fully-loaded, black Smith & Wesson AR-15 was found in a suitcase next to where he was sitting.

Messages on social media indicated that Carnell had planned a mass shooting, but a suicide note found on the body suggested that he changed his mind.


But because the shooting happened as members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) were arriving in Houston for its annual convention, Beck saw a conspiracy behind Carnell’s actions.
