Yes, it has. Too bad we don't have real leadership in D.C. to protect us.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

8 people in the trauma center at ORMC, 3 with life threatening injuries. Shooter is still unaccounted for. They're looking for a light skinned man in a blue polo shirt and jeans, suspected to be a disgruntled former employee.
They're doing a floor by floor evacuation of the building due to people being barricaded away hiding.

2 schools along with ORMC (Orlando Regional Medical Center) are on lockdown. They're running the swat team around in their tank through the neighborhood. There's a Sheraton Hotel across the street so they're scared he may slip by and grab hostages. So it's locked down also.

Ahhh he's a Hispanic Male, Jason Rodrigues. Cruising a 2002 Nissan SUV. They think he's armed and dangerous.

The police said they won't be releasing any info on any victims until they can notify next of kin. So they're figuring there's some fatalities.

That spokes'person' they have on Fox now giving the press interviews
is scaring me. Is that a man or woman? That voice is grating on me.

Anyone who has family working for Smith & Reynolds is being asked to go to the College Park Baptist Church (close by) where officers are there to help them through this situation.

That doesn't sound to good.

She's a woman. You get used to her. She's under a bit more stress than usual. She's a very good, no nonsense, go **** yourself if you don't like what I'm releasing type of person.

6 victims is now the latest.

I have to admit I was amused at the way she put one or two of the reporters in their place earlier. She does sound like she'd put a knot on your head if you get out of line. What I said earlier was a bit tacky, I'll take it back. I was in the kitchen and all I could hear was the voice at the time.

God be with all who are there in the building or have family there. I hope they catch the guy and accidently on purpose shoot him dead in the process.

Oh yeah. He's being described as a disgruntled former contract employee of Reynolds Smith and Hills Inc. I gather they're a big shot engineering group.

I fear as things continue to get worse with the economy - unemployment and loss of homes....things like this will continue.

Those f*ckers in Washington need to focus on getting the economy better and creating situations for more employment and stop with the damn health care bill! That health care bill won't make a damn bit of difference if everything else goes to hell in a hand basket....

Well if the penalties in the health care bill survive everyone that can afford it is going to need a huge amount of luck in keeping their rights let along their jobs. They said on the radio today  that you can get 1 year in jail and a 25 K fine for a misdemeanor offense of not having their health insurance or any kind of insurance. It its proved that you deliberatly avoided getting their healthcare its a 5 year senance and a 250K fine. So kiss your gun rights and voting rights away.

That's how the laws have been progressing over the years. Make everyone they can a felon and then they lose their rights.
