Is Sheriff Hanlin a coward? He supported no gun control and now it's come to his doorstep. What kind of KARMA is this?
In the letter, sent soon after the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which 26 people (mostly children under the age of 10) were gunned down, Hanlin expressed a refusal to enforce antigun laws that he said were “unconstitutional.”
“Gun control is NOT the answer to preventing heinous crimes like school shootings,” he said.
Hanlin said in a press conference on Thursday that he would not name the shooter who opened fire at the UCC. “I will not give him credit for this horrific act of cowardice,” he said.
At one point I was concerned that Hanlin was hiding too much about this shooter. Could have been the fact that this gun control letter was gonna haunt him and come out in the media. Below are my suspicion tweets.
Mass shooters rarely exchange fire with COPS! This guy was mean. I think he was black. They refused to even tell his RACE. #UCCShooting— $ N I T C H L A D Y (@Snitchlady) October 1, 2015
Never assume every 20yo male mass shooter is WHITE. I heard that school had a lot of BLACK students. Was he a white hater? #UCCShooting— $ N I T C H L A D Y (@Snitchlady) October 1, 2015
Something ain't right about Umpqua. All eyewitnesses talking to CNN won't describe shooter? Took 2 hrs to know he was male #UCCShooting— $ N I T C H L A D Y (@Snitchlady) October 1, 2015
