Mass shooting survivor
Posted on 8/8/19 at 11:37 am

I've been lurking for a long time but finally decided to join.
I live in California. I grew up in Texas and went to A&M. My daughter went to Bama and my son went to A&M.
I was in a mass shooting in 1988. I'm also very, very pro-2nd amendment and think most proposals won't do anything to help prevent mass shootings.
Here's a link to the the Wiki page of the shooter and it describes what happened.
LINK
I was lucky that I was not in my office when Farley came in. I had a meeting in an office on the opposite side of the building as the shooting. One of my co-workers yelled at us to get out of the building as there was a man with a gun shooting people.
I was looking at classified papers at the time, so I was worried about leaving that, but I di (and it was the right thing to do. No security violation)
The shooter at my company had a top secret clearance (so a huge background check), he had a dad (so no broken home), and he wasn't on drugs or mentally ill.
The day it happened most people knew who it was. He had been fired and was stalking a coworker. It was no surprise to people that knew either of them.
If you have any questions, ask away.

1. Do you think being a mass shooting survivor grants you expertise in deciding policy going forward?
2. When is the right time to discuss changes in policy after a mass shooting has occurred?

What are your feelings about politicians/public figures who take these unimaginable tragedies and politicize them for their own political gain?

How do you feel about the fbi field office being notified about the crazy Parkland shooter and not following up on the tip?

In your honest opinion, do you think Red Flag laws could have saved lives?
What do you think about posters who would stay at home on election day just because Trump might support Red Flag laws?

j/k
Thanks for sharing the story. Sounds like that Tuesday in 1988 was an unforgettably horrible day. Sadly, Laura Black will almost certainly be left to constantly struggle with it.

Glad you survived unharmed, BamaAggiemom.
Dude was a nutjob. Glad he didn’t use a fertilizer bomb on y’all.

I'd say he was very mentally ill.

In libtard land and in the DNC/MSM Political Complex it does, but only if the survivor is a 2nd Amendment hater!

I think that my opinion on the matter is as valid as the Parkland School survivors. None of us are experts.
I liked how my company handled the situation. We were a defence contractor with lots of expertise in security. They set up a task force of experts and investigated the situation. After that, they successfully lobbied for stalking laws.
Each mass shooting is different, so it does take time to investigate and learn from them.

As someone who lived through it, do you feel offices should be required to either: require armed security or allow concealed carry or neither one?

He started stalking in 84 and Black filed the restraining order in 88. Four years of problems for her that went unaddressed, wow!
None of this was documented or reported before 88?
Regardless of clearance, Farley is a nut and although he's on Death Row, I doubt the State of California will kill him.
Do you think California will complete Farley's sentence and put him to death?

For once, I agree.
As for your other question for the OP:
The OP was working with classified information at the time, but since this was 1988, it was likely not on hard drive or something that could be easily put away. OP left this information out in order to escape. Luckily, the company took into consideration the situation and didn't fire the OP, or worse, put the OP in jail.
I know this concept of protecting classified information is foreign to ProgFilth.

I agree with that statement. He was not diagnosed with a mental illness. However he was found guilty and the insanity plea did not work.
He also was not on medication for mental illness.
My boyfriend broke up with me right after the shooting, and Laura Black's group socially adopted me afterward. We'd go out to happy hours and they'd tell about how Farley in the past would be in the parking lot waiting for them. It was creepy the stories they told about him.
