Westroads Mall Shooting in Omaha,NE (12-05-07)

[PHOTOEDITER789]

i live in fremont,ne im 23 and i thnk this is very sad !! for the lost

[mrsbieber533]

I Was In That! I Was In The Shooting BTW!!! It Was A Woman

[NebulaM78]

Fuck Obama what's he got to do with this??

[falstaffswims]

Love to hear John Lennon set to this... the surface and the deeper meaning J.L. would have intende: his message was, but wasn't SIMPLY, "please don't shoot each other." His message, I firmly believe, was: THERE IS NO GOOD REASON TO SHOOT AND KILL EACH OTHER. That little kid (I'd say bastard, but my point forbids me to so publicly degrade the rebukable little f-ck) who murdered these people only illustrated the PARADIGM ABSURDITY of our propensity to kill each other, w/ invented reasons or not.

I hate these music video layered videos, if I wanted a music video on top of my news i'd look it up on apple itunes...

[SaveAmericaVoteObama]

why are people arguing through comments on a tribute video for the dead?seriously?go argue on political videos! I went on this page to see a tribute video not a fight!

P.S Great job on the video Cyndil006!

R.I.P all of those who died

[Robinsonsgm]

R.I:P

[HattieLovesCattie]

Cops still looking for the creep right?

[Brian211978]

Wow...you're serious?

[HattieLovesCattie]

I don't live in Omaho.Even with 24 hr cable news,they won't go back and cover another old shooting story.They cover it to death then forget the story.I never saw any updates.I supposed I could google it but don't really care at the moment.

[SaveAmericaVoteObama]

he sorta...shot himself

[patriots54678]

My friend's Mom got killed in it, too :(

[patriots54678]

U no what, im sorry, but that little pussy pisses me off, he just had to do it during a weekday afternoon when there were barely any grown men there and there were only women and small children who couldn't defend themselves for the most part. Plus I usually go to Oakview because it's closer but i think that today marks the first time that I've been to Westroads since that little punk shot the place up (I'm not sure, though).

[texaswifes101]

today is the exact anversity of the

shottign so sad I live here I was was born here and raised so dont mess with nebraska

[tugurly]

ok you dont understand my friend know the mcdonlds all thier life and that stupid guy killed the father

[katieisarainbow]

It's really sad to think that happened.

And I live ten minutes away from that mall :(

[yankeefan2k7]

i was in that store about 45 mins before it happened

[osamabindrinkin40s]

Are they closing this mall down or what?

[cornhole98]

No the store that was shot up in was cleaned up very quickly then reopened like nothing happened.

[osamabindrinkin40s]

They still got the ceremony and all. Like a plaque what happen that day and all the people who died.

[Maniac50AE]

this is such bullshit. not the video but the post. ppl die all the time on the north side. now just imgagine if we walked around all day scared. one asshole should not scare thousands of ppl to not go to the mall. it could happen again but it can happen anywhere anytime.

[andrea4286]

I've been going to Von Maur for as long as I can remember. It is such a nice store and this was so tragic. My mom almost went there that exact day and time.

[sivartn]

I am sure all of the families apriciate such gestures. I have been to this mall several times. I had never once seen a security guard other then around the security counter, however i just went there over the weekend (march6th 2008) and saw so many security guards. After the shooting my girlfriend didnt want to go with me to the mall and i dont blame her one bit. My hat goes off to the brave men and women who risked their lives to save the ones who got out, and to those who did not make it out

[SaveAmericaVoteObama]

agreed

[Hummermaniac1]

u dipshit if u don't like this video the u shouldnt see it and u shouldnt say this if there was one of ur family members out there and dead so fuck off and go suck a damn cock and let these people rest in peace!!!

[AdioZeroTensorSK8]

waz up with the gay song?1

[rizzogirl21]

great video.

this is the worst thing to ever happen to us in omaha.

i was only 20 miles away at school during this time...

imagine if it was a weekend...all the kids hanging out at the mall....

[puffedhell]

What about the All the deaths from gun violence just since July 1st of this year in Omaha?

What about the Franklin Scandal?

Or even J. Jubert?

Does the tornado of 1976 ring a bell ???

Gosh.. People have short memories.

[rizzogirl21]

did that happen at a mall.

did it all happen from one single person?

[HattieLovesCattie]

I don't live near the midwest but 1976 is a long time ago.Folks that do remember are mostly dead now or don't care anymore.The young folks today probably never heard of things back in the day.

[cardiacardia1234]

what about when we drug that black guy down the street and hung him from a buildin

[puffedhell]

exactly...

[fremontkid]

Ya i live in fremont close to ohmaha in this i dont think nebraska will be the same bc of it

[atbb1717]

amazing video....my sister and my grandmother were in there that day. thank god they came out. thanks for the video.

[SaveAmericaVoteObama]

You know what Nebraska is a great state and theres barely any gangs,let people rest in peace,please?BTW I live in NE and I voted for Obama

[AlexJonesRules]

George Bush was in Omaha an hour before the shooting. This was a government black-ops and Hawkins was probably a mind-controlled Manchurian candidate. The Government wants to take away our guns so they can declare martial law and throw dissenters in FEMA Concentration camps.

[NewAirsoft]

This Was A Great Tribute.

I knew 1 Victim and the Shooter and His Family.

There were cops all in my neaghborhood* and newscasters it was a big mess.

I want people to know 3 things

1. He had help But his was mentally unstable

and was getting better.

2.Don't blame video games Manson and other things for this tradity* thats not what happend

3. Please Don't Bash the shooter or the family.

[Izzyannsmom]

This was perfect. Well thought out and probably very time consuming. Great song and the ribbon with the state at the end was awesome. Thanks for caring and God Bless your young soul.

From one Omaha victim to another

[cyndil006]

yup i live in omaha too, used to work at westroads,to alot of people it may be just a number or something but when uve been there or seen some of the faces before its a different story

[NeMpls19]

@cyndil006 You make a valid point! I'm from Minnesota, and almost everyone I talk to about this shooting has no idea what I'm talking about, they've already forgotten, or just never heard about it. As sad as this may be, I have to admit I would be apart of that group but since I visited that mall two or three years before the shooting my whole perspective/attitude about this shooting has been much different then similar shootings.
