Predictably, gun control advocates wasted no time whatsoever in politicizing the shooting at a Portland, Ore., mall<\/a> today. In an unusual wrinkle, conflicting reports that the shooter wore a mask of some sort have some concerned about a push for mask control.<\/p>\n

Details of the mall shooting are still forthcoming, but many on Twitter reported that the shooter was wearing a white mask. Some called it a hockey mask, while others cited an emergency dispatcher referring to a Guy Fawkes mask — the mask made famous by the movie “V for Vendetta” and now associated with Anonymous. Concern for the shooting victims was put on hold in favor of speculation over a mask crackdown.<\/p>\n\n\n

Whoa, the shooter at that Oregon mall is wearing a Guy Fawkes mask? Can anyone confirm that???<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

FUCK. I knew this would happen eventually, some dude would go apeshit wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. >.<<\/p>\n

Great, the shooter in Oregon was wearing the Guy Fawkes mask from V for Vandetta…Crackdown on Anonymous & those masks coming up…<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

To be clear: just the suggestion that it was an #Anonymous<\/a> mask in #Oregon<\/a> shooting is pretext to crack-down on others who wear it.<\/p>\n

Watch: if that idiot KKK guy who shot up a mall in OR was wearing a Guy Fawkes mask how long til Fox blames “the Left” for the shooting?<\/p>\n

\n

A Guy Fawkes mask, huh? That can mean only one thing — the shooter must have been a Tea Party member. Right, Brian Ross<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n

Strange, the MSM isn’t speculating that the Mall shooter was an anonymous member, even though they were reportedly wearing a Guy Fawkes mask<\/p>\n

Again, police have not confirmed any details of the shooting. According to witnesses, the shooter might have been wearing all black clothing, camouflage, body armor, a hockey mask, a Guy Fawkes mask and a Friday the 13th mask and been carrying a rifle and a machine gun.<\/p>\n\n\n

#ClackamasShooting<\/a> guy was in a Friday the 13th mask NOT a Guy Fawkes. This is random act of senseless violence. Not an #Anonymous<\/a> act.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

Reporter on @andersoncooper<\/a> just said that he heard the shooter was wearing a “Jason” mask, like in the Friday the 13th movie….<\/p>\n

— Yetta Gibson (@yettagibson) December 12, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\n

So a gunman wearing a Jason mask walked into Clackamas Town Center today and shot and killed 2 people. Appare… tmblr.co\/ZppPGyZANvN2<\/a><\/p>\n

Emotional #Clackamas<\/a> witness said she saw the suspect with a “huge M-16″ coming in the mall and he brushed the shoulder of her boyfriend.<\/p>\n

Will the media rush to judgment and investigate the possible Anonymous connection? It’s been hours; can we consider it progress that the Tea Party hasn’t been fingered yet?<\/p>
