(SALEM, Ore. ) - A Salem man is lucky to be alive today, after he accidentally shot himself while cleaning a handgun.

Salem police say 26-year-old Arturo Camarillo was cleaning his .22-caliber revolver at his home on 25th St NE when the gun fired, hitting him in the chest.

Camarillo was rushed to Salem Hospital, and is in fair condition.

No charges will be filed in this case.

According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, teenagers and children are involved in more than 10,000 accidental shootings in which close to 800 people die each year.

Over the period from 1993 to 2002, the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics found that 175 workers were killed on the job as a result of an accidental gunshot wound -- an average of about 18 fatalities per year during that 10-year span.

Luke- was that the BS he said about WWII Americans "killing unarmed SS guards?" Man, that is to share. If he had just been a man and apologized, I wouldn't make as big of a deal out of it as I do. And every time I write about somebody like that, it always seems to come up fairly quickly on Google forever after that. The world is changing friend and I think the O'Reilly's are going to soon be nothing but a nagging memory, let's hope so. Tim

Tim, I used your OReilly story today on some OReilly worshipers. They simply stared at me. HAHAHA... I hope that wasn't off the record.

and just this morning I called him Mr.! Roll me once, shame on you!, roll me twice, shame on me!, and now we found out he's full of it from A-effing Z! I'm near devestation @ my own gullability!, strike me down eh!? I mean "to be or not to be" isn't a question really but a statement..,as there isn't any other way but to.., be, so to speak. Now who will I argue with? Tim, et al: you need security?, I have an excellent deal on a pallet load of mobile Chinese stick grenades in the deep freeze known as " Pekingese barkiing bastard's", on the Afghan border near the plain of Kunlun Shan. Let me know. Why does it seem so calm all of a sudden? Henry, you out there? I think all of you showed exemplary patience and tolerance and occupational integrity in not making this public even sooner since you had the goods on..,him?., for weeks, and told all of us how you could trace any incoming comment in the exchanges . So congrats on cracking a mysteriously curious nut as it were, over and out.

Well, for all the people who have been frustrated by a comment poster named Rosenberg, your lucky day has arrived. I have tried to be understanding of the guy's jaded position in life and I have personally taken the time to commend some of his viewpoints. Embarrassingly, I have very recently been telling people that he can even on rare occasions make sense, like when he criticizes the presidential administration.

But today he tried to post a personal insult toward us and that means no more Rosenberg for all of you decent people out there. At the bottom of this post you will see all of the pseudo names ol' rosey has been using.

This is not a political move for the record. I have let this guy antagonize people for a long time and he does claim to be an ultra right conservative. That is fine with me; everyone is fine with me, but today he delivered a personal insult and it was the straw that in this case, dropped the camel to the ground.

A few days ago I mentioned an increased editing presence in the comment section. They are all approved by a living, breathing person as it is, but we fear we have been too lenient.

I hope that for some of our regular visitors, this announcement will be regarded as great news. It will be a pleasure to not see his name or his ramblings anymore. Ding dong, the witch is dead.

There is nothing wrong with any individual's politics when the overall goal is good for all people. Antagonistic attacks get really old though, and one major point about Rosenberg is that is that he attacks anything or anybody with an agenda rooted in peace and understanding.

One interesting irony is that he obviously has a thing for names that sound like they are Native American; "Running Bear" and "Jason Two-Dogs". Then he uses "Armstrong" which is the middle name of General Custer. And he rages against people who are immigrants. Well, I have spent a lot of time around Native Americans and most do not seem too driven to see the white man keep this land for himself. In fact, many see the Hispanic as a brother, they share much of the same heritage in many cases.

I think you call that the epitome of hypocrisy.

Life is short, burial cloaks have no pockets. It is time for all of us to be decent and tolerant and understanding.

This guy has been anything but nice or kind. I have watched him play psychological warfare with our other comment posters for too long. Maybe you didn't think this day would come rosenberg, but it is here. I'm sorry you chose to get personal with us, in my opinion we have been very tolerant.

You see, our team at Salem-News.com has the easy ability to ban somebody like this from the site. We also can easily see all of his comments, at least the ones from his IP, with the click of a button. So here are all the aliases of our antagonistic former problem who never even had the courage to tell us his real name:

  • Running Bear
  • Oracle
  • Armstrong
  • Mathew (5-22-07)
  • SHIRLEY KITZHABER - My, Rosenberg, something you didn't tell us?
  • Krakatoa (5-22-07)
  • Hannigan II
  • Open the Border (5-19-07)
  • Hey Zus (5-1-07)
  • Mike Hammer (4-30-07)
  • RC
  • Ben Casey (4-26-07)
  • K Rove (4-23-07)
  • Vincent (4-24-07)
  • Coulter (4-23-07)
  • Oregon Vote (4-22-07)
  • Bush (4-22-07)
  • Marx (4-21-07)
  • Retired Contractors (4-19-07)
  • Sooth (4-19-07)
  • Dr. Kildare (4-18-07)
  • Raise Tuition (4-18-07)
  • Fred (4-16-07)
  • Fred Engels (4-16-07)
  • Butch Cassidy
  • Susan (4-16-07)
  • Murphy (4-16-07)
  • Needles (4-16-07)
  • Sharpton (4-16-07)
  • O'Reilly (4-16-07)
Miles, Jameson, Harvey, LeMay, Sanchez, Harrison, Walden, Simpson, Jason Two-Dogs, Sid Morrison, EJ Morgan, Jim B Davidson, Neal Goldsmith, and there are more.

Did he argue with himself? You bet. Did he set people up and bait them? You bet he did. He acted like a man and woman talking in the same post. Maybe one of those names is the real thing, maybe not. I think the guy needs help. If any of you have seen "Meet the Parents" and you know the character De Niro plays, a crazy military zealot who is nothing but a cruel nut job with too much money and too little to do, then you are getting my idea of who this man is/was.

I went to Afghanistan over last winter and I spent a lot of time recording soldiers in a war and I did not take it as an opportunity to do anything but tell it like it is. As it turned out, I witnessed incredible things that our people were doing and accomplishing. I didn't use it as an opportunity to launch an agenda, except maybe support of people who pay the highest price in all of society; the combat soldier. I am sad and dismayed that this person of many assumed names and personalities, has caused so much grief around our other visitors. Those days are over.

Tim King

One final note to all of the veterans who have watched all of this go on over the last few months; I would take arguments from any people who share this list of names and go back to the drawing board. He might have had me going a time or two, but burn me once shame on you, burn me twice... shame on me. I think he's full of it from A to Z.

Can I get this guys phone number? I need someone to go bird hunting with.


Bill May 22, 2007 2:00 pm (Pacific time)

How drunk was he at the time??


Grimace May 22, 2007 1:44 pm (Pacific time)

It still amazes me that people who own firearms fail to follow the simplest task of unloading their gun before cleaning it. If they are that stupid (especially in this case it was a revolver, not a clip) then they shouldn't own one in the first place.


rayme lacey May 22, 2007 1:41 pm (Pacific time)

don't you unload and take apart a gun to clean it?and why was he cleaning it at 4 in the morning?


ben May 22, 2007 10:54 am (Pacific time)

Thats strange I live on 25th st n.e and i heard nothing of this.This guy could of really hurt someone in the neighborhood I hope he learned his lesson.
