  1. Like others have said, I imagine taking a cold bore shot at a human (presumably for the first time) adds a decent amount of difficulty and would suggest some level of training...or sociopathy.
  2. I would urge everyone to not take anything at face value for the next 48 hours. We've been down this road before. Many, many times. How often is the first reported narrative the correct one?
  3. Yeah, it's not a good look. But damn do I sure wish your half of the country would get this upset about school shootings.
  4. So I imagine it's going to be awhile before anyone is allowed to ask the President why he's lying about his obvious knowledge of a sex workers ring, or why ICE keeps detaining US citizens, or why he's mandating state-sponsored higher education, or why the National Guard only seems to appear in cities that hate him. Out of respect, of course.
  5. Anastasis complaining about someone else making a thread about them is just too much. Today sucks.
  6. Yes, I'm sure when he said "he wants to hear what the killer has to say" he meant he's looking forward to his 60 Minutes' interview and wasn't referring to wanting to understand his motive. But, in that vein, I suppose I used literally haphazardly (okay, incorrectly).
  7. That's literally what we're saying, man. Whatever point you thought you were making, it wasn't a good one. It happens. You're the one claiming to already know why he was killed, not us.
  8. I don't care what his actual words are. But, yes, it obviously matters what his motives were. Somehow I doubt it was because he just had to stop "equal opportunity public square" debates. Don't be obtuse.
  9. Da fuq? Wanting to hear from the killer before unilaterally and definitively declaring "He was killed because he engaged people in the public square, put his shit out there and gave others equal opportunity to put their shit out there. Our political climate doesn't like that sort of thing." is a controversial statement?
  10. Man, I bet this shooter sure feels stupid. He doesn't even get a blurb today, let alone a full news cycle.
  11. God damn, can some of y'all just give immamac a break for the night?
  12. It's best to accept now that pretty much nothing that you hear in the next 48 hours is going to be accurate or true. From anyone.
  13. I mean, I assume halfway through he knew he was fucked, but it was too late to abort. But there was no way that was going to fly in today's media.
  14. I'll tell you what: can we just try it for a year? Full background checks, red flag laws, safety and awareness classes, gun safe laws, licensed concealed carry only, the works. If there's not a dramatic fall in shooting deaths--if the kid from Uvalde and other social butterflies are able to Google their local black market gun dealer easily enough--we'll admit to being wrong and never infringe again.
  15. I grew up in a military family, I went to Texas A&M, I live in San Diego working with the military. Most of my family is pretty well off boomers. And most of my friends partake in shooting and off-roading. I only cut the ones off who can't keep politics out of in person social settings.
  16. Man, my MAGA friends are really running with the MLK comparisons. Fun.
  17. How much we all fucking hate each other?
  18. It's really cool being in suspense whether the FBI Director knows what the fuck he's talking about or not.
  19. Difficulty when you factor in the type of nut job usually associated with "statement" shootings has to bring it up to at least a 7.
  20. It's like November 6th all over again.
  21. Sure, with that attitude.
  22. Give it a rest, dude. I obviously know who he is and the publicity he gets for saying crazy shit. I assumed he was further down the pecking order of influencers. Didn't mean it to be an insult.
  23. Yeah, sorry, poor world choice on my part. He's obviously well known in that sphere. I just meant a clear rung below the Rogans, Shapiros, Tuckers, Candices, and Kellys of the world.* *if I'm wrong about that too, apologies. Right wing influencer view count is not my strong suit
