3rd leg of my move from Houston to the Bay Area, and I made it to LA.   I’m just now catching up on the news in my hotel.  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—I don’t have kids, but this e

If everyone in the crowd was armed, and had body armor they could have fired back and shot the suspect, there the best solution to the problem. Please deposit 100k consulting fee for this effort.

 

guys this is just a false flag attack to take away your guns, probably a topic on aggy site

how the hell is the gunman still on the loose? 

Maybe there are a lot of people walking around with their guns openly displayed, expressing their 2nd Amendment rights, so the shooter could just disappear into the crowd.

If they knew who it was they would tell the public. What would be the purpose of keeping it a secret?

Sometimes better to let him think they don't know.  They could have also told people who might have close contact. They may also not know jack.  Lotta possibilities.

He's probably halfway to Costa Rica with bad botox and his brother's passport

Well the good news is if he is taking American out of O'Hare there's a good chance his flight is either massively delayed or cancelled.

Well, there's probable cause level "know" where they've got everything they need for a search warrant and arrest, and there's reasonable suspicion level "know" where it's more likely than not but not quite enough to screem it from the rooftops yet.

It's all conjecture of course, It just struck me that they're only throwing out a two year age frame.

Lady on CNN just said the recovered weapon is a high-powered rifle.

Is there a low-powered rifle?  One that just kinda lobs the bullets at the target?

To be fair, those were the exact words that the police spokes person used multiple times. That said, I agree it sounds silly.

218 pages and we have come full circle. The first page on this thread with a workplace shooting in Illinois and now a shooting at a parade on the Fourth of July. America's birthday.

I've been thinking about birthdays a lot lately. We celebrated a family birthday recently. The usual affair--some gifts, a special meal followed by cake and ice cream, and an off-key rendition of the birthday song because we're not choristers but we're enthusiastic and corny when it comes to milestones.

And birthdays are a milestone; at least for many of us they are. Birth and death sandwich all the milestones any one cares to commemorate in between, but those two acts are the lighting of the candle and blowing it out forever.

So how odd that yesterday I'm reading about a pregnant abused ten year old in Ohio traveling to Indiana to receive an abortion since her home state forbids it. But in two days, the Indiana Legislature is set to revisit their laws on abortion with an eye to banning or restricting it completely. Indiana, the state where residents from nearby states that have more restrictive gun laws--states such as Illinois, travel to buy guns.

Does it strike anyone else as incredibly and intolerably sad that a ten year old may have that reproductive care option removed while an older male, such as her abuser, could travel to the same state (actually in Ohio, there is no need to travel), purchase a gun, and then should he choose, visit cruelty and suffering upon even more people?

Ten years old is not pleasant for every child in this country, but it should be dammit. As adults, we talk a lot about 'deserve' or 'deserving.' Who deserves this or that and who doesn't or how nobody promised anyone a rose garden and all the meaningless phrases that we use because we cannot bring ourselves to create a country where ten years old is that age where every child has a special meal and cake if they want it, and the people who love them sing a hokey song, and all the laughter that only ten year olds can laugh. That laugh that starts out with a giggle and crescendos into a fall-down-on-the-floor, holding the stomach, thank god I am ten years old in this moment laugh.

Ten year olds deserve to celebrate being ten--not by giving birth or dying at the hands of a person with a gun.

Member when there used to be threads started in DT when there was a mass shooting?  I member.  Guess it's easier for them to pretend it's not happening.

I definitely don't miss having to scroll past all the posts fetishizing about the gun specs, saying shit like "Luckily he was too dumb to modify with a Gx3 amulet, that would have taken out the whole parade in half the time. I only use mine for raccoons...for now LOL"

Somebody earlier was mentioning the large Jewish population of the Highland Park community and yea that guy looks like he may be Jewish.  None of that really matters but this is likely to be another in a long line of young males disaffected by whatever using the ridiculous ease of procuring a weapon to designed to kill mass amounts of people doing exactly that to take it out on his community.
