The story I am hearing now from a lot of directions is the local police were stacked up unwilling to attack. The CBP Tactical team that I had...

Holy shit! That's unbelievable... almost... Infuriating :cussing:

What color is the sky? Going to school should be vastly less risky than being a cop. And it is. I don't have in mind an appropriate ratio. Both...

More likely? Not so. There are 50 million students and 700K police officers, so a PO is 60x more likely to be shot. Not that any of these...

Well, they already have laid mines and several non-Ukrainian ships have struck mines or even sank... nobody has attacked Russia over it.

Only if Russia attacks first. And they won't. That is the difference. In a no-fly-zone, Russia can fly in and keep bombing unless NATO is willing...

Not quite. There is more than a subtle difference. In a no fly zone, Russians are attacking Ukraine over Ukraine, and NATO says "no, leave, and if...

Escorts would be probably safer. Working in close proximity to the convoy ships, Russia would essentially risk hitting NATO warships. We'd have to...

Ukraine must retake Izium, Mariupol, and Kherson They also need to find a way to restore shipping traffic so that their grain harvest can supply...

CDPHE announced CO’s first presumptive monkeypox case (confirmed OPV, awaiting CDC). This Denver case, like other US cases, recently traveled to...

All those pot heads shooting up the place after dumping their dirty pot needles in the park... c'mon dude. Legalize it. Federally.

I'm not opposed to a widespread buyback, but I'm also not convinced it will help much. I bet the gun manufacturers will support it and the pawn shops...

OK adding dunfree and leroy to my ignore should make this thread considerably less unpleasant for the same reason that ignoring Bunny and teletech...

Mandatory buybacks are confiscation with less financial loss. Voluntary buybacks are legal.

A problem is that there is great awareness of the huge desire frequently and loudly espoused by many to do mass confiscation, and that reasonable...

American Psychiatric Association Article: Mental Illness Too Often Wrongly Associated With Gun Violence

Not. For. Active. Shooters. This has been mentioned repeatedly. The response for an active shooter is IMMEDIATELY ATTACK: run towards the sounds...

I agree also

I actually think Trump would suggest something like that. He is not really pro gun. I do not think that even the #forevertrumpers would jump...

Exactly. Some must be brought to account, particularly the ranking officers who should have ordered and led the charge. Fucking cowards!

30 pages into the thread and hasn't bothered to get the basic facts of how this went down... tracks with his namesake and par for the course.

She? I'm pretty sure that was a 4chan hoax. Shooting locks doesn't work like in the movies. CBP's tactical team couldn't breach the classroom...

It is not like the crazed gunman was going to pick the locks. You have gone from shrill to obtuse, and not just in this thread. It has be...

That is a terrible look for the police. So is the fact that a bunch of overweight officers in body armor with AR-15s standing around threatening...

Reposting my mental health post

You believe that most mass shooters were mentally ill in a treatable preventable way? I do not.

We have more than one example of school shooters specifically targeting those who mercilessly bullied them, or targeted the school at which they were...

The presumptive vitriol directed personally is sad, but expected in the emotional response to this horror. Won't help anything though...

What on earth are you talking about?
