Another Gun Free Zone that isn't

Evidence is starting to come out that the gun used in Garland TX at the Draw Muhammad day was purchased as part of Fast and Furious, or Gun Walker.

Or if the sheriff was Cleavon Little.

I liked him. I don’t understand why he wasn’t in more. I would have though there was plenty of room for a black straight man in movies.

Okay, attacking the National Guard now…

Face it folks, other countries have been dealing with this kind of crap for years. We got complacent (and arrogant), and we’re paying for it.

This is fast approaching an epidemic.

What the flaming fuck, people?

Don’t know, but this is looking like suicide-by-cop, with an extra helping of headlines.

The chaos at the Antioch theater happened in 41 minutes. The incident was first reported as an active shooter situation at 1:13 p.m. Police said the suspect died at 1:54 p.m.

41 minutes? And all he did was pepper spray three people and slice someone once, I’m going to have to second the suicide by cop idea. The story sort of says they evacuated the theater, that’s the only reason I could see not going in. He could have killed them all in a couple minutes.

This is starting to get like the period of time where Going Postal became a meme. I suppose we’ll replace it with going to the movies.

Sickening.

And people are already blaming the victim, and accusing DCF of murdering children.

In Indiana CPS doesn’t exactly have an awesome record in child safety. They often pull kids and put them in foster care only to find the foster parent is abusing them, or give kids back to drug addicted parents who then sell sexual services for drugs, or simply neglect them to death.

It’s not a job I’d ever do. Every success is ignored, every failure blasted on the front page. And you are making judgement call after judgement call. For some crappy pay. A buddy of mine does it, but he works with stable families that are trying to get by, not train wreck families.

But did this woman think that killing her case worker was going to get her her child back? Who thinks like that?

That’s a rhetorical question, right?

Unfortunately.

Wow. At 37 years old you need to booty call your boyfriend to get him to come over so you can take his phone and try to see who else he is talking to, and then shoot at him? And whatever “service” he is in that he has a service weapon needs to look at this man’s firearm retention skills.

What’s next, a car up on blocks on the White House lawn? What kind of screening do they do on these people?

I’m sure this will be all over the news right? That the President has a personal assistant that is so unhinged that she shot at her boyfriend out on the street? Since we’re so concerned about gun violence and all.

Usually the President’s staff is hired specifically by the President’s chief-of-staff. It’s more of a crony system. Therefore, the screening done by the Secret Service, et al., is rather rudimentary. That’s how Gannert was able to get a special “backstairs” White House pass, without a background check.

I don’t see that her employment in the White House is relative to the situation. How many people at your company have screwed up royally with no repercussions for the incident itself - I’m not counting losing their job for absences because they were in a holding cell.

And they have both been put on unpaid leave pending investigations.

$126k a year. That’s a nice gig. No court date till September, that’s going to be expensive even if it’s thrown out.

Wow, intern in 2000, presidential aide in 2014. That’s a pretty good climb in 14 years. Also helped write the ACA, after just a couple years as a policy director.

Singletary is a graduate of Hemingway High School and Howard University, Washington DC. She is the daughter of Councilwoman W. Jeanie Brown-Burrows and the late Bobby Singletary.

Crony is an understatement, she’s a legacy.

A friend of mine has coined the term “prophylactic shooting”, where police shoot someone who isn’t a danger to them anyway.

In similar situations, I’m often tempted to respond, “nothing designed as such”, but the urge has so far been overridden by the overwhelming desire to avoid closer scrutiny and/or cavity searches. :paw_prints:

You are right, but it might be more accurate if we acknowledge that there is some level of insanity in the act of killing someone who isn’t an active threat. Is there truly any other explanation?

Truth…unfortunately.
