Could we just have a Random Shooting Thread or would that be considered a political statement?

I was thinking that too, something like 'Mass Shooting Thread' as they're daily+ now.

Reports are saying the couple ordered everyone out of the Walmart, and the only person reportedly shot other than the 2 cops was the person with the gun.

How 'bout we wait for more solid evidence in the case before we heap praise on our concealed carry guardian angel of Walmart?

What website or news organization does it need to come from to be "solid evidence" nowadays? You should see a doctor and get that massive pantie knot looked at btw.

The article says he was the guardian of CiCi's pizza forcing them to flee and continue their rampage at the Wal-Mart where they then killed another and then themselves.

Either way it doesnt make a great argument for conceal and carry or open carry preventing the shootings from happening.

What article are you reading? This article mentions nothing about a "guardian of CiCi's"....

Any website or news organization capable of reporting official police statements? Instead of, you know, agenda-driven knee-jerkers relying on presumptions and hearsay.

Am I not allowed to have artistic liberty in how I draft my posts?

I coined that as a play on Pleebos post. Its in the article you posted. An armed civilian at CiCi's got into a shoot out with the assailants causing them to flee.

It's how people force the story to conform to their narrative. Mix and match the facts you like but discard the ones you don't. No point arguing against it.

Anyway, contrary to the headline, this type of thing doesn't happen that often here . _.

In this town we rarely have shootings. But we do have plenty of gruesome murders.

And there was this gem that the whole town still talks about:

Quote:
On June 25, at approximately 1:45 in the afternoon, the lives of two men intersected at the Getty Station on Route 15 in the Lake Hopatcong section of Jefferson Township. In a horrifying few minutes, two lives were forever ruined. One man is dead; the other man faces long, hard years in prison on murder charges, authorities said. And it was all the result of a botched robbery that netted the suspect a few dollars worth of lottery tickets.
Full Story

Owner of the gas station, where I used to buy my lottery tickets, got ran over and dragged down the highway and killed over a few dollars worth of scratch off tickets he tried to swipe.

Of course the guy who tried to steal the tickets, is a huge drug addict. It's the thing to do here.

Why weep? These shootings are easy to prevent- MOAR GUNS. MOAR GUNS is the answer. MOAR GUNS is always the answer. Instead of two shooters, we could have fifty, as everyone draws their own piece and engages in a firefight.

Hey, who doesn't like Westerns? Imagine how fun it would be, every day would be like starring in a classic Western film.

I'm actually waiting for the day that a dozen or so civilians pull out their firearms during a robbery or a mass shooting takes place.
