Gotta be a record for mass media dropping coverage of a shooting of this magnitude.

The weird thing is it sounds like a supervisor killing subordinates. Not exactly the typical workplace shooting.Bi_3 wrote:Stickman wrote:Multiple People Fatally Shot at a Walmart in Virginia

Re: America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?
The reporting on the Colorado Springs thing has been really weird. Maybe the DAs department is prohibited from commenting on dropped charges and the cops are fine with things being ambiguous.
Based on the language used (and charges being dropped) along with the shooter's online notoriety, the claims presented could be consistent with this dude getting SWAT'ed in 2021. It's hard to imagine a legit bomb threat resulting in no consequences, but it also hard to understand why the police department wouldn't clarify if that's what happened.

Based on the poster, I assume this is one of those Airbnb house parties which are certain to annoy the neighbors and generally be a bad idea, but not necessarily descend into violence.Bammer wrote:Yeah WTF mac?Ms Harmless wrote:what part of this poster indicates that trouble was inevitable here?macphisto wrote:

Those short term rental companies just do not give an F.
Probably safer in general to go to a downtown nightclub with proper security and a faster police response time to one of these things, but it's probably hard to sus out the number of incidents per 100,000 guests for either conventional night clubs or pop-up house parties with a door charge.

Apparently they found no bomb . But still no clarification on why the record was "sealed"

Re: America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?
Yes, but sometimes records are sealed anytime charges are dropped. Not sure what makes any sense here. Very strange coverage, someone in Colorado Springs knows what happened but won't or can't explain what happened in 2021.knee tunes wrote:simple schoolboy wrote:The reporting on the Colorado Springs thing has been really weird.

Re: America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?
I watched a lot of the news coverage. Apparently the kid changed his name to avoid connection to his dad, who is a ",porn star" . The dad thought the kid was dead for 6 years apparently, it's so messed up
Also I believe it's sus that's he's pronouning with they,/them although I could be wrong .
