America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?

Well shit. Maybe I could have saved some money and waited. I blame Nate Silver.

I guess we were due for another mass shooting but it looks like a knife was used instead of a gun.

Said nine people injured. Was it a stabber?

Car + knife. Lots of "fake news" floating around

[verb_to_trust]

Gun control activists must be devastated it was car/knife. Also, the fact that it was a refugee is going to have some legs...

[digster]

I would assume gun control activists might feel it's strong evidence of their point. Besides the suspect, nobody died.

What kind of dumb ass can't get his hands on a gun in America?

Thankfully this one.

In case you missed it, the suspect was featured in the school newspaper back in August:

“I just transferred from Columbus State. We had prayer rooms, like actual rooms where we could go pray because we Muslims have to pray five times a day.
“There’s Fajr, which is early in the morning, at dawn. Then Zuhr during the daytime, then Asr in the evening, like right about now. And then Maghrib, which is like right at sunset and then Isha at night. I wanted to pray Asr. I mean, I’m new here. This is my first day. This place is huge, and I don’t even know where to pray.
“I wanted to pray in the open, but I was scared with everything going on in the media. I’m a Muslim, it’s not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don’t know what they’re going to think, what’s going to happen. But, I don’t blame them. It’s the media that put that picture in their heads so they’re just going to have it and it, it’s going to make them feel uncomfortable. I was kind of scared right now. But I just did it. I relied on God. I went over to the corner and just prayed.”

Slager got a mistrial even though he was caught on tape murdering someone and then planting evidence? Might as well mobilize the National Guard now.

Murder I believe. They are retrying him. Based on some of the questions the jury was asking, there were a lot of dumbasses on it.

[digster]

The judge had told the jury it could decide on a murder charge or a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter.

The jury was struggling to reach a verdict late last week. On Friday afternoon the judge received three notes from the jury’s foreman, indicating that one out of the 12 jurors said he couldn’t consider a guilty verdict.

“I still cannot without a reasonable doubt convict the defendant,” the juror is quoted as saying by The Post and Courier. “I cannot and will not change my mind,” the juror added.

this shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale airport is getting a bit crazy..they thought it was over and now people are running around the tarmac..

Part of where I work is responsible for Veterans in Alaska. Guess who's phone has been ringing off the hook since the news found out that part.

Luckily I just work with the Public Affairs Officer, not for her.
