Mass shooting reported in San Bernadino

Oh, and IBG.

Heh I dropped it in the cell phone thread. Just did a quick search on "Bernardino" and didn't see this one immediately

Also from the article: "Attorneys representing the Farook family didn't immediately return calls for comment."

What does this mean? Journalists always write stuff like this. Did they return calls 5 minutes later? The next day? Not at all? And if "not at all", why include "immediately"? Sorry... pet peeve of mine.

In my experience, journalists use this whether they've given 5 minutes or 5 hours. And yes, sometimes it is only 5 minutes. The message goes like this, "Mr. Lex. I'm Cindy McBeardless with the Indianapolis News. I'm afraid I'm on deadline, and I need to get the story to my editor in 5 minutes. If you have a comment for my story on dinosaurs, call me back right away. Thanks."

Dude. Not my fault you put it in the wrong thread.

So it's a CYA thing for the benefit of their editor? Like, "Hey, I tried!"

Yes, and I've had them take the voice-mail option when I am sitting right at my desk...I suppose because they didn't really want a comment, but their "ethics" require contact.

Ha ha... you said ethics while speaking of modern journalism.... That's some funny stuff right there!

Wait. Did G get scooped? What were the timestamps?

Just... as T said above... in the wrong thread.

I put it in quotes for a reason.

Uh... actually... I was posting from my secret lair in the Azores, so the timestamps are unreliable. Mine was hours earlier. More like days.

Yeah. That's it. That's the ticket.

Three men tried to stop San Bernardino attack, report finds | Fox News


"These victims had no chance to protect themselves as a result of the callous perpetration of violence, while others heroically sacrificed themselves in an attempt to stop the shooting," U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker




Others would say the victims had no chance to protect themselves as a result of a state mandated gun free zone which rendered them easy targets and further empowered the thugs, you worthless piece %&!?$@#+^&@!

 

[Alamo]

The US Attorney was correct.

...a state mandated gun free zone...

certainly counts as a callous perpetration of violence.

When you boil the law down to its most basic essence, it's about the application of violence. Who it gets applied to, who gets to apply it ("the State").

Darn evergreens, making people go crazy because they don't have leaves.

Seems like a reasonable response then....

The reasonable thing to do would be to ban Christmas. Common sense regulations.

Crap, its Christmas time again, what with that, and Trump winning the election there's no hope for us! They have all the excuses needed to run rampant! Looks like the zombie apocalypse is getting ready to kick off?

 

[historian]

The great Irony is that they called it a "Holiday" party because they already had removed "Christmas" from the title.

 

[HoughMade]

Trump will, henceforth, be the cause of all domestic terrorism...ignore the fact that they also went on under Obama.

Well, to be fair and good people we need to just remove any party however remotely associated with that traditional party time of year.
Maybe only have a party around the end May to June or something. (not cinco de mayo or may day.... etc.)

Definitely not around the first week of July before the 5th because I hear the people that celebrate then are racist kkk members
