OMG, the FedEx shooting was really really bad
edit to add, I just looked it up, Indy airport is one of their "super hubs", the main national hub for the U.S., so lots of people working around the clock

After a year of Covid affecting warehouses.
People are too stupid for guns.
by PeraclesPlease on Fri, 04/16/2021 - 3:24am
I've had CNN TV on in the background for at least the last hour. There has been very little time given to the FedEx Indianapolis massacre. They bounced from the Toledo video/Lightfoot to two long segments on vaccinations, to Biden/Putin/Russia and Biden meeting with Japanese prime minister. On the one hand, the balance is in coverage is a good sign, on the other hand, it's scary how it indicates a quick acceptance of mass shootings as a regular thing of little interest, the new normal.
by artappraiser on Fri, 04/16/2021 - 12:34pm
they have just showed: White House lowered their flag to half-staff, and earlier showed Kamala Harris making a statement about it and mentioning the president's attempt to agitate for more controls on guns. Clearly, from a quick update from a reporter, they are hampered by little info. coming out of Indianapolis. Reporter said he just learned that a relative of the shooter had warned authorities that some time ago the perp (deceased) had been threatening violence and may be dangerous, and FBI did investigate for quite some time but dropped it because nothing happened.
So it's a good sign that they are not doing the pretend coverage thing with opining by experts when they don't know anything. Just now the anchor is leading reporters about what has been announced and that is: very little. And that some families still do not know if their loved ones are alive.
by artappraiser on Fri, 04/16/2021 - 12:55pm
from the reporter for the local NBC TV station WTHR.com, this is probably why they are not saying much yet, most families don't know a thing because workers are not allowed phones on duty, they are telling families to go to a Holiday Inn to get briefed

It's hard to hold mentally ill people against their will unless they are constantly violent. The only answer is gun licensing!
(Cavaet: licensing will also miss many people who shouldn't have guns. So the less guns out there the better. Instead we have more out there than ever before, due to a year of protest and violence and pull back by many police forces due to protests supporting their defunding or abolishment. Plus promotion of gun ownership in rap culture now as well as the NRA culture that has long existed.)

Need more social workers on the NYC Times Square area to deal with these mentally disturbed visitors from flyover. It's not right to have the NYPD arrest and interrogate him; he was doing nothing wrong.
by artappraiser on Fri, 04/16/2021 - 8:50pm
Just because there's been 45 mass shootings in this country in the last month doesn't mean NYPD should start frisking people they suspect have weapons, that would be an outrageous abrogation of civil rights
by artappraiser on Fri, 04/16/2021 - 8:57pm

there's lots of comments about the airport fight here
many along these lines - why does everyone want to film instead of help break it up?:
and then there's lots along the lines of where's the cops/TSA/Feds?
but I thought this guy's was best along those lines, because I think it describes where a lot of our society is at:
because I can easily imagine woke types explaining that that's part of Afro-American culture working out social interaction official BLM style, and whites have no business interfering, much less a white police authority

Burnsville MN police shooting radio dispatch.Incredibly dangerous and confusing. Perp first runs several red lights in stolen vehicle, reporting officer does not pursue, perp later fires from car at police, tries to hijack another car. Mixed up with another case....etc. I don't know how they do it. Note at the end there is one officer reporting someone standing at a median videotaping...

All 9 injured were teens! And they apparently can't get anyone to talk about it!
UPDATE: Birthday party shooting leaves 9 injured, 2 hospitalized
Despite more than 60 people being in attendance, investigators say nobody has come forward with information about who was involved.

A reminder also that we have so many stereotypes about places like Mississippi, little consideration to what changes have and haven't happened the last 60-80 years - what Ole Miss is like these days, what changes the internet has brought, the change in income, what factories and technology they're working with... The median home costs $140k, low, but meaning likely many more people have their own home in MS than in New York or California.
(that was just a guess - but Mississippi ranks 2nd in the US for home ownership at 74%. How does that fit our image and definition of poverty and backwardsness?

Georgia Lawmakers Warn Stricter Gun Regulation Could Cause Mass Shooters To Move To Other States
3/24/21 1:00PM
ATLANTA—Stressing the importance of providing a welcoming environment unimpeded by bureaucratic red tape, Georgia lawmakers warned Wednesday that stricter gun regulations would only cause mass shooters to move to other states. “Georgia cannot and must not make itself a state that can’t compete with the rest of the country, and, indeed, the globe, in offering a world-class market for shooting fatalities,” said Georgia state senator Butch Miller, describing how proposals such as a five-day waiting period and closing gun show loopholes would simply drive unhinged shooters to relocate their mass-killing operations to more deregulated states like Texas and Arizona. “Let’s be clear: A lack of regulation helped make this state attractive to deranged murderers with something to prove in the first place. Imposing these liberal-backed policies will only compel these killers to search for greener pastures elsewhere—and frankly, I wouldn’t blame them.” Miller went on to argue that if the Democrat-led effort had its way, the shooters might even be forced to bring these mass casualties abroad to Mexico or China.

Church service: https://m.facebook.com/nekima.levypounds/posts/1666034576900491
(purpose of protest was to get DA to charge Daunted shooter with murder. Think this'll help?)
(btw, they got a neighbor cop's drunken wife fired - now they're out for the cop's badge. All because he doesn't want a loud street party in his neighborhood on Sunday morn? Imagine a bunch of loud whites go to a black neighborhood to do that.)

Interesting on many levels. First, gosh lookit that, police officers de-escalating a situation, will wonders never cease: At least two police officers can be seen corralling Gorder and Beer away from the group, prompting most of the protesters to walk away. But I thought they brutally abused all BLM protestors! That does not fit with The Narrative! Why are you filming and publicizing it? I am confused! White police are on your side now?!
Then this line just slays me, it's like out of a SNL skit: “It is a duty to fight for our freedom!” one protester can be heard shouting back at the couple. In a quiet middle class MN residential neighborhood? They are keeping slaves or prisoners there? One of those houses has a dungeon?
Then I thought more seriously about the free speech issues, including hate speech. Seems like these days if a guy and his wife decide to get drunk at home on Sunday and then go outside and yell hey you kids, get off my lawn, they should be advised that it could be filmed by the kids who will post it on social media and then appear in national publications. In which case your employer will see it and, if they are in a business that relies on reputation of dealing with children, they might fire you or put you on "investigative leave".
Conclusion: Big Brother everywhere now. While there's a big movement to protest against police when actually it may be that our worst authoritarian enemy now is the fellow citizen with a cell phone. People with cell phones police public speech and behavior the minute you step outside your house. Nobody hires them; they are us. There is no doing away with "cancel culture", it is here forever now, what is suitable public speech and behavior will be enforced by those who know how to get back atcha.
We all live in that nightmare small town now where everybody watches everybody else's business. There's definitely good sides and bad sides to that. As someone who prizes their privacy, I like the idea of hiring cops to do this. But there's always been those type with "neighborhood watch" signs in their window.
You know what? Just popped into my head! Clarence Thomas defined the phenomenon long time ago!
HIGH TECH LYNCHING.
In this case for using a bad word. But it will apply to everything now.

Yes! It is exactly the same thing! And the "ratings" for what the particular Karen choses to complain about are the decider about who gets punished. Not rule of law, not an independent arbiter like police, judge or jury. Ratings. Populist rule. Can be good, can also be horrific.
