Great, I can't wait for every single "responsible gun owner" harping on how it wasn't an AK it was actually a RK 67 or some poo poo and the politicians and media are loving idiots how can they be trusted to make gun laws when they don't know literally every single bit of gun minutia?!

If this guy is somehow killing hordes of people with a motorcycle, then clearly it is his fault and not that of the bike. :colbert:

As a resident of Denver, let me chime in with the usual "fire Colorado Springs into the sun" sentiments.

Every time I go down to visit the handful of decent people I know there, the town gets shittier and shittier. No municipal garbage collection, most of the streetlights are intentionally left off at night, and now apparently when it snows most of the roads only get one or two lanes plowed, if any at all.

All of this plus the overwhelming conservative Evangelical-ness of the city makes it probably The Worst Place in Colorado.

There was that one where a guy came to the rescue and shot the victim by accident and then fled a few weeks ago, IIRC. Made sure to pick up his shells first though, like the pro that he was.

What's truly surprising is that the number of threats and attacks on abortion clinics dropped off in the mid-90s and managed to remain (relatively) low since, even before the partial birth abortion ban of 2003.

Hopefully this doesn't signal a resurgence of the violence against clinics from the early 90s.

Unfortunately a safe room is only really safe if

a) everybody makes it in or
b) you're willing to accept that the people who don't are doomed once the hostage taker finds out where the safe room is and starts shooting people until they open up

Something to make people a little happier

quote:

The 13-year-old Internet phenom who gained national attention criticizing President Barack Obama and briefly was a part of the Ted Cruz campaign is renouncing conservatism, saying he's looking to be a voice unbound by party ideology.

CJ Pearson told CNN on Friday that concerns about the Republican Party's viewpoints on racial and gender disparity as well as youth issues convinced him he could no longer be a mouthpiece for conservatism.

"I was tired of being a champion of a party that turned a blind eye to racial discrimination. Tired of being a champion of any cause that denies equal rights to every American. Tired of being a champion of a party that doesn't care about the issues important to young people," Pearson wrote in an email.

Gun people get so pissed off every time someone mislables an AKsomething as an AKsomethingelse, but no one cares when someone classifies plan B as abortion, or when Carly Fiorina references abortion videos that don't exist.

Abortion is probably going to be severely limited, or de facto outlawed, in my lifetime, and it sucks. I wish I could find a doctor to sterilize me but since I'm under 30 with no kids that ain't happening.

Police dispatcher and part-time patrol officer in Massachusetts shoots his own cruiser in a field, drives it into a tree, and calls it in along with a hoax bomb threat back in September. When he gets found out and is indicted last week, he shoots himself. I really want to know what he was, uh, thinking in September.
