Makes sense, from the Republican point of view one of them definitely results in the death of a person, while the other one only might.

If you hear reports that the gunmen escaped in an SUV with a Bernie Sanders sticker or that they are planning a communist uprising, those are goon-started.

Depends what you mean by choice. I live here cause that's where my family is and my wife and I have good jobs, mine engineering, hers academic, and she's tenured. You don't leave a tenured job. Now if she could get a tenured job in ATL or actually literally anywhere not in the south I'd peace out in a second and look for a job up there.

I'm honestly surprised any university in the South has tenure still. Good to hear that you're doing OK, though.

Emergency confection port.

The LA Times quotes federal law enforcement sources: There are between one to three shooters who fled in an SUV and are on the loose. A suspicious device was detonated by a robot. The scene is not secure and they believe there may be another suspect still inside.

They always believe there's another suspect inside because they have to pretty much treat everyone as a suspect, I'm guessing it's only the three, hopefully.

It's probably only one person. I've seen enough early news reports on mass shootings to notice that the reported number of suspects is almost always higher than it actually is. I'm also disgusted that these happen often enough for me to notice a pattern like that.

I'm just gonna guess the shooters are Neo Nazis who killed the autistic kids because they are genetically impure.

I can't really think of any other 'rational' motive for this attack.

More witness reports coming in that it was three people with long rifles and they saw them get into an SUV to escape. So, while still "witness" reports, it seems to have a little more staying power.

Is there an event could happen that would lead to some kind of gun control legislation being implemented (even something relatively minor like mental health screening as part of background checks)? Or are we now 100% immune to any mass shooting event of any severity changing the status quo?

Someone, somewhere will say that these were hired thugs who shot up a center for autistic people to destroy evidence that shows the link between vaccines and autism.

Fatalities are official, but still no number. There are reports of a shooting at Patton Hospital, just up the 210, but that's unlikely to be anything more than a false alarm.
