BI NOW GAY LATER posted:In good news, Don Blankenship was found guilty on the more serious of the charges brought against him relation to the Upper Big Branch Mining disaster: http://wvpublic.org/post/blankenship-found-guilty-conspiracy-charge-acquitted-making-false-statements What the quote:Sentencing tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. on March 23. Defense says Blankenship will be out of the country then and will argue to push back date by a week. gently caress? How the hell is he being allowed to travel outside the country when he's awaiting sentencing. I'm sure the multimillionaire with the means to live comfortably in another country isn't a flight risk. No not a risk at all.

AP reporting they found 12 pipe bombs at the guy's home. I'll admit I guessed wrong on this one, though I think it's still a strong possibility they were planning for something, but snapped at the holiday party and shot it up instead.

mlmp08 posted:That distinction is called semi-automatics. Yeah I meant people need to be more specific so we know what they are talking about. From what I gather, the more extreme gun control measures some people call for are to ban all automatics, leaving only bolt and breach loaders, but because of the vague word usage I can't tell half the time what people are suggesting.

You have a wife and kids and live in a god drat gentrified area and get to do whatever the gently caress you want! Yet when you travel for your cushy job, you are always the one "randomly selected" for an extra security check. On the Internet (and perhaps also in public) you are called "Mohammed", the enemy, or a towel-head. And in the public debate you hear people advocating the wholesale genocide of your parents' homeland by "glassing the Middle East". Although you have lived your whole life in the USA it feels hostile to you. And you do love your grandma and cousins back in the old country and want to protect them. Basically the right wing hate machine is ISIS's recruiting department.

Was it the fact that his office was having a christmas party, and that the terrorist wanted to wage a war on christmas?

Isn't "snapped and shot up the place and brought pipe bombs" pretty much exactly what happened at Columbine? The fact that the suspects worked at the place for years, and their choice of a target with very little symbolic value make me think that this was probably a Columbine-like politically-unmotivated shooting, and not an ISIS attack or whatever.

I'm glad the Chief of Police is dismissing the goPro rumor as that makes it sound like they were trying to film evidence of their attack in order to collect compensation from Saudi Arabia.
