I sucked a dick for bus fare and then I walked home.

Gonna be a low triple digits body count.

As far as evacuation vs shelter in place, it's a really tough call. There have been a number of apartment fires where the only casualties were people who did try and evacuate and perished in stairways or hallways from smoke inhalation.

All they are saying is 6 dead and 50 injured and the body count is expected to rise.

Steve Scalise, GOP House Whip, has been shot along with a bunch of his staffers during a rifle attack.

And we have two shot Capitol police officers, per CNN.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Guy live in CNN eye witness saying 50 shots fired from a semi automatic rifle at them into the field from a dude hunkered down at 3rd base BEFORE capital police began exchanging fire, then like 100 more rounds exchanged. Scalise hit in hip(?) a bunch wounded. Scalise had only made it to second base no idea if who's on first is ok.

loving christ. CBS is saying four wounded, Scalise, an aide, and two cops.

Thank gently caress gun culture doesn't glamorize how to zero. This gently caress shot at least 50 rounds and only wounded 4 people.

NBC reporting everyone in stable condition and Rand Paul is mentioning that Capitol Police might not have been there if Scalice wasn't there, because Capitol Police only fully shadow leadership members.

Edit: might just be talking about scalise though, apparently he'll be fine.

Nah though ironically Bill OReily used to always bitch about there needing to be an AWB. :lol:

I bet you'll see "look what D.C. gun control does to innocent people." Does it matter if it was in DC or not? No.

Anyway today will see the hottest of takes on social media.

Jesus, this is going to be bad. In the US, I think they require at least two different set of stairs on towers for fire escape.
