Like does the hospital's billing department even collect on incidents like this.

I currently don't have insurance and I'd literally need to file for bankruptcy to pay for the bills of getting shot by a mass shooter.

gently caress this country dude. #1 in mass shootings and #1 in people without medical insurance.

Usually they have some kind of financial hardship program that writes off the debt or they sell it to debt collectors.

But if too many people do it at once in a fiscal year and there aren't enough paying patients it can bankrupt hospitals lol

Considering the distance this shooting took place at, wouldn't the fact that the silencer slows the round down considerably have resulted in potentially less hyperdeath?

No?

do you not know what intensive care units are for, and why losing power and resources would be very bad for them

the distance involved is trivial for modern guns, though I haven't seen any report of what the particular caliber of gun used was which would have a bigger effect

gun control is DOA forever because the people opposed to it are religiously obsessed with guns and will crawl over molten glass to protect their guns, but Democrats' awful messaging and somehow turning this into about silencers sure doesn't help

When the final verdict in Paddock’s legal saga came in, and Circuit Judge George Woodrich decided to let him off with a $100,000 fine and no jail time.

“He could be conning everybody, but this is an economic crime and he’s an old man,” the newspaper quoted Woodrich as saying. “My view is let him go… and good riddance.”
