Use it to destroy the mine. Hurts the boss's bottom line, and creates more work for your co-workers.

The company is out of business. Its the bank's mine and excavator now; the ownership probably don't even live in the state (or if they do, they live in Louisville or Lexington which is quite a drive for construction equipment)

I mean we have quite a few logistic specialists in here now so I think we could find a flatbed for a few excavators or dozers to rack up some highway miles no questions asked.

I apologize in advance if this is out of place, I'll donate $25 to DVA or eat a 6'er if I'm wrong, but I just feel like I need to say this. I know 90% of what we talk about is directly connected to serving, and I always feel out of place because I didn't serve, but with gun violence I think I can lay claim to being personally involved.

Back in 2012, an uncle of mine was murdered by a psycho ex-girlfriend of his. He had a restraining order out against her and couldn't buy a gun legally, but bought one anyway because Armslist is still a thing and private sales don't require a background check. I sat next to my dad at the funeral, I remember the day she was picked up and charged, and I got into deep poo poo at work because I called out sick with no available PTO so I could attend the sentencing hearing. I starting problem drinking for a while, and dropped out of community college over it. It took me a good three years of my life and anti-depressants to bounce back. It was partly because of him I got into Infosec and studying computer security, one of his favorite movies was Sneakers and I like the idea that he would be proud that his nerdy nephew went into computer hacking because of him.

My family and I went though hell, and every time I see another shooting on TV I think about how some other family is going through what my family went through. And every time I hear about another mass shooting, I see what happened to me, but multiplied tenfold. I was 8 when Columbine happened, and I was 29 when Parkland was shot up. Vegas, Aurora, that community college in Oregon, Pulse nightclub, loving Sandy Hook, it never ends! We've gone from 'Never Again' to 'yup, mass shooting season is starting again'. We could encase every school in blast shielding and post armed guards at every public building, and it would still keep happening! We as a society never seem to want to confront the actual cause of mass shootings, and that's the easy availability of the guns used! If we had a bomb go off ever couple of months that killed people, we would say "hey, we should probably take care of that mass bombing problem". But because it's guns, woah hey slow down we can't do anything to upset the gun lobby, Wayne LaPieare might become mildly annoyed between suit fittings.

We're scraping up bodies like cordwood, but nobody in Washington wants to do anything because if they piss off the Gun Lobby or the House Freedom Caucus or the goddamn Koch Brothers they might lose their jobs and lobbying jobs and junkets to Nassau paid for by Wayne LaPierre.

I don't know where I'm going with this, I just wanted to vent about how loving futile it feels whenever another mass shooting happens. There is literally nothing I can do, besides donate to the Brady Campaign and move to Kentucky just so I can vote against Mitch the Bitch in 2020.

This shooting hit me harder than they usually do.
Earlier today, a woman in a burka was leaving Walmart, and a white dude in a Trump hat was following her. I knew that he was probably just parked near her, but I felt the need to make sure she got in her car unfucked with. I felt shame that I felt that I needed to do that.
Then I come home, and see the news.
Just gently caress.

On the Bellingcat article- the gamification of mass shooting has been a common thread among all active shooters. I think the issue is that now the poo poo is centralized, in an echo chamber where the idiots are so broke brained they don't realize their 'ironic' humor is no longer ironic, but the platform of their life.

Pretty much this. Also: I never cared about anything smaller than full length rifles before i moved to the south. After working in texas and having people tail me for miles before walking up on me with a hand on their gun in the hotel parking lot because they think I'm storm chaser I started being real interested in pistols and concealables. As soon as i move back to the north i doubt i'll ever go through a cc process again. Not that theres much of a process.

That's the point where the government would have to give them a practical demonstration of the phrase "live by the gun, die by the gun". The problem wouldn't be the people that just have a pistol or a rifle, it would be the people who have spent their entire lives stockpiling arsenals. Before we'd even get to that point, we need to start shaming the poo poo out of gun ownership.

Edit: it's going to take a major shift in the national conscience, or a civil war. I hope it's a peaceful process.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Nine people in Ohio have been killed in the second mass shooting in the U.S. in less than 24 hours, and the suspected shooter is also deceased, police said.

Dayton police tweeted that an active shooter situation began in the Oregon District at 1 a.m., but that officers nearby were able to "put an end to it quickly." At least 16 others were taken to local hospitals with injuries, police said.

I think this is what a second civil war looks like. It’s not the fragmentation of the military or the country into North vs South again, it’s going to be asymmetric terror attacks like this. The huge increase in right wing terrorism is coming when the Republicans hold the White House, the Senate and increasingly the courts- not just SCOTUS but federal judge positions too- and the “left’s” response has been mainstream politicking. There haven’t been armed Antifa raids on Proud Boys meetings or organized complex attacks on ICE facilities or police stations. Think of how much more violent and deadly the right will get when the next AWB passes, or when a Democratic president orders DOJ to crack down on right wing extremists, etc. and they start coordinating with one another to pull off these types of attacks.

Nothing scares me more than the idea of a Trump administration leading a gun control push. A close second would be disarming with neo-fascism on the rise and violent white supremacy becoming an increasingly common presence in the mainstream political sphere and law enforcement at all levels.

And there you go- a major right wing news source is signal blasting the shooter’s rants while the media outlet that informs and shapes the president’s worldview and actions is circling the wagons around him. We are SO hosed as a country.

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

The NRA is a bunch of culture war ghouls and should be guillotined with the rest of them, but responding to a rash of actual White Nationalist Terror Attacks by calling for the disarmament of the poor and disadvantaged is a hell of a take.

These terrorists are never going to disarm, they won’t be forced to disarm by the cops that support them, and they’ll just get more emboldened. And if they can’t get their hands on guns somehow they’ll start lighting people on fire like the anime nerd or use bombs like the guy who sent all those packages to Democrats last year or the guy who sent bombs to prominent black rights activists in Texas and killed a few last year or their hero Timothy McVeigh.

Radical right wing terrorists and their enablers need to be systematically dismantled but instead we have the FBI handwringing over the DSA and politicians continually dehumanizing minorities.
