    @Paladin was so overjoyed he had to be the first to post! :diacanu:

    Seriously though, what's the betting this is politically motivated given that it's a newsroom? It's owned by the Baltimore Sun. What's their political leaning?

    I'm sure there's no connection.

    Nope.

    None at all.

    It's one thing to speculate but how can they declare terrorism without yet knowing?

    Very possibly (and probably, I think). However, tempting though it may be to write our own narrative, it could be any of a multitude of other motivations (personal grudge, disgruntled employee, etc.).

    Do you understand the difference between speculating and declaring as fact?

    Obviously not. The dementia is clearly setting in to that old mind of yours.

    Sounds like he took Joe Biden's advice and used a shotgun. :diacanu:

    Reports are the shooter is a "white male" "in his 20s" "with a ponytail" and that he is "not cooperating with police" and is "refusing to identify himself."

    That's not a statistically unlikely occurrence.

    But if you want to play the race baiting game...

    From article:

    Officials told reporters that officers were able to respond to the attack within about a minute, "engaging" the suspected shooter at the scene and taking them into custody.

    ---------------

    One minute is a damn good response time.

    I wonder if the Trump defenders will consider that the Trump Administration's continual demonising of the press, cries of "Fake News", threats of shutting down critical news agencies and constant assertions that the press are unfair to dear Donald might help legitimise the idea of attacks on press offices?

    This is awful.

    I do want to let @Tuttle know he accidentally hit the laughter rep button, so he can go back and correct it.

    Huh. Imagine that. Now, let's look at the numbers.

    One could draw from those numbers that there's societal problems which lead more white males to become mass shooters than people of other ethnic backgrounds, or one could conclude that there's something genetic responsible. Take your pick.

    How does 56 out of 97 compare to their representation in the population?
