    I'm listening to Rick Sanchez. Yes that guy. He got a job on 610 WIOD and actually he doesn't sound like a fucking idiot like he was on CNN and WSVN Channel 7 Miami. He's actually very interesting to listen too. His voice also sounds better then it ever did on TV. I think he found his true calling. Radio. :lol:

    One of the interesting things is he's discussing that this shooting is way overblown and that the media is stretching it because it's a slow news day. Two suspects got into an argument, pulled guns and started shooting at each other. He's talking about how when he was on TV and everyone else in the media wants to keep people riveted to the seat to watch.

    He also mentioned that the 2nd suspect angle is false because of the way the police are acting. The police are loafing around the scene and he says when that happens there is almost never a second suspect.

    So we have two people got into a fight, shot at each other, and it was on a college campus.

    :shrug:

    How can that be? Aren't college campuses "gun-free zones"?

    Could be. From what I've heard from people at the scene, witnesses say that two guys were arguing about something when one pulled a gun and started shooting.

    Yeah, that's close to where I had my first apartment when I got out of the Navy in 1990... Not as bad as in the wards, but even then you knew what the cops were responding to.

    One shot in the leg, another shot in the ass. One in the abdomen....and the one who is critical wasn't shot, but had a heart attack.

    A little off topic (but not really since beer was mentioned) but I'm trying to find someone here in Augusta Georgia who sells Heilman's Old Style beer.
    Any help in this arena would be greatly appreciated.

    If you believe there is such a thing as a gun-free zone in Texas, I have some beachfront property in Nevada to sell you.

    yeah hate to break the bad news to you but there are "gun free zones" in Texas.

    More reports are coming in that this is gang related.

    If only someone had a gun, this tragedy could have been averted. :(

    Okay so two gang bangers get into it? We're they convicted felons? If so how, oh how did they get their guns. They shod know that it's illegal to have them. Why wouldn't they obey the law?

    Meanwhile two guys minding their own business were attacked and held at gun point in Sarasota Florida Sunday evening. One of the victims managed to draw his firearm. He and one of the bad guys both fired. The bad guys is dead, the victim is unharmed. Where is the National news on this?

    I found three different news articles about shootings in Sarasota, Florida over the last few days. You'll have to be more specific. Do you have a link on the story you're talking about? I think with all of the craziness that constantly comes out of Florida, it gets lost in the ether. And school shootings are still on peoples' minds, given how recent Sandy Hook was. People tend to care less about bath salt addicts going crazy and care more about students being shot.
