    I'd love to watch the sanctimonious twats in the Republican caucus try to argue theology with the Rev. Sen. Warnock.

    He was caught in a condo subdivision. About a mile by car, 1/2 mile by foot.

    The truck he stole was found at the dot on the bottom of the map, he was arrested at the dot at the top. The line connects the garage and the condos.

    He was found hiding in the pool area of the condos.

    Police were tipped off by one of the homeowners in the condos. She had a hunch that he would be found there, the pool house doesn't have windows and she felt it was the perfect hiding place.

    Suspect was at the medical center for an appointment, he became agitated while waiting. His mother is blaming the VA Center that he had received treatment at.

    You should be fine as long as you have you sniffing glue.

    Have we had any shootings where other posters were that close to the shooting as it happened, or in the same vicinity as the shooter?

    I was in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. Roughly a mile or so away from Mandalay Bay.

    Did a forum search and found this post from back in October 2017. The first part of the trip I was at ARIA but the last part I was either at Palazzo or The Venetian. Can't remember but the photo of my coffee is definitely from one of those hotels, judging by the upholstery.

    Conservatives-...okay then...:what:...

    *A couple years pass*

    Republicans- Nuts can have guns again!! :soma:

    Conservatives- Oh, thank fuck! :happytears: :whew: :salute:

    No. Fucking NO.

    If you can't be trusted with a gun, you can't be trusted to walk freely. You need to be in custody and/or under supervision at a minimum.

    It's amazing how you'll lock up people that haven't done anything.

    Well, there goes most cops, and 75-80% of Wal-Martians.
    Can we turn the Wal-Marts into loony bins?
    Would save a lot of time.

    If they haven't done anything, you have no cause to take away their guns. We are not doing pre-crime.

    No, just applying the standards you set for others back to your own crappy statements.

    If they can't be trusted...

    You must be very trusting.

    Very much the opposite. I just believe in choice and consequence, IN THAT ORDER.

    You trust no one, and if someone can't be trusted to own a gun they should be institutionalized.

    That's some catch...

    It's not pre-crime though.
    Because the UA version just isn't called that, and it makes all the difference.

    I think it's a reasonable compromise. I don't really give the benefit of the doubt, but I'll still wait for you to fuck up before I impose consequences.

    I live just over a mile away from the Boise Mall. I was home when the asshole started shooting. I don’t shop there.
