Like two minutes from my job, so that's cool. This country's obsession with owning death devices is beyond fucked.

Like two minutes from my job, so that's cool. This country's obsession with owning death devices is beyond fucked.

This seems to be some kind of work-related incident, like a “going postal” thing. Ugh.

[allegate]

So gross.

There’s something wrong with that kid, seriously, and they are taking advantage of him and using him. He is intellectually challenged in some way, and these vultures came in and his mom is a real piece of work trash can, too.

The police and public officials are largely AT FAULT, here, calling for help, not discouraging it in ANY way, making this kid think he was a Junior Policeman, and using him and the others like instant deputies. It’s CYA.

With the FedEx shooting, they were saying:

"Family members gathered at a nearby hotel to await word on loved ones — and some employees were bused there for tearful reunions. But other relatives said they still had no information about their loved ones hours later. Most employees aren’t allowed to carry cellphones inside the FedEx building, making contact with them difficult."

Why aren't they allowed to have their phones? It's just FedEx???

May just be a productivity thing.

Indianapolis police identified the gunman as 19 year old Brandon Hole, who was last employed by FedEx in 2020. The suspect was known to federal and local authorities, and a relative reached out to authorities warning about that person's potential for violence.

"I don't know what to say. Where have we gone wrong that a 12-year-old and 14-year-old think it's OK to take on law enforcement. What the hell is the department of juvenile justice doing sending them to places that can't handle them?"

I don't know guy, what could it possibly be.

that's so nuts. I hope Victor gets what is coming to him.

US Military Guns Keep Vanishing, Some Used in Street Crimes

Military weapons are especially vulnerable to corrupt insiders responsible for securing them. They know how to exploit weak points within armories or the military's enormous supply chains. Often from the lower ranks, they may see a chance to make a buck from a military that can afford it.

and with the military's racism problem this isn't going to get better.

edit: looks like they deleted it. I hate it when they do that.

edit 2: twitter API being stupid this morning. I hate it when they do that.

can't wait for all the tots and pears to come pouring out about how we can't do anything about this. it's maddening.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I mean it's a fake quote but apropos.
