Shooting at Las Vegas casino

You really think a personal attack like this on a thread about a mass shooting is a valuable contribution?

 

It already got one like.

 

That raises a good point. When you have sources who should be reliable using an imprecise term, it is going to show up in some of the media coverage of the event.

 

Congratulations. Your need for validation has been fulfilled.

 

I'm going to hate myself for this, but ...

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????!!!!!

THAT'S ALL YOU POST HERE! BASEBALL THREADS. GUN THREADS. THREADS ABOUT PUPPIES.

HOLY FUCK!!!!

 

Except it isn't, but you are welcome to believe whatever gets you through the day. People, one in particular, are using the minutia to clutter the discussion. That's fine on a running sports thread, but this? Sorry, it deserves to be called out.

 

Do we know if Muhammad Ali's wife was there?

 

Are you thinking pesticides drove this guy to murder? Is there some indication he did a lot of gardening?

 

1. It is a D_B
2. The cop is awesome
3. I was amazed at some people strolling - I mean strolling - as the gunfire goes off behind them.

 

The NYT conservative columnist makes @Dick Whitman’s point.

He also makes the point that liberals aren’t doing themselves any favors with their current arguments, which often contain factual errors.

In fact, the more closely one looks at what passes for “common sense” gun laws, the more feckless they appear. Americans who claim to be outraged by gun crimes should want to do something more than tinker at the margins of a legal regime that most of the developed world rightly considers nuts. They should want to change it fundamentally and permanently.

There is only one way to do this: Repeal the Second Amendment.

Repealing the Amendment may seem like political Mission Impossible today, but in the era of same-sex marriage it’s worth recalling that most great causes begin as improbable ones. Gun ownership should never be outlawed, just as it isn’t outlawed in Britain or Australia. But it doesn’t need a blanket Constitutional protection, either. The 46,445 murder victims killed by gunfire in the United States between 2012 and 2016 didn’t need to perish so that gun enthusiasts can go on fantasizing that “Red Dawn” is the fate that soon awaits us.

A Rush Limbaugh listener ....

Complaining about accuracy and "mistakes" in the media ...

Because those "mistakes" fit their political agenda.




Hey Rush - what's the real unemployment rate these days?

 

They're not "mistakes" until they get published.

Now, they get published right away. Before, they didn't. That's the difference. It was harder to highlight reporters' "mistakes" back then because they didn't make as many, thanks to "editors," whom we are told now are unnecessary.
