Shooting at Las Vegas casino

Small hands?

 

May it progress quickly and ultimately run its course before causing too much more pain for all. I suggest watching old home movies or other things to remind you of better times.

 

I just don't buy it. "ISIS now has mind control!" sounds like an Alex Jones headline, meant to terrify people into buying a special hat that blocks Muslim mind control rays.

Russia or China, on the other hand, well... I'm skeptical, but that's a conversation I'd entertain.

I don't think a loosely-connected network of losers living in the rubble of Syria is going to be figuring out how to execute mind control over some burned-out video poker player in Reno.

 

Part of you believes this?

 

Is this her dad?

 

Well, that's one more politician I won't be voting for if she runs for national office. That's a special kind of stupid.

 

Regarding guns, I think growing up around them is a huge part of it. My father was retired Army, and from the time we got Daisy BB guns we were taught gun safety. I also got a solid dose of that from the Boy Scouts as well. Dad had a .22 semi-auto which was the plinking, tin can shooting, and squirrel gun. We had a home on eight acres surrounded by probably another hundred. I'd take it out squirrel hunting after school in season. When I was fifteen I got a twenty gauge double barrel shotgun, which I hunted dove, quail, and squirrel with. I took my first deer with it when I was fifteen.

That, more than any other experience, taught me to respect the power of firearms. I was in a tree stand, the deer walked in to maybe twenty yards away. I took one clean shot, and he hit the ground, kicked three times, and he was done. When we gutted him the buckshot had gone through him, most of the pellets were stopped against the inside of his hide on the far side of his body. I can think of no better way to impress on someone the deadly potential of a gun in your hand.

We lived just outside of Atlanta. It's not like I really grew up in the country, but it was simply part of our lives to camp, hunt, and fish.

 

Interesting thread by the woman who covers ISIS for the NYT

 

Interesting that David Hookstead - of the Daily Caller - couldn't be bothered to include a link to the CNN page or cite a specific story in which this photo appeared.

This is the same David Hookstead who interviewed "an NFL owner" about the pregame protests.

Turned out to be a guy with one share of Packers stock.

Hmm.

 

How about the tweets he used to promote it?

So the board's champion of good reporting and proper evidence posted something from an unreliable source with shitty reporting and no evidence? The cowardly hypocrite strikes again.
