So, weird thing is, the OSU PD officer that shot and killed the assailant is a guy in my local dart league. Needless to say, I doubt he'll be paying for a single one of his beers come Thursday night.

It appears that I am wrong: If you pair this article up with the following article below, we have clearly left the 'Hate Trump Phase' and shifted focus to the 'Hate Muslims Phase' of the programming. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...irs-makeup-tips-for-hiding-domestic-violence/
It's off the front page of CNN and MSN already, less then 24 hours after it happened. As soon as they found out the perpetrator was a Somalian refugee they couldn't drop it fast enough.
Finally getting some rain in the South, which will help with the fires. Anybody here at TiB in the Smoky Mountain area? https://twitter.com/Redwolfstone123/status/803387522445258752
More like they dropped it because the only person killed was the attacker. No body count = no coverage. Edited because I learned it wasn't a shooting. It was a knife attack.
It's on the front "page" of the NY Times website, and at the top of Google News U.S., if that makes everyone feel better. I lean more towards CNN and MSNBC being shitty news outlets with short attention spans, as opposed to a liberal conspiracy. They don't get more liberal than the Times.
I don't know, other than the obvious ones(Fox News=Conservative, MSNBC=Liberal etc.) I just thought that most media was more power-worshipping than anything else. NYT heavily supported the Iraq war in 2003 for example.
Most media has seen attention-grabbing media and infotainment eat their lunch over the last 20 years, and have basically just become reckless pursuits of eyeballs. I mean CNN had literal months of coverage of a missing airplane for christ's sake. That's not bias, that's a made for TV miniseries.
Well, the support of the Iraq war involved the media believing a number of things that weren't true. We've pretty well devolved from journalism to picking a side and pandering. I honestly don't see the NYT, CNN, Washington post, Huffpo, etc doing a 180 and power-worshiping or anything like that. We'll see constant sensationalism and fear mongering to keep their base tuned in. Fox News and Limbaugh will defend practically anything. They're now saying the Ohio St attacker might have been encouraged by ISIS. Don't know that that's truly been verified yet. ISIS is claiming credit for the attack though. The only good thing to come out of this is that guy was an idiot, and a lot more people could have been hurt/killed.
Don't know if this is the right place to put this, but Trudeau just announced major oil pipeline news. Enbridge northern gate way is a no go. Enbridge line 3 and Kinder Morgan are a go.
Surely everyone is gonna take this news peacefully and remain calm No charges against the officer in the Charlotte shooting
The numbers are in for November, and Chicago is still a shit show: Final Stupidity Tally: 81 killed, 324 wounded November 2015: 37 dead, 165 wounded November 2014: 38 dead, 125 wounded Year to date: Total Shot: 4098 Total Homicides: 738 Meanwhile: "CHICAGO (CBS) — Cook County is demolishing three divisions, representing close to a half-million square feet of cell space, as the jail population has hit the lowest level in 25 years." I wonder if there is a correlation there somewhere...
Gun ignorance question: is there ANY practicality to that? It doesn't even look cool. It looks fucking retarded.
The first time I remember seeing anybody do that in a film was Antonio Banderas in Desperado. He didn't do it all the time. Maybe when he didn't need accuracy, but just badassiness.
