Press conference now.

Shooting was the result of a "confrontation", and was not a random shooting.

 

[poindexter]

Shooting was the result of a "confrontation", and was not a random shooting.

Oh.

Then its all good.

 

[YankeeFan]

Oh.

Then its all good.

Who said that?

 

[DanielSimpsonDay]

Oh.

Then its all good.

It was a spontaneous, rather than premeditated, display of responsible gun ownership.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

No more updates. We're not interested in 'news' around here. Stick to general bitching, moaning and snarkiness.

 

[YankeeFan]

There's still a chance that the shooter acquired the gun by exploiting the gun show loophole, so there still may be some political hay to be made.

 

[poindexter]

I'm not ruling out lack of jalapeno bacon Mac 'n Cheese as the impetus for the confrontation.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

It probably was an argument over long-snapping tweets.

 

[dixiehack]

Afterwards, fraternity members characterized the incident as "rowdy" but not "fun".

 

[Dick Whitman]

Oh.

Then its all good.

No. But it's not significantly different than the dozens of bar and domestic shootings, for example, that will happen this month with almost no coverage.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

It's not friendly to the narrative.

 

[Stoney]

It's not friendly to the narrative.

How so?

Northern Arizona and Texas Southern are the play-in games.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Northern Arizona and Texas Southern are the play-in games.

Having their shootarounds?

 

[Ace]

Have we skipped the requisite expressions of sympathy?

 

[hondo]

Pretty flippant and insensitive thread title given what's happened recently.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

When have we ever had those? Guns are bad, but what's REALLY bad are the people who disagree with me. The question is: How do we get rid of THEM?
