Somali attack at OSU

[Gunz]

He used a car and a knife. He had no gun and yet CNN had "OSU Shooting" as it's headline for hours.

Somali student behind car, knife attack at Ohio State University that injured 9

It was initially reported as an active shooter, OSU's emergency managements email and alert system said it was due to the gunfire of the responding officer.


Dude is dead as they come now.

Good riddance.

It's become an automatic response for the press to initially label any "mass incident" as being an active shooter. Possibly for "eye candy" and possibly because they are in a hurry to be the "first" to report unsubstantiated information. Anyways, I would rather they be honest and simply report the initial incident as being unknown and then let us know as they develop the "facts."

OSU is who initially reported it that way. The news can only report what information is given out.

I do think they should wait, but if they did they(the 24 hr news organizations) would perish.

Yep...I was initially responding to Ocoka One's post about the press and then read right through yours where you stated it was reported by OSU as an active shooter.

It's been a long day...as you were!

Apparently a woman called in and said "military men" were stepping up and taking charge in classrooms:

We have quite a few military men in our class, who are actually all standing by the doors, keeping us safe,” one Ohio State student said in a phone call while the attack was ongoing. “I’m feeling pretty good about that,” she added.

My son was just telling me about that story. It was actually motivating as I enjoy hearing about Warriors that step up to the plate when they find themselves in scenarios where others wouldn't or couldn't. It was a good story found inside a bad situation.

Alpha males doing what Alpha Males do, I LOL at all the Betas letting the sheepdog herd them into the back of the room.

 

[Gunz]

When the sheep are scared shitless they forget all the bad things they've said about the military or their indifference to it. Our stock suddenly goes way up. I saw it happening all over the place on 9/11.

He's an idiot, BUT.
This was sent when it was still reported as an active shooter. He sent a retraction/clarification a few hours later,

Limbaugh just jumped on this one, he must've read my post.

He expanded it by asking where BLM and the race pimps are on the matter. It's their perfect case, a black man armed ONLY with a knife HAD to be shot by police?

So a man who wants to be second in command of this country sent out a message to the world without gathering all the facts?

So, you feel like someone posting misinformed or incorrect data to twitter makes them less capable of holding high public office? You might want to take a look at the PE's twitter feed at literally any time.

I think the President Elect is a giant moron, no argument there.
