Usually you can get the idea of how serious it is in the first 30 minutes.

I remember one or two that seemed limited and then blew up, but usually that hasn't been the case.

san bernadino wasn't a sensation at first b/c the media was pushing the "workplace violence" angle

then the ISIS/muslim angle began and IT WAS ON

C'mon that shite isn't going to fly. Saying dumb shite to preempt dumb shite from the other side is just as shitty.

Yeah that is one of maybe 1-3 I can recall where the sense was that it probably wasn't huge, before it really became a much more notable event.

not really. you have to control the PR/optics from the get go

establishing the ineffectiveness of emotional appeals does that

You gotta do shite like this and p3wn them

Tragic.

And I remember just a few years ago when two USC grad students were killed off campus in a carjacking that Jim Mora Jr. had this to say...

quote:

"When you're talking about UCLA, it's one of the great schools in the world -- not just America, but in the world," Mora said. "It's a safe, beautiful campus in a great area of town. I mean, we don't have murders one block off our campus."

LINK

It was an incredibly insensitive and slimey thing for rival coach to say.

I wonder what he's going to say today?

Can a tragedy just be a tragedy for a few hours?Of course not. You should know that by now.


I know but why? How refreshing would it be with no agendas and just facts as they are discovered. No desire to preempt stupidity with more stupidity.

Where do I sign up for that? Al Jazeera?

if "they" stop pushing gun control every time, the responses will stop

Rumors are a huge issue with these stories.
