It’s ridiculous to cheer or even justify this murder.

It’s drifting onto Taylor Lorenz and other loony leftists’ territory.

Somebody's probably mentioned this but maybe the guy potentially facing federal prison for insider trading suicided himself hoping to leave his family with an insurance payout.

Sending himself threatening messages and having messages written on the bullets to make it look like somebody that hated the company did it.

Insider trading sentences aren't typically too long but maybe there's more to his malfeasance he knew would be uncovered.

Subsonic rounds don't create enough energy to fully eject, and the suppressor will reduce energy even more.


This is someone who is completely making shite up.

Completely wrong on both accounts.

I think so. I’ve watched enough true crime

The Boston Marathon manhunt and capture was incredible. If that was handled with quickness, this can as well.

So, let’s assume for the sake of argument that United *does* deny claims for some ailing grandma. And let’s say that the family is unsuccessful in procuring enough funds from charity to provide the treatment.

Ethically speaking, using your logic, wouldn’t the gunman be justified going around shooting people who did not donate to the charity?

If denying funds is akin to murder, isnt a person who refused to donate to the grandma’s charity committing murder?

What?

They definitely eject.

Shooter knew what he was doing, the gun "jamming" was by design so he could keep the casings.
If they didn’t eject, how were multiple rounds fired?

Also, jamming wouldn’t help in retaining the casings.

That view makes no sense.

Think really hard about the difference between medical insurance and charity.

Racking the slide manually ejects stuck casings or unspent rounds..

An appeal to extremes is an often fallacious application of reductio ad absurdum where one takes an argument to an extreme and neglects the actual circumstances or implications of the initial statement.

When you realize it’s time for you to take a break from arguing.
Assuming self awareness of course.

He’s wearing a completely different set of clothes and AI and people are drawn to similarities in the nose. Could be him, could also just be another dude. Wondering if they tracked the phone he dropped and went back through where it was pinging and found that or got a tip from someone.

Of course, but the idea that it was all planned to help facilitate his ability to save the casings is asinine.

And as for the idea that subsonic rounds don’t eject is incorrect, unlike what was posted earlier.

You can find plenty of videos of silencers with subsonic rounds ejecting properly.

What the poliboard and others of their ilk don't understand is that populism is neither right wing nor left wing. It's a political philosophy of its own and it won't be corralled onto one side of the spectrum. In embracing populism they grabbed a tiger by the tail. If they don't know it yet, they soon will.
