Fuck. I hope she's OK. I guess this is so commonplace now that it doesn't even rate as "breaking news" on CNN. Front page shows nothing. Had to search to find articles on local news sites. The 3 reports I saw still say "possible", so maybe CNN is waiting for confirmation of an actual active shooter. Either way, super fucked up and way too prevalent.mrussel1 said:Just got a message from a high school friend that she's hiding from the active shooter at Medina hospital in Ohio."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please."

It's over I believe. Turns out it was a woman in a medical office building threatening people with a gun. I believe she has been detained. https://www.cleveland.com/crime/2018/11/medina-hospital-placed-on-lockdown-as-officers-respond-to-scene.htmljeffbr said:

Yeah, I don;t think that was thought through...but I don;t believe they meant to be mean. To be honest, I had that same initial impression and then thought about it a bit and came to your conclusion before I posted anything. Wait till it's over and see if people are safe and then joke about the joke that is American gun control. Someone made a similar point back to me in the Fire thread that made me think more and I agree now, gotta get out of the danger to life 1st before the discussion.my2hands said:Bentleyspop said:

I love what Cletus says: “There are two things, I got two motivators,” Wolfgram said. “One, we thought it would be good for everybody’s safety to have a handgun in the home. And then also, it’s kind of fun. So we have company outings planned for going to the shooting range and this kind of thing.”
He tosses the proverbial 'safety and protection' ditty in there, but adds the real motivation afterwards that you just can't justify by itself... havin' fun shootin' shit.

1. Do you really think most gun owners fit that stereotype? I didn't think the anti-gun crowd really believe that, but I am seriously questioning it since there are many in the anti-gun crowd who only refer to gun owners and redneck, inbreeds without teeth with an IQ of about 12.
2. If you don't really believe that, then what is the point of continuing to reinforce that stereotype? Doesn't that just separate the 2 sides further, making compromise less likely to happen? If I really wanted change from a group, I wouldn't attack them and call them names every chance I get, then expect any sort of change.
Its not offensive to me, but I guess you can say it is a pet peeve, and even more so that it is acceptable to stereotype a group. A group who mostly want change too, but is isolated by comments like that.0
