mtutiger Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Clearly there should have only been a single point of entry into and out of this *checks notes* 4th of July Parade. It may be too soon, but with the rationality displayed by some, surprised it hasn't been suggested yet Edited July 4, 2022 by mtutiger Quote

Doesn't matter if it's isolated incidents like the one in Highland Park or a school in Uvalde, or criminal activity on the South Side of Chicago or in South Dallas, the intensity and frequency is different here than elsewhere.

Expand I once heard Breyer say ( loosely paraphrasing) that when things made no sense constitutionally, that the court had two choices, leave the republic to the vagueries of the amendment process, or step up to the plate and do something reasonable for the benefit of the nation. We need a lot more of that approach and a lot less of idiots like Thomas and Alito who would drive us over a cliff on a fool’s errand trying to parse the 18th Century into the 21st. He’s going to be missed. Edited July 4, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote

Edman85 Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Guys, I had flashbacks to 2007/Brian/VT today. I will preface this by saying my family is okay. But there was a short period there when I didn't know and I had such shitty cell service. On the family group text, my brother sends a pic of my nephew at a parade. My brother lives in greater Chicago. An hour later a friend at the party I was at said "Shooting at an Illinois parade." I didn't have the service to find out which parade or hear back from my brother. It ended up being a different parade. This needs to stop, now. 3 Quote
chasfh Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 I seriously wonder: while he was being arrested, did the shooter try to appeal to what he assumed would be the cops’ Trumpiness? That’s the kind of thing people with a sense of entitlement would do. Quote
