This is awesome. She deserves all of the praise she's getting and that was a clever way to outsmart the shooter.
While all the politicians are screaming about laws n 2nd amendment ... The question that really needs to be asked is why are these kids so broken ? I mean I got into plenty of fights in school until people knew to leave me the hell alone .. but I never wanted to shoot any one for fuck sakes.

What's gone so wrong ? is it familial ? , is it societal ? is it generational decline brought on by growing up in adverse conditions , systemic abuse ? emotional neglect ?

Something is fucking broken but no one seems to want to find out what it is ,, just scream their political viewpoint and agenda.

This is a great point.

I feel like kids used to fight more, yet there were less issues. A guy could get his ass kicked without wanting to kill everyone the next day. Or in your case, you could beat somebody's ass but have the common sense not to take it further than that.

I couldn't say it any better myself. People had guns 40 years ago, yet they weren't using them to massacre innocent people. I think it's a combination of all of the things you said, perhaps along with a culture that does not value humanity the way that it should.

I love these types of topics but sometime around string theory and quantum computing I stopped being able to comprehend them on any real level.

The pagers that exploded across Lebanon on Tuesday may be from European companies:


A Hungarian firm, BAC Consulting, has been linked to the thousands of pagers that exploded in Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least 12 people and leaving nearly 3,000 wounded.

The name of the Budapest-based firm first cropped up in a statement by a Taiwanese manufacturer, Gold Apollo, whose label appeared on the devices. Gold Apollo said it did not manufacture the devices and that they were made by its Hungarian partner, BAC Consulting.

"The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it," Gold Apollo founder and president Hsu Ching-kuang told reporters at the company's offices in the northern Taiwanese city of New Taipei on Wednesday.

"We may not be a large company, but we are a responsible one," he said. "This is very embarrassing."
