    Was wondering about that while at EVO in 2013. Had a friend who got nine other friends together to split a balcony suite. It was pretty awesome.

    I completely forgot about that. My friend that worked there did mention something about a bunch of people that put deposits down suing to get their money back.

    Greasing the skids for the next civil war/Bolshevik revolution. A bunch of micro assaults gradually ramping up over the course of a few weeks until everyone's too punch-drunk to see the final attack.

    Just curious as to how many more deaths it's going to take to get some fucking regulation.

    Oh who am I kidding death is too profitable.

    at least here on BG we have more posts in the terrorism thread than the gun violence thread, rite

    I suppose toddler shootings (at about 1 per week so far this year) can sufficiently populate the latter thread

    However I will admit there might be a possible link with his Filipino friend and that country's current fight with ISIL. We still don't have a motive so hey who knows.

    10 weapons in the hotel. A couple in the house. The guy had no criminal history and lived in a recently built cul de sac.
    The women was cleared and is not a suspect. Officials also said he was not part of any group.

    Hospital spokeswoman says the count was inflated due to people seeking shelter away from the scene. I hope I heard that right, crazy numbers right now

    There's a pretty clear correlation between gun deaths and gun restrictions. Given that we have more mass shootings than days of the year, try not to get too caught up in individual incidents and look at broader patterns.

    If this infograph is true then sure but Panda was asking about gun murders not gun deaths.

    Edit: er nvm wrong number

    Not to be a pedant, but until we know his motivation we don't know if it was a terrorist attack. Terrorism is violence in the pursuit of political aims.

    Valid, but that doesn't stop the terrorism label from being applied in certain situations and not others

    Sure, and usually because the police or feds make a statement about whether or not they are "investigating the incident as an act of terrorism".
