Well they know he wasn't going to hijack the plane, how would he work the pedals?

Normal people pay more than that for a fucking speeding ticket. What a bunch of bullshit.

[Cyn]

I'm sure he has to pay the $200 or so 'court cost' as well. Speeding tickets here are actually pretty cheap usually. Hard to imagine that he's anything more than just the idiot that he claims to be if he ran a fucking $2,500 Stacatto through a TSA checkpoint.

Edit: I am a little surprised that they returned the gun, that doesn't always happen with 'normal' people for that charge.

Texas mall shooting; at least nine victims transported to hospitals.

Multiple people were shot, some fatally, at a mall near Dallas by a gunman who authorities believe was acting alone — and who is now dead — and at least nine victims were transported to trauma facilities, officials said Saturday.

A Dallas-area medical group says it is treating victims as young as 5 years old.

Authorities in Allen, Texas, responded to the shooting at an outlet mall in the afternoon, with ATF personnel on the scene at Allen Premium Outlets.

There was a search for a second gunman, according to a source, but police now say they believe the shooter acted alone. Police said an Allen officer killed the shooter.

It’s in Texas, where are all the good guys with guns?

It's a real wild west over there now huh? Definitely wouldn't have anything to do with Abbot loosening gun laws I suppose.

Guns don't kill people, people do.

Pretty sure the context that General Matthis said that was for Marines that were currently in a country that we were at war with. So I guess the USA = Iraq.

Went to see Guardians of the Galaxy last night. At every end I hear "tink tink tink" and then smoke starts billowing into the theater from the 1 entrance ramp. Immediately though "Well fuck this is it" as me and gf got up, told her to cover her mouth and people to keep their heads down as we exited out. Was fully expecting someone to start shooting. The 1 emergency exit is directly in front of the 1 entrance ramp. Thinking back on it I was like "That's a great fucking design nowadays to have a kill zone as you walk in and people are trying to escape".

Turns out some kids set off a fire extinguisher as a prank (Great way to get yourself killed if it wasn't CA)

Fucking hell this country man, it's great that even buying a movie ticket nowadays you always have the stressor in your mind of "Well this will be fun...but am I going to die for it?"

Best thing about Covid was the movie theatre becoming almost entirely optional.

Yeah I hate it, when I got the tix there were like only 4 seats taken up so I was like "Awesome, late Sunday showing, no one's gonna be here". Then as trailers began people just kept coming in and talking and I was like "FUCK THIS IS WHY I PIRATE SHIT"

The 20+ minutes of trailers and commercials is pretty awful nowadays

I will say the new Transformers movie actually made me happy they look like legit fucking transformers though. That's the only trailer I was like "Oh hey now"

Only 20?

I went to a showing friday morning as I was playing hooky from work. 10am showing, and previews ran till 1030. It's absolutely insane.

[Tyrath]

Yep, I had 30 mins before GOTG. Think that's a new record for me
