Looks like Akron is gonna burn soon.

When you add the 60 bullets to the abortion denied to a 10 year old rape victim, I wonder if Ohio qualifies as a cesspool?

It always has been.

I just learned that the dude was shooting at the cops.  How in the world is that not a righteous kill?  :huh:

Yeah, if you shoot at cops and then leave your gun in the car while fleeing, it isn't reasonable to expect that the cops would know that you were unarmed when they fired.

I am kinda wondering how thirteen cops got on the scene when the whole thing took only "several minutes" from the initial traffic stop.

In a city it doesn't strike me as surprising that thirteen cops would get on the scene in a minute.  The density of cop cars per square mile would be much higher in an urban area, and if the shots are fired, then every cop from every jurisdiction in the area would drop what they're doing and get going.  I've seen a lot of traffic stop videos where a call for a backup in a city setting seems to be answered instantly, as if 5 patrol cars were just sitting there waiting for the signal to get to the scene.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams weighs in on mass shootings committed by young men.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I read about his stepson dying on his wiki. Fentanyl OD, apparently. I guess Adams doesn't believe in drug rehab.

When an old male (let's say 60-70) is a danger to his career and others, society gives his fans only two options:
1.  Watch him wreck his career by saying stupid shit
2.  Tell him to STFU.

Those are your only options.  I chose #1 because it is funny as hell to watch a Trumpeter nail himself to a cross.

Not sure why, but I decided to check out the most recent Dilbert cartoons after seeing Scott Adams name - wondered how they were.

This weeks cartoons are fine, but the week before he did a whole series on rigged voting machines. :bleeding:

A post scriptum to Scott Adams' posts. I think he needs professional help. :(

What the fuck? So I take it his step-son committed suicide? I guess that would fuck up anybody. Poor dude.
