Holy ****. So your friend's aunt is one of those three? Crazy ****.

Yep, I think the clinician but I'm not going to ask my friend to confirm. Wild ****.

I checked your link but didn't get much information, so I guess it's still too early to know anything.

Yeah, first shots were fired at an officer around 10:30am, no injuries reported though (except for someone being treated for a dog bite??? but it wasn't the suspect so idk). In the last couple hours the only reports have been about the fbi deploying swat and hostage negotiators arriving on the scene. Will update as we hear more, obviously hoping this can end with no injuries or death.

It says he’s wearing body armor.

These days it’s probably a good sign if the person even wants to survive.

Has he said what the **** he wants?

Not yet, waiting for a press conference scheduled for 5pm, so about 15mins from now.

Edit: they pushed it to 6

I'll be listening here if anyone is interested in tuning in, since no major news sources are reporting on it. how about that stormy daniels tho, amiright

might be worth noting that campus security is unarmed per CA law

It was very brief and didn't offer any new information. There has been no contact since 10:30am so they cannot confirm or deny whether the suspect or the hostages are still alive. So there's been no contact for 8 hours.

Maybe they’re trying to contact relatives.

Yeah, lots of unconfirmed reports spreading through local news sources right now about multiple casualties. They just sent away medical choppers and half of their resources.

Confirmed all dead. Not clear when exactly they died. I'm skipping the next presser but I'm sure there will be more info coming out, but i gotta tune out of the play by play, this is so ****ed. Time to send my friend and her family some thoughts and prayers I guess.

That's terrible. Sorry that it's come into your life.

I hate to to bitch about a lack of media coverage since I don't expect major outlets to be journalistic anymore, but I think the likelihood of this being directly related to PTSD could have been a driver behind that coverage decision. And good decision on waiting out what is reported on. I'm trying to avoid breaking stories until an hour or so after they happen because breathless reporting always spouts off a lot of **** that I forget to fact check later on. I'm also not very good at it yet because that **** can be addictive.

.

So sorry.

Another teacher meltdown. Give this man a gun!

Like he gives a ****. The funny thing is he’s probably the only teacher they have who has enough respect to treat them how they deserve. The other teachers just use fancy teacher talk that boils down to they can’t learn because they’re retarded. I’m sure what he’s been trying to get across is the much more accurate they can’t learn because they’re *******s who never shut their ****ing mouths.

Terribly sorry to hear about this, Steph. It's always tough to be so close to a tragedy like that. Hope your friend will be okay.

This near you, Frown? Any details?
One Officer Shot in Standoff with Suspect in Pomona, California

I shot the officer.

But did you shoot the deputy?

*sigh*

Your own fault. I asked a perfectly simple question which you could have replied to with a perfectly simple answer, instead you chose to be smart. So you do smart, you get smart back. Believe it or not, I was actually very slightly worried you might have got caught up in the event. How silly of me, huh?

I was sighing because it could have been a lot smarter. Pomona is a couple of hours away from where I live, Cali's pretty big.

This was the lead story on Portland news last night, I'm terribly sorry for your loss Steph.

^ Well, it made me laugh, but I guess that on MB not every joke is for every member.
Luckily for me, I'm hip enough to pick up on the way you cleverly referenced an obsure Bob Marley song. ;)

He got it all right. He just likes to take any opportunity to belittle me. I'm used to it. Thanks for the supportive comment, but it was a pretty obvious response, which is probably why he didn't like it. I'll be tossing and turning all night now, worrying about his reaction.

Oh, yeah, of course Frownland got the joke; quite possibly thought of the response while typing, "I shot the officer." Sorry if his scorn gives you a sleepless night haha, but as he says,Cali is pretty big; more important in it's own right than many countries, if my school geography lessons serve me well.

Goddamn bitch, are you going through menopause?

Can the dude be a bigger a-hole? His two silver spoon fed dickhead sons are dancing the jig. I absolutely HATE entitled rich people like this.

Now that’s a nice trophy

China Clears Way for President For Life

Take note, people! The future of the USA, if Trump hears about this.

With a big wink to his supporters, no doubt.

Hmm. I may be wrong, but I think this is the only time I've seen Trump with his mouth closed.

^ Yes, this is nauseating news, but well worth posting. For anyone too lazy to click on link, the headline reads, " Trump administration quietly makes it legal to bring elephant parts to the U.S. as trophies". So it really is a can't-believe-that-news-story ítem. After decades of consensus among environmentalists and animal lovers, I can't believe that Trump is making such a retrograde step, effectively declaring that endangered species are there for rich people to kill for sport. It's as unbelievable as it is creepy.

But as with his other policies on environmental issues, tax cuts, mounting national debt and heavy industry, his attitude is always, "Screw the next generation, I'm going to get mine now," and unfortunately a lot of short-sighted Trumpets seem to agree, even though it's the reverse of responsable government, or the stewardship of resources from one generation to the next.

The article also re-itterates a warning made in this thread already;

"Trump reversal of elephant trophy ban underscores the need to watch what he does, not what he says".

Trumpets! ****ing brilliant! :clap: Are the female supporters called Trumpettes? :laughing:

I still don't understand how my democrat mother could have voted for him just because she was on some single issue **** about corporate taxes. I'm getting the distinct feeling that no matter how much I point out about him being human trash as a president that she's going to put on the blinders just so that she doesn't have to admit that she betrayed her principles (she's a ****ing vegetarian animal lover) for the sake of republican nonsense.

Dear god I hope he gets JFK'ed. No matter what it does to the country, the satisfaction would be absolutely priceless and I'd be able to live in a world without him in it.

Hence his 30% approval rating. My little sister thinks he's responsible for the sun coming out after it rains.

Talk about a Trumpette.

^ Thanks, TH !

^ Yes, to actually live under his presidency must be really frustrating. I'm hoping the blue wave will materialize, but the Dems seem to be dragging their feet. I expected them to be all over the tighter-gun-control issue, riding on that upsurge of what? 92% of Americans wanting tighter controls. Why weren't they up on their soapboxes saying, "Vote for us and we'll enact more gun laws"?

^ ftfy

Yeah I believe he's in discussions with Discovery and Nat Geo to have their "How the Universe Works" programme rejigged to show how it's him that does everything good in the universe. Something about renaming it "How the Trumpiverse works"?

For me to rediscover a theoretical faith in humanity the American people would have to publicly and obviously recoil in horror at what they've done by electing this man. But the right wing of all walks of life will carry at least as much water as is required to make him sound like a reasonable president, and the swing voters like my mother will carry enough water to make it sound like it was reasonable to have voted for him in the first place. And the liberals will hate him because they have no reason to carry water for him. But on the whole the American people will pretend that this whole episode wasn't an embarrassment to the entire concept that the human race should even be trusted with the right to vote.

Jesus Christ I actually care less about voting now than I did before. Yeah, if people voted more and were more educated this could have been avoided, but if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their ass when they jump. All I know is that the human race is willing to vote for Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump. My fellow man is simply not worth my time to care. I just hope the elephants can survive our idiocy.
