    unlikely.

    I say that because this person took a hostage in a Walmart, so I’d be genuinely surprised if she actually bought that gun. Hopefully the police update the case and we get a full back story including the origin of the weapon. Fortunately for everyone involved this ended well.

    the quote itself or the part where I’m right?

    it SHOULD be news. It’s a pretty terrible thing that idiot did. Thank Crom it went perfectly in the end.

    I did not see it on the news last night. Maybe we have some questions we’d like answered, like how this all got started. Or would you rather get fussy over how little or how much coverage this incident caught, which is exactly the amount of value I’d expect from your post.

    Ehhh, not so sure about that, because a lot of these mass shootings and related incidents have folks legitimately buying those weapons so that's totally within the realm of possibility.

    it is news, would have made more news had she gotten away, especially with the hostage - the threat is over, was a good shoot, not much more to report

    Sure it would have. Someone would have said, violent racist MAGA extremist gets shot after robbery…because it’s a white dude.

    if the attacker wore a red MAGA hat sure, we do not know her political views as she did not make them known, this was not a political attack

    if it turns out she was a huge proponent of CRT, BLM or Antifa, the right would go nuts with it too - just how it is

    as it is, seen nothing from FOX yet from this story either, nothing has sensationalized it to that point, at least not yet

    Well, I would at least like to know the truth about the context. I'm pretty sure taking a hostage in a walmart qualifies as some kind of news. It should remind people to CC and train with it.

    That's true. Those people (at least the recent ones) have a history of violence and have made threats, and clearly intended to take out as many targets as possible before dying by suicide or cop. This particular Rhode Scholar just brought one gun and took what appears to be a random walmart employee hostage. This looks like more of an impulse control issue, with a side of angry and stupid. Maybe she did, if I had to wager I'd pick stolen/borrowed.

    Yeah, because that show had to be taken off the air because it was apparently racist too. *rolls eyes*

    YeAh.. the USA's democratic party has been producing millions of loons since the Great Society pr4ograms of the 60s. A lot of pychopaths come from single parent homes.. an exclusive product of Demonrat policies

    Oh for Christ's Saks. The demographics didn't align with your desired narrative, so the only reason it was posted was because racism?

    There was a rock song in the 60s, I don't remember the artist or group, but the chorus goes like this:

    Well, I'm sure it wouldn't interest
    anybody
    outside of a small circle of friends

    No one involved is of national interest or importance. I stand by my flame bait assessment.

    This is t race reversal. In fact it’s a know fact that a white is more likely to be attacked by a black than a black is to be attacked by a white.

    Clearly another instance of racism that the white cops had to shoot and kill another helpless/misunderstood black victim.

    well I suck at remembering some songs. People taking hostages at gunpoint in a major public setting may not have personal relevance but it is worth at least an hours worth of interest. Mileage may vary on that, there’s a new Knives Out film to enjoy.

    And here's the thing; white man does something bad to a black dude and it's proof of systemic racism and makes all the headlines. Black dude/chick/or yet undefined lives outside the law which no one is above makes the news and it's flame bait which is proof of systemic racism.

    As for who gives a damn? I'm sure the 9 or 10 kids the perp had give a damn.

    At what point would she have had the opportunity to get out a gun while the perp's gun was permanently inches away from her head? Do you think that she looks like a ninja warrior and ready to burst into action at the smallest opportunity?

    No idea how the young lady working at Walmart felt about guns before this incident but I’d bet good money she is pro 2nd amendment now regardless.

    the women that bought the gun would have been better off never buying one too, guns come with risks and not everyone should own one, especially if they have issues controlling their temper
