Notes from the Resistance
Memorial Drive shooting suspect went to prison over previous shootout with police, sources confirm [More]
Don’t worry. Those who decided he could be trusted outside of custodial care won’t suffer any personal repercussions.
Funny, how this report doesn’t mention the armed citizen who intervened. (Pro tip to the ones that do: “Marine” should be capitalized.)
I just don’t have time to watch this DA press conference, but am told:
The head of the Cambridge Police as well as the Colonel of the MSP did not acknowledge the role of the “civilian” in this, only the bravery of the responding officers, who mostly arrived after the shooting was done.

Not my Hudson, but if Antifa blue hairs were involved I’d see where crazy begets crazy.
So now we have assault skateboards and skateboard violence? Hey, they’ve already got “commonsense skateboard safety laws.”
Gettin’ kinda crowded in here on what people can’t be trusted with.
When I had mine, they were still called “sidewalk surfboards.” It never did occur to me to kill anybody with it.

No worries. I’m sure anyone feral, cowardly, and retarded enough to indiscriminately fire into a group who is then immersed for decades in a brutal survival culture with like-minded beasts will be trustworthy again at age 38.
