Schierbaum said the suspected shooter has been arrested at least 11 times and is someone who should never have been in possession of a gun. [More]

Yeah? And how does he propose to make that happen?

Interesting response options…

On a positive note, at least Moriarty wouldn’t have been scared.

Tangentially-Related UPDATES (Alright, they happened around Atlanta, so I’m gonna stuff ’em all in the same drawer)

• Gwinnett County Transit Bus hijacking
• Nurse shot, killed just days after she started her career at Grady hospital

These two take me back years, to a job I briefly touched on. They hired me to run their plant in SoCal but wanted to indoctrinate me with an introductory month-long gig as the preseident’s personal assistant, to learn the company (his) ways.

I wasn’t there but a day or two when he got the call that his Atlanta plant manager needed brain tumor surgery, so my trial by fire was to fly down there and take over the factory until such time as he could come back to work or a permanent replacement could be found.

I was going through the financials with the controller down there and asked why we were being hit up for something called “MARTA,” and she explained the Metropolitian Regional Transit Authority sales tax. The (black) foreman overheard us, laughed, and told me it stood for something else.
