Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts
- There is nothing more American in this day and time than people being killed while celebrating their "freedom." Six dead at an Independence Day parade.
- This video appears to be the best in capturing the gunshot sounds. That's definitely a guy pulling the trigger of an AR-15 weapon of war as fast as he could, pausing to put another clip in, and then firing again.
- Arrest video and photo. It took all afternoon, but they finally tracked him down.
- We've got another potential Pulitzer photo for another mass shooting.
- That looked familiar.
- Only victims identified publicly so far:
- If you dare, you can see the photo here. I'm becoming more and more convinced the public needs to see the carnage that an AR-15 can do in such a short time.
- Various photos of the 22 year old shooter.
- Of course.
- Not that it really matters, but the town of the shooting, Highland Park, has been the location of several movie houses.
- There was another shooting in Philadelphia at a fireworks show last night that caused crowds to scatter, but I'm not believing this big city police propaganda for one second. That's one magic bullet.
- There were dozens of fires across the metroplex last night as people decided to shoot off fireworks during a drought. Even the official Fort Worth fireworks show along the Trinity River had to be cancelled after nine minutes once fires broke out:
- In this story I learned that this is the same attorney who is representing the Jack County Judge who refused to perform same sex marriage. (That lawsuit is before the Fifth Circuit.)
- Random sports news.
- "The average price of a new car is at its highest on record, topping $47,000."
