I was pleased to see that news of a feathered dinosaur discovery was trending. Turned out that it was being spread by creationists who were convinced that it disproved the age of the Earth since they misunderstood it to contain soft tissue (impossible), rather than fossilised soft tissue (very rare).

So the police shooting in Fox Lake, IL a couple of months ago was a carefully staged suicide?

That's what I heard on the news this morning, but at that stage it hadn't said he had been doing anything illegal up to that point.

Now, it will explain why there was absolutely no trace of the three suspects despite half of Illinois' police forces descending on our little village within hours of the discovery of his body.

I didn't buy the suicide angle when it was first suggested months ago, why he'd shoot one round into his vest then one into his chest under it. If you're going to off yourself, there are much easier ways. Though if the allegations of criminal activity turn out to be true, I suppose it makes sense. I did know there was something dodgy going on surrounding the resignation of the chief of police earlier in the year, though.

I saw a story this morning that along with that case, two other cop shootings were also self inflicted. All three stoking up great anger against the "black lives matter" movement at the time.

Now I'm not one to suggest conspiracy theories...

Suicide is a hëll of a price to pay to create and build up a conspiracy theory.

True, it was more in reference to the other two who are now being charged with filing false shooting reports and whatnot.

Pulaski

Ah. Sorry, I read "shootings" to mean "killings".

There's an active shooter in San Diego right now.

I'm in Dallas for work, but listening to the police dispatch online: San Diego City Police Dispatch

The world we live in.

Now 5 stabbing victims at UC Merced today. What is it about these violent attacks on college campuses?

My wife works on a college campus in San Diego. Last week they had to spend an afternoon training for shooting scenario on campus.
It's almost like they expect it to happen at some point, now.

Apparently, for the recent Colorado shooting spree someone called 911 before the incident but the dispatcher said not to worry open carry is fine.

Standoff with gunman ends after five hours | SanDiegoUnionTribune.com


FAA also halted arriving flights for a couple hours due to the proximity to arriving aircraft and the shooter. 30 inbound and outbound cancelled with another 30 diverting to other airports.

Was a domestic violence issue.

Found someone defending Carson and the pyramids:

Not a single person on this thread actually "knows" anything factual about anything about the pyramids. Do some research already. There were thousands built and most torn down. It is widely believed that many were used for protection against invading armies and hiding things like treasure, food and WOMEN from being stolen. The ONLY ones that still exist are the ones that have remains inside them and that is the reason believed they were left. Do some damn research already, all of you sound like sheep just believing what you have been told in school and you are also only concentrating on the ones that are left, not the thousands that have been torn down.

The ignorance, it hurts

That's some next level stupid, right there
