Okay, the way I’m reading this is that he applied for and got his license to carry without the fingerprint check (which was not required). Had it been required, he would have been unable to purchase the gun, because it would have returned a hit because of the 1995 felony conviction.

The concern that the shooters know the protocol is exactly why more and more schools are changing the protocol to prevent students from becoming sitting ducks waiting quietly in their classrooms to be shot. The shooters know the protocol, and know how to work around it - it’s exactly what the Parkland shooter did.

Absolutely yes, they do. There was a bunch of noise made after Parkland by people who were pissed because a teacher refused to open his door after the lockdown initiated BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRAINED TO DO. Once the door is shut and locked, we are under strict instructions to not open it under any circumstances,…

The post mentions that he’s blind. Apparently, someone beat the shit out of him in 2006 and it left him permanently blind. (I wonder why anyone would ever want to beat the shit out of him???) Not that anyone should feel sorry for him, but to clarify that the eyes are not in fact the result of demonic possession. That…

Run it on a 10 minute delay with a crawl at the bottom fact checking every word he says. Problem solved.

She was a student at the U of C Lab School for first grade and the start of second. She may have considered U of C, but I doubt that her first grade experience had much to do with it.

I love how his “corrected” tweet retains the random capitalization.

I used to go post holiday shopping with my sister-in-law, so I was there one year after the holidays when she bought a set of beaded tulle coasters (for drinks) on super-post holiday clearance. They were less than 5 dollars, for sure. I clearly remember because I remember wondering, who the fuck would want to use…

I have one!

My favorite from the list of excommunicable offenses, from the Third Lateran Council (1179):

I just want to comment and say that unregistered Illinois residents can register and cast provisional ballots on the day of the election. If you miss the deadline next week, YOU CAN STILL VOTE IN ILLINOIS. (-signed, an Illinois Voter Registrar)

To be fair, it appears that both the church pastor and the school reported to CPS (which they were obligated to do by law). The letter from the teacher to the principal isn’t in the school files, but I believe it is in the files from the police investigation. People did investigate, but it seems that because he never…

Hold up. Becky is claiming to be drunk in her DM to the owner, and is definitely acting like she’s under the influence in the video. WTF time is it that Becky is already so deep in her cups that whatever questionable morals she has have been suspended and she’s and feeling the need to abscond with other people’s shit?…

Side note: This Harold Crews guy got around that day. Crews is the exact same idiot who accused DeAndre Harris of “attacking” him with a flashlight moments before Harris was attacked and beaten by a mob of white supremacists. The charges against Harris were ultimately dismissed, but Crews is the reason he was arrested…

Somebody wants attention.

I had an ablation for irregular bleeding (not fibroids) after I was done having kids. My doc did it outpatient with oral pain meds. It hurt, but it wasn’t intolerable, and then it was over. I haven’t bled since. It’s a little weird to be asked my LMP every time I go to the doctor and have to tell them 2012, but it’s…

WTF is a “breakfast smoothie bowl”? Is it a smoothie that she’s drinking out of bowl? If so, why would you do that when you have perfectly good drinking vessels? Or is it just basically a bowl of chopped fruit with some chia seeds sprinkled on top? If so, why call it a smoothie? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REPLICATE EVERY…

They aren’t. The two are just under 4 miles apart, actually. Not convenient enough to walk - Sheridan Road is a bitch that far north and both are right on the lake so it gets blustery - but Loyola is definitely closer to Northwestern than say, DePaul or UIC, and miiiiiiiles closer than the University of Chicago.…

Not only shitty maintenance, but I don’t see anyone in any of these videos who looks even remotely like an employee of this resort. No lifties, no ski patrol, nothing. I’ve skied a lot, and I can’t remember the last time I was on a lift - even a mid-mountain loader like this one appears to be - where there weren’t at…

Active shooter drills (sometimes called lockdown drills) are performed in every school in America, and have been for several years.
