Because there is light in darkness and if just one person becomes willing to look at the evidence presented instead of rejecting it based on alignment with their priors then it's worth it.

Kind of hard to progress when your interlocutor has no theory of mind.

I never thought I'd say it but.... Simple Schoolboy gets it

Opaque as expected. I can only assume, then. In which case, I was always right about you. You and Burt deserve each other.

Multiple People Fatally Shot at a Walmart in Virginia
Gotta be a record for mass media dropping coverage of a shooting of this magnitude.

The reporting on the Colorado Springs thing has been really weird. Maybe the DAs department is prohibited from commenting on dropped charges and the cops are fine with things being ambiguous.
Based on the language used (and charges being dropped) along with the shooter's online notoriety, the claims presented could be consistent with this dude getting SWAT'ed in 2021. It's hard to imagine a legit bomb threat resulting in no consequences, but it also hard to understand why the police department wouldn't clarify if that's what happened.

what part of this poster indicates that trouble was inevitable here?
Yeah WTF mac?
Based on the poster, I assume this is one of those Airbnb house parties which are certain to annoy the neighbors and generally be a bad idea, but not necessarily descend into violence.
Those short term rental companies just do not give an F.
Probably safer in general to go to a downtown nightclub with proper security and a faster police response time to one of these things, but it's probably hard to sus out the number of incidents per 100,000 guests for either conventional night clubs or pop-up house parties with a door charge.

Apparently they found no bomb . But still no clarification on why the record was "sealed"

Yes, but sometimes records are sealed anytime charges are dropped. Not sure what makes any sense here. Very strange coverage, someone in Colorado Springs knows what happened but won't or can't explain what happened in 2021.

I watched a lot of the news coverage. Apparently the kid changed his name to avoid connection to his dad, who is a ",porn star" . The dad thought the kid was dead for 6 years apparently, it's so messed up
Also I believe it's sus that's he's pronouning with they,/them although I could be wrong .
