Hand Guns

So what exactly did this guy do wrong?

We already went over that. He tweeted something inappropriate due to his ignorance of the day's news.

Now, can we go back to you explaining to me where I made racist comments and claimed not to care about Chicago's violence? I'm pretty curious where that came from.

Dumb career move.

You wouldn't understand. You don't have a job.

Yeah I imagine their web developer probably got roasted today.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

It was apparently an automated tweet

The tweet was posted via Hootsuite, an app that lets Web publishers schedule tweets to go out automatically at a later date or time. "Scheduled tweets can be dangerous," wrote @B2BMarketingVP.

From the same article..

It turned out, however, that the tweet was posted by someone who hadn't seen news of the mass shooting.

thread drift.

You fellas have any friction problems?

It's totally screwed up these days and it just keep getting worse. Back when I went to school the worse thing you had to worry about when getting in a fight was catching a tire iron or a baseball bat over your head. A few stitches and you were good to go. You didn't see kids back talking their parents back then like you do today. It was a respect issue and if you screwed up you can be sure you caught an ####### whipping...at home and at school by the teachers who were allowed to beat you with a wooden paddle back then. Kids today are a bunch of basket cases for the most part. Their week.

Well, adults were definitely more proactive when kids screwed up, that part is true, but so were the number of latch-key kids that were expected to manage on their own while the parent(s) were at work. Our high school dean had a paddle in his office, and was just as likely to use it on the students as he was the parents. Yeah, we had all that.

But, the sixties and seventies were not without their tragedies. When was the last time a US President, or a Presidential candidate was assassinated? When was the last time armed groups were running around robbing banks, kidnapping people, and killing judges? Those same folks that were setting bombs in the sixties are now tenured professors at universities across the US.

Yeah, things are a little messed up, but not as bad as it once was. These nostalgic OWS thugs think they are something else, but they are wimps compared to the radicals of the sixties.

Apparently the account itself has been deleted, perhaps the man or woman with it?

Oooh, good catch!

Perhaps.

I was thinking about the automated tweet thing. I suppose it would be particularly useful for rhetoric.

Guns were more freely available 50 years ago and these types of shootings didn't occur with anywhere near the frequency that they do today. Society has changed for the worse.

my dad told me he used to hitchhike to go hunting as a kid. can you imagine some kid hitchhiking nowadays with his .22 to go hunting?

swat teams, news helicopters, and probably a kid getting shot by the police.

You still see it in some of the back country. Problem is, the cities and bedroom communities are eating up all the good hunting areas.

Charles - you can still do that in Texas and Mississippi.

In some parts.

Currently...

You can't even make a joke at the airport anymore - because the bomb team is called. The world has certainly changed.

I not mention any airport. What's up? What are you thinking? Care to elucidate, explain more?

Look, Texas is HUGE. Hunting for Sport is a big deal. There's a coupla million square miles here that are rural, where hunting is not only allowed, but encouraged.

If'n I had to show you a map, I'd point out that the airports are NOT in the hunting zones, are NOT in the rural areas.

Do you hunt ? Did you grow up with hunting? H3ll, for that matter, are you even a Texan ?? No ? Yes??? Aiyo..

Don't forget to make it back to your coffin before sunrise.

Ah, that was bad and I shouldn't have said it.

I do think you should, though, try to get your information from somewhere other than yahoo news. Surely your internet can find CNN, NBS, or even FOX?

I knew about this shooting at 6:30 pm. I always look at the news pages in the morning. It's more efficient than trying to get news from the TV.
