    Ron, don't you have wifi at work, so you can get online w/ your phone?


    Oh no, not at all.  Actually cell phones are only permitted in the building that I work in.  The main building has lockers to lock it in as you enter the building. Classified environment and all.

    In this building there is absolutely zero data connection.

    If the zombies come, they are not getting into this building, but we are not getting out either

    so, when did it become "child neglect" for your kids to walk to school unattended???
    my parents bought me a rain coat to wear when it was storming on the 1 mile walk to 1st grade. It was my favorite time of day, the only time during the day when I could have some peace and quiet.

    The bill redefines child neglect to exclude children of “sufficient age” walking to and from school, parks and shops.

    "Be home before the streetlights come on", was it "beat the lamplighter home" for you?  :D

    I walked ( Or rode bikes ) to school from 1st grade till 6th. It was a half mile or so each way. There was a group of us, the same guys I hung out with after we got home.

    I always walked to school, no matter the distance or weather. Actually looked forward to it, there was always something "to get into". I remember making friends with a little "sells a little of everything" kind of store, and picking up some change delivering to older folks on the way home. We were never worried, even when bad news happened. Made more friends from walking then in the classrooms. Learned how to interact with dogs and smile at the people I saw/met, and they smiled back.
    Knew a lot of cops from Police Boys Club and on more than one occasion would give me a ride home from boxing club if it was late, after the 1st time he learned to call ahead.

    Of course drugs were not rampant, and everyone looked out for everyone else.
    Woe be on you if you messed with a kid, even when it was not your kid.

    How sad is it that states now have to pass laws allowing parents to do what has been done for centuries. Allow their kids to walk to the park, school or the store without guidance.

    Some of these memes are just so funny I can't resist them:

    Every single point is covered, at least that I can think of. And a bunch I didn't know or think about.

    I've not come across this guy, but he does make some valid points.  It looks like the narrative from all the students seems to be coordinated.  As someone mentioned, they moved the issue from school safety and the failure of the mental health system to gun control.

    Darn. I tuned into this report when it had 46 people in the comments section. It went to 3000 in the blink of an eye, never seen anything like it. Someone posted it is an April fools joke, can only wish. If the caravan is true it will not end well, there ain't enough buses to send them to calalafornia.

    That paragraph that start with i was a combat crew is BS. There is no Colt 40 and no oakleaf clusters for marksmanship, you only wear your last qualification. Military service he did not perform. It was Parkland Florida not Parkview  the rest does make one think 
    But seems satire mixed with fact

    The Colt Defender is a 40 cal. 
    But it isn't what would be considered a common gun and I can't see anyone qualifying with one. 
    I could be wrong though.

    And last I knew, markmanship was a badge? Leastwise, pretty sure Marines still use badges. And unless things have changed alot, there was pistol, sharpshooter, marksman and expert. Not specific to any pistol or rifle in each class. Well, different classes for different things, I guess.  
    At least 30 years ago, I recall.

    What?  That's not possible.  They're not allowed to own guns!  How could this be?  What would the Parkland teens say?

    Over the weekend, Hudson's Bay (OTCPK:HBAYF) confirmed a security breach of customer card data at its Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Off 5th and Lord & Taylor high-end retail chains. Cybersecurity firm Gemini Advisory puts the number of exposed accounts at over five million and says that some 125,000 of these have been released for sale on the "dark web" thus far, with the entire haul expected to be released over the coming months.
