Dayton Shooter Had Drugs, Alcohol in His System, Hit by ‘At Least’ 24 Rounds Fired By Police


If police needed 24 rounds to stop this guy, I don't think limiting me to 10 rounds in a magazine is a good idea.

I recall seeing somewhere else a comment similar to that: "If professional police need that many rounds to stop one guy, shouldn't my wife have access to 30 round magazines?"
"I'm a foolish old man that has been drawn into a wild goose chase by a harpy in trousers and a nincompoop."

Pretty sure that was the Kentucky Representative mentioned earlier in this thread.

I don't know if any of you are in Kentucky and can vote for this guy.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Report: Sibling Killed in Dayton Shooting Was Trans Man Jordan Cofer

Not sure if this any bearing on the shooter or not.  Just new information I heard this morning.

History of mental illness in the family has bearing.

Terrible reporting.

Quote
Splinter writer Katelyn Burns concluded that Cofer was likely not targeted for his gender identity because he was not out to many, including his family. But Cofer, 22, used male pronouns and identified as trans, according to friends of his who spoke to Burns.

Does this mean that she/he had, or had not, "come out" to her/his family?

Leading to:

Quote
Gillian Branstetter, media relations manager for the National Center for Transgender Equality, said it was important for journalists and police to speak to murder victims' friends and family members so the deceased are identified properly and not misgendered or dead-named.

And if the deceased had not "come out" to his/her/its family and the family provide the journalist(s) with the deceased's birth name and gender ... then what? At the church my late wife and I attended, there was a rather large person who attended church as a woman. I was informed by someone who had been in the church longer than we had that this person was a male, and Monday through Friday went to work as a male, wearing male clothing and answering to a male name. When that person dies, how should he/she be identified? If the male name is used, professional colleagues will recognize him but many members of the church may not. If the female name is used, members of the church will recognize "her" but colleagues will not.

OBIT:

Jack/Jill Smith

A rather portly man during the week who indulged his desires to be something different on the weekends when he became Jill, a rather homely woman........
