Wrong door shootings.

Texas shooting, five dead, shooter on the run. Apparently started when the victims asked the shooter to stop playing with his new toy, an AR-15 clone. So he shot them.....

Part of me does not cry when mass shootings with AWs take place in states with proudly loose gun laws.

Yeah! Dead people don't matter as long as you can score some socio-political points.

The article is from a NZ newspaper, which is on the other side of the intl date line.

sometimes things become obvious once they are pointed out; thank you.

Not only that but it can still be Tuesday in California when it's Wednesday in New York, and Hawaii is even further behind.

You think that's bad? On Mars it's still 1973!

That's not a problem. There are no reported shootings on Mars and I believe the number of guns there is also quite low.

That's what they want you to think! NASA IS ARMING THE MARTIAN ANTIFA!!! FIGHT BACK AND MAKE MARS GREAT AGAIN!!!

Okay seriously though, the rovers don't have guns? What if a stranger knocks on their door? They're just sitting ducks.

In certain parts of North Somerset it's still 1873.

No shootings? Green Martians shoot down Red Martians if they even fly over their ruined cities. Why do you think Barsoom is red?

They don't have doors either, so they should be ok.

But they are American rovers and there is more than one up there. Tick tock baby.

Of course. I didn't think of that. They are most likely armed and are likely to shoot each other.

Thank you. As an American, that makes me feel better about the whole situation.

[I Am The Scum]

Near miss from (oddly enough) the founder of a weather-reporting page on Facebook

So she turned to iWeatherNet, a Facebook page and website that posts regular updates about Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta-area weather for a loyal following. The website lists a number of contributors as part of its team, but founder Chris Robbins appears to run the entire Facebook account, with more than 115,000 followers, and posts frequently.

Lately, Seeley's once reliable weather resource has turned into something completely unsettling.

This week, Robbins wrote in a Facebook post that has since been deleted, "A child just rang my doorbell. Folks you do NOT ring doorbells in 2023. My 6 was loaded," he said, referencing a gun. "Keep your kids away."

...

Later on, Robbins wrote in a separate update, "Folks, it is a bad idea to allow your kids to go around ringing doorbells in 2023. Read the news. Stop it."

His follow-up post went on to say that the girl had been looking for her lost kitten and that Robbins warned her that he "might pull her hair" if she rang his doorbell again. He ended with, "Others out there will cause harm. Please teach your kids to stay away from doorbells."

Robbins has since attempted to write it off as a joke.

Damn. Autocorrect must have got me on Marvin, but I can hear him saying 32 in my head. I checked though, and you are right
