This is one of the most disturbing things I've had to report, since said shooter (a disgruntled employee of the station named Vester Lee Flanagan AKA Bryce Williams) had a body cam on him and posted the footage on facebook and twitter.So they didn't die?
Good news, the people in the report that were being interviewed are in the hosipital but will recover.
That is oddly worded isn't it? What I ment to say was the people they were interviewing, who were in the way when the shooter shot them, are ok. Miss. Parker and Mr. Ward died almost right away. At lest they caught the dude who did it. Now we wait to see what becomes of him.

Didn't make the international CNNs or the FOXes, but this absolute mess of a transit system welcomed commuters here yesterday. Good thing I walk to work...
Background - The municipality diverted many bus routes and closed stations in order to build a light rail train for commuters (opening in 2018). The problem is, there's this one station just South of downtown where pretty much every bus that goes southbound or eastbound goes. This station is bizzarly designed, with buses going round a kind of central area, coming and going like a giant roundabout, stopping and starting to let off and pick up everyone who wants to change bus. For some reason, they didn't predict the mayhem, and people ended up spending two more hours than usual getting to where they wanted to go as a thousand-bus girouette surprisingly couldn't actually cope with a million buses at once. A shambles.

So apparently, this bitch just got released from prison. America never ceases to amaze me how low it can go.

Eh, I think its for the better honestly. Was she in the wrong? Yes. Yet, it was a big enough issue with need of clarification that the nation, if not the world's been poking her with a stick since. Do I think she's a good person? No, but that isn't for me to decide.

It was wrong of her to do that, but hell. People would publish anything and call it 'news' these days.

She was in the wrong and did not need to do what she did. Was she in the right to have an opinion? yes, but if she thought it was wrong, she should have resigned from her job.
And just because I find the story funny: Red Ranger arrested in Tampa.
RE: World News - Psychospacecow - 09-11-2015
Never said she was doing the right thing here. I figure its best to let things be. Decision has been made, clarifications and all that taken care of. Time to move on.

University of Tennessee stadium has set the record for the most decibels during a college football game Saturday in their home opener, a double overtime loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.
RE: World News - Psychospacecow - 09-15-2015
Shame about the stabbings. That decibel thing is cool though. Got a source on that?
