Texas gunman opens fire during church service, shoots 2 people before being fatally shot by 'heroic' parishioners, police say

The shooter got off two rounds. Four parishioners drew down on him. According to police, two fired on him. In the video I only see one return fire but that shot ended him. Had the parishioners not been armed as our betters prefer, how many in that church would have died before the police arrived

Walter Williams: Gun rights endangered in Virginia

Virginia Democratic Gov.

Jon Sable Freelance #34,p. 26 $27, by Mike Grell.
I'm not sure this is the case with all of Mike Grell's comic work, but my understanding is he would draw the page in pencil the ink over the pencils on mylar. I have the pencils and inks for two Batman pages where he did this. This is a two page spread done in ink on mylar. The pencils are in someone else's collection somewhere out there. The nice thing about eBay is those special opportunities sometimes appear where you get damn good art at affordable prices. This was a hell of a deal and the upside is I got a Jon Sable page for my collection.

Little Orphan Annie by Alan Kupperberg. Kupperberg was one of those artists I never really cared for. Mostly I remember his art in fill-in issues of various DC and Marvel comics. So, I was surprised how much I liked these pieces when I saw them on eBay.

We have here the inks and pencils for this piece. Kupperberg drew this page in pencil then scanned it and printed out a blue line copy of the page and inked it. This has become common practice in the comic industry. If you screw up your inks on the copy you have only to print another and start over. I guess Grell's mylar was for much the same reason.

I Approve This Message

“The scariest thing about the whole shootout what that cops thought it was a good idea to take cover behind civilian vehicles with people still in them, trying to get out of the line of fire. What cop comes up with the idea ‘I’m going hide behind this soccer mom in her van’. Who the fuck trained these guys, Hamas or Hezbollah?”

“Yeah, the more I think about that shooting the angrier I get. That could have been me or my wife or daughter in the car on the Miramar Parkway. Just sitting in rush hour traffic when Floridaman McBadgeholder decides to use your kid as a fucking meat-shield when he lets loose with his Gold Dot bukkake.”

I have quite a few problems with the Mirimar shoot out, but this pretty much sums up the biggest.

So spend a hundred million dollars trying to buy the Presidency. Go ahead. Piss it away. You have it to spare.

Black Friday

In my family, I've always been the one tasked with venturing out on Black Friday or what I call Brown Thursday. I was at Wal-Mart by 4:30 p.m. and had almost everything I wanted in the basket by 5:00 p.m.. No big ticket items. Had to wait for one thing until 6:00 p.m. and was out of the store by 6:10 p.m.. There was a quick run to Target for two Blue-rays and I was done. Apparently there was a bomb threat at Target and another Wal-Mart but I can't say it really slowed anything down. Dogs had it cleared by 6:30 p. m.. Obviously, no explosions. I have noticed the crowds aren't what they used to be. Much more pleasant than it used to be. Most people, I suspect, are taking advantage of online sales. At this point I'm not even sure what advantage there is to Black Friday sales.

Weathering with You

AND I can't wait to see it in a theater.

Just Saying...

At the age of eighteen you are considered an adult with all the responsibilities that go with it but not the privileges. You can't buy alcohol. You can't purchase a handgun. You can buy cigarettes but soon you won't be able to buy vaping products. You can serve your country in the military. Here's an idea. If you aren't old enough to make decisions that any adult over the age of twenty-one can make: drinking, vaping, owning a gun. Then why should you be able vote and make decisions that effect the nation as a whole?

Trump proposes raising minimum vaping age to 21

You want to do it for the children? They're not goddamn children and the people who want to treat them as such need to get the hell out of public life and run a daycare.
