Fergasun Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 "Less than 10 people dead..." 2 is less than 10. 9 is less than 10. Anyone want to bet against me that it is a male under 25 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytoAli Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Man, my dad and sister were going there and had a change of heart last night. They were there earlier and may know some of the people. Edited November 23, 2022 by ClaytoAli 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) And this is why I carry a pistol most places I go (where I legally can obviously), even just short runs to Walmart. *Yes, I am aware this is not a good solution, it's what I do until such time we can actually implement a better solution.
