CNN.com is showing live feed from WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh.

The station stopped live coverage at the scene so as to not give the gunmen any information about on-going police activity..

Well, if you just leave the title alone, in a day or two it may come true anyway.

Didn’t 14 die just yesterday in some crazed shootout?

And the details of the Civic Center shooting have been repressed by the MSM.

I did see police carrying four (4) boxes of ammo from the trunk of one police car.

They must be expecting a big shootout..

But knocking us off 3 or 10 at a time doesn't seem too economical.

In a society where you strap bombs to your children, and kill any wives who piss you off, I don't think economy is their first concern.

I am totally not into trusting the news on any shootings recently, where it may be obvious as to intent and actions in some cases I just cannot completely see the real picture here, I feel as if all the internet is going through a supercomputer back and forth subtly changing facts.

What if these events are in some cases people not willing to be arrested such as legal ownership of guns? Were too outspoken against a political agenda? Refused to pay taxes?

Americans that were willing to die instead of being arrested?

Truth will be the first casualty.

“Estimated 80 rounds fired in 20 minutes, probably most from the LEO’s.”

Compare that to the Civic Center shooting.

I used to live in Northeast Philly but worked in North Philly. I refer to it as Filthadelphia. The first time I ever went there with a friend, as we crossed the bridge into the city I asked him if he had farted because it smelled so bad. He laughed and said, “No I didn’t. That’s Philly.” He was right.

This is true. And i'm certainly not ruling it out. It is odd tho that all these random acts of violence have begun to increase in number since Obama "took over".

Do we know any more details yet about the situation? The more we know, the less we have to speculate. Altho, i'm not deluding myself that we'll ever have the whole truth on any of these incidents of violence.

Impossible. Guns are illegal in Philly.

No they aren't. You can even carry in a bar, as long as you are not drinking.
