Not a retail “strip mall.” A “business mall”.

KPTV now saying 2 dead; one man and one woman. Plus 2 more injured. Not sure if one of the dead includes the shooter.

Did your Mama make you an ass, or did you learn that on your own?

Just pointing it out because of the possibility (remote, I agree) that it could be leading to something bigger tomorrow.

Police are taking statements from dozens of witnesses. Shortly after the incident, one woman ran from the scene covered in blood.

At a nearby Subway restaurant, Mike McNeel tended to the woman who he said was not shot but injured by broken glass. McNeel said the woman told him a man started shooting at a medical clinic.

Bob Murtha and Kyle Stone passed near the scene at about 11:40 a.m. when they said they heard multiple gun shots, “We hear five or six shots,” Murtha said.

We’ll probably hear about how the perp didn’t have health insurance and snapped under the pressure.

Or maybe somebody keyed his car.

people are losing it because people feel they no linger are worth anything plus the public is being ignored right now.

Stated very similarly, to quote Gerald Celente who predicted many of the economic perils that have happened in the last couple of years, "When people lose everything, and they have nothing left to lose, they lose it."

It’s a rough time to be a fed or a propagandist. And it’s only going to get worse.

Bit of advice: Don’t be a fed.

Ptarmigan is a grouse that is related to chicken. Ptarmigan has feathery feet, hence the name Lagopus, which means "rabbit foot". Rabbits persecute ptarmigans.

I guess Newgeezer didn’t get it that you were talking about Veterans Day. Not that there is anything inherently ominous about veterans day but... 11/11/09 in the US America is equivalent to 11/11/09 in the Europe.

Theenk about it, man.

believe me I have never even thought of it

[Carling]

Blame the media reports, and it is actually in a commercial/retail area, and it is in a “strip mall”.

I live in more of a rural- surburban area of St Augustine but I bet there has in the nearest city to me Jacksonville

“When people lose everything, and they have nothing left to lose, they lose it.”

This used to be called “going postal”.

Now, with the Pelosi bill, it will be called “going health services”.

Well the name has to be Smith, Martin, etc

Bush's fault btw
