Cops are using Singray to ping the perp’s cell phone for a location.

I have one that I went to high school with - didn’t know him very well back then - who literally posts pictures of he and his wife daily. Wherever they go, whatever they do, breakfast, lunch, dinner, doctor’s office, supermarket, anything. It’s hysterical!

"Unfortunately the social media route may be healthier than some of the more “traditional” remedies such as alcohol. When I lost my best friend from suicide back in 2007, I drank myself into a 3 day stupor before finally going to an AA meeting to get myself straight."

No doubt you're right. I'm sorry for your loss, rarestia. Glad things are better for you.

I withdraw my earlier comment...correction accepted.

We even set up a family site on FB so all could be notified at one time when my dad passed. Much quicker and easier then phone calling 100 plus people

It’s the bizarre Millennial impulse toward self-disclosure.

The presumption is that not expressing deep emotions in public is suspicious, evidence of a lack of empathy.

It indicates a more porous definition of self and lower social boundaries than what has existed historically.

Such people are easily manipulated. They are more likely to rely on social proof than solid argumentation. They will be shocked when they are mugged by their own gullibility.

Not enough time for that. Police barely had time to get to the scene, much less come up with such a scheme.

Sounds like all they really have on location is cell phone pings?

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. At such a time, you have enough to do without added worries.

.......Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe [who also called for gun control.....]told Northern Virginia radio station WTOP that authorities were pursuing the suspect on I-64.

Mr. McAuliffe said police have both the suspect’s license plate number and a photo of him and are in the process of a pursuit.

“We believe he is a disgruntled employee of the TV station. Unfortunately he probably knew both of the victims,”Mr. McAuliffe said during an interview on WTOP.

Bedford County Public schools are are perimeter lock-down until further notice.

The woman who was being interviewed when the shooting took place was also injured and is now in surgery, CNN reported.....

Wow selfie with the Reporter he killed and her fiancee. My guess he was hitting on her which got him fired.

She was a prominent reporter in Chicago, during the Lisa Stebic murder investigation.

She was fired from her position and became completely radioactive for any tv gigs, following some poor choices with the murder victims husband, during the investigation. Her husband then divorced her.

After Trump gets through with her, she might have a hard time finding a job in fast food.
