[I waited 45 seconds and actually posted something substantial--Ed.]
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.
Hope not, but that's exactly the opposite of what I said. : )
FOX NEWS ~~~PD Now Thinks That Both Shootings Are Related~~~
Exactly what I was and am concerned about, still. I open my mouth plenty, and have earned a great deal of respect from my professors, despite that fact, lol. However, I know just how far to push, and I cannot risk getting blackballed or failed because I do not agree with their agenda(s). I will take my fight to them, at some future time, when there is a level playing field, not when I am at their mercy for a passing grade, so required for me to begin my career (and pay back my loans).
The overall acceptance of the outrageous as commonplace continues to grow and defy comprehension. Has our society or our race...as in so-called HUMAN race....become so decadent and completely devoid of common sense and decency, forget sense of sanctity, that this stuff becomes as "normal" as....well, as metal detectors in school. < /sarcasm >
hmmmm. I think Quix said someone in the church told him so, earlier, as well.
Could be more to follow at that site (pending notification of family), cuz whoever is running that blog is on top of the news about this.
PRIMARILY
because folks have
ARBITRARILY
decided to respond to it with annoyance.
They JUST AS EASILY
COULD
respond to it as a welcome thing for folks with aging eyes . . . who’s screens are 3 feet from their eyes . . .
There are a myriad of POSITIVE responses JUST AS possible as annoyance . . . by choice.
The caps do not assault anyone’s eyes.
The caps do not assault anyone’s ears.
The caps are merely symbols on a screen.
The ANNOYANCE is imputed to them by THE READER.
You write, “This is Colorado Springs after all.” I don’t understand what you mean by that. Can you explain?
Hiya sweets!
No, I cannot believe this. People who are attending church, minding their own business, being gunned down. It’s absolutely tragic. I don’t understand this society we live in. It’s not the place we grew up in, and that’s not even that long ago. (It was bad enough then, but it’s absolutely become a hell now.)
It was reported on the local news here in Colorado Springs that the gunman’s body is still inside the church where it was dropped and that they haven’t approached it yet because it may be rigged with a device.
Perhaps. But setting to a larger font can accomplish the same thing. I just find it much more difficult to read all caps. I meant no personal offense.
~ping to snippet~
As authorities searched for answers to two crimes that defied explanation, perhaps nothing illustrated just how bizarre the day was than a plea issued by Arvada Police Chief Don Wick.
All faith-based communities, he said, should be on the lookout for trouble.

Could you provide that link? I live very close to New Life, and know a number of those who attend. Thanks.
Just a FWIW,,,Still lookin’ for “Big~Foot”n”Moon~Men”...;0)
Godwin’s Law was just a lame concoction of thin-skinned net idiots too... apparently.
Local Denver news now reporting that Arvada police are traveling to Colorado Springs, so it seems a connection may be more likely.
Also, a search warrant seemingly related to the shootings has been served to a home in unincorporated Arapahoe county (near Denver).
ALL CAPS is absolutely an assault on the eyes. Increase your font size, bold your highlights, or alter the color, but don't make the rest of us suffer your desire to emphasize with shouting caps.
Takes a little time to sanitize Acmed or Mohammed to make them more pallatable to general audiences?
Sorry, I misunderstood. The victims listed are from Arvada, not from Colorado Springs....
