I’ve never belonged to a union. Are union meetings at 6:30 am typical?

Samuel Cassidy according to local NBC. There was a fire at his home. This may be an exception to Coulter’s Law.

Quite a surprise since the media says that only white people commit mass shootings.....

No matter how this one turns out, data says otherwise...

You were safer on a NYC trolley Car in the 1870s.

San Jose shooting: New info released about suspected VTA rail yard shooter Sam Cassidy

The suspect has been identified by two law enforcement officials as 57-year-old Sam Cassidy, a VTA employee.

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said it was “undetermined” how the shooter died.

Suspected VTA gunman is 57-year-old Samuel J. Cassidy. Fire set at his Angmar Ct. home before gunfire started at union meeting. Payroll records show he made $160k in base, OT and other pay as VTA “substation maintainer”. Two family law cases: domestic violence and divorce.

The gunman who killed eight people at a San Jose rail yard was an employee who apparently set his own home on fire before the bloodbath, authorities said. Samuel J. Cassidy, 57, worked for the Valley Transportation Authority; he reportedly took his own life after the shooting. His father, 88-year-old James Edward Cassidy, told The Daily Beast that his son “seemed completely himself” in recent days and didn’t appear to be holding a grudge. “He didn’t talk about his job or politics. I just found out he was dead and his house on fire and all that a minute ago,” he said.

Not sure about Union meetings, but 06:30 is likely between night shift and day shift making the reach likely increased.

Coulter’s Law of Screeching Harpy?

One of my female in laws was an RN all of her adult life.

She told her nephews and other young male relatives, to never marry a skinny/self/starving woman. I will leave out her very descriptive words describing skinny/self/starving women

I never heard of that law, either; but it’s dead nuts accurate. What ever became of Ms. Coulter, anyway?

Probably!

Union pay with Railroads, if they can stay open, has been incredible for at least 6 decades.

That's such a good thing.   You never had to habit restrooms at the bus station in a sad attempt to get your self respect back.
