Active Shooter At Brown University

[leftwinger]

I should be thread banning people right now for all of the off topic after my warning, but I'm hoping against hope that we can all revert into acting like adults here.

And, I cannot ban specific words or phrases.

That is all.

Thank you for not. Sometimes its a reply to out of bounds post. Borderline. No harm intended by mostly honorable posters like me.

Ain't Rhode Island one of those no-gun states? How can this possibly happen there?

So Trump gets his news from Wikipedia?

No. I'm saying he most likely repeated the initial alert sent out by the Brown University Department of Public Safety. They were the ones who first reported the subject being in custody.

The Wikipedia page about the shooting doesn't even mention him saying that now. They deleted it.

You don’t think maybe he should be waiting before he makes this about him? The police clearly contradicted him. It adds confusion. Hope he doesn’t get anyone killed.

Call a mod please. "Makes it about him" are you on widowpane?

I just posted the mayor confirming no one was in custody. Trump admin is a bush league failure.

Latest:

Smiley and other Providence officials provided limited information about the suspect in their first press briefing:

• Described suspect as a man dressed in black
• Don’t know how suspect got into the Barus & Holley engineering building
• Said he left the building on Hope Street, and are unsure where he went from there
• Authorities don’t have an image of the suspect at this time
• Authorities are working on getting video footage from the Hope Street area
• Authorities believe there is only one shooting suspect

What the blue **** does Trump have to do with a shooting in RI?

You constantly try to derail threads with your BS.

From 4 hours ago?

If you look at the chyron on Fox News, they have changed the phrasing to "At least two people killed," which suggests the death toll could go up.

I did, the ball is in your court.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

don't worry, the posters here will speculate wildly about his race/sexual orientation/political affiliation long before any facts are released

It’s called inductive reasoning. Perfectly logical.

Trump tweeting out the shooter is in custody when he isn’t is relevant to the thread.

Trump tweeting out the shooter is in custody when he isn’t is relevant to the thread.

While misguided, the tweet is addressing the subject. Can't do anything about that.

I NEVER agree with you. EVER.
But this time I do.

Are you insane in the membrane or something? Have you never heard of the internet wayback machine?

Look at the difference in these two Wikipedia entries:

3:05PM CST - "Prior to the first briefing, an initial alert from the Brown University Department of Public Safety reported that a suspect was in custody, but a correction was made twenty minutes later stating that no suspects were in custody. President Donald Trump repeated the initial mistaken report followed by its correction on Truth Social."

8:20 PM CST - Prior to the first briefing, an initial alert from the Brown University Department of Public Safety reported that a suspect was in custody, but a correction was made twenty minutes later stating that no suspects were in custody."
