That kind of toddler-esque lack of control is one of the reasons we need to have psychological screening for firearm licenses AND to enforce strict anti-gun possession requirements and penalties on those who violate them.

(586 posts)what kind of moron would think it's an acceptable response to start firing a gun over something so trivial? Plus it's not like she was there with her family, she was alone! Can't she simply eat in her car or maybe go to a nearby park?
Even if they don't put her in jail, at the very least she should be required to get some kind of anger management therapy!!

(18,156 posts)Police say it started around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening when a women entered the McDonalds near S.W. 89th and Penn expecting to be able to sit down and eat. Because of COVID-19, employees told the woman that McDonalds dining rooms are still closed.
The suspect refused to leave and a physical altercation ensued between the suspect and an employee. The suspect exited the store briefly, but returned with a handgun. Police say she fired approximately three rounds in the restaurant.
Four employees were injured, and three went to the hospital. One employee was hit in the arm, a second was hit with shrapnel in the neck/shoulder and a third employee was hit with shrapnel in the side. Two of the employees are 16 years old, according to police.
Officials tell KFOR original reports indicated there were two suspects, however, it was later determined there was only one suspect 32-year-old Gloricia Woody.

(586 posts)I live in Tulsa & have lived here most of my life but I also lived in OKC for awhile & I hated it! yes, there are some good people there but it is mostly redneck conservatives! OKC is like a big, spread out small town. They all love their guns too.
Tulsa is a beautiful city & even though we have conservatives here too, It's different from OKC. Tulsa also has more liberal voters than other places in the state. In 2008, Tulsa cast more votes for Obama while much of the rest of the state voted for McCain.

(2,042 posts)There is a Dem congresswoman in okc elected by Democrats. The rep for the Tulsa and metro area is a RWNJ. If Tulsa is so woke wheres their Dem rep?
Also, Clinton and medical marijuana did better in OK County than they did in Tulsa. I get it. I grew up in Tulsa and love it too. But confirmation and location bias are real.
subana
(586 posts)there are a few Tulsa dem reps who serve on the state level. I wasn't saying that we always vote more democratic, I was simply giving one example. We are still in Oklahoma after all & in this state republicans often win.
As you said, I probably am biased since I come from Tulsa & I have lived here for much of my life.
