1. Update

[leftieNanner]

11. I checked on Stedman's Twitter Thread

And he is now reporting from the police scanner - 6 dead.

[hlthe2b]

16. Yes, but he rightfully points out the scanner traffic is unconfirmed (and is often wrong)

Link to tweet

Let's hope it is wrong.

[malaise]

70. Press conference coming up

will be on CNN

[BradAllison]

15. Take him to Burger King

Mustabeen a bad day.

[Treefrog]

25. Really not a funny joke at all. If this is true and people are dead, does a joke somehow make you

feel clever? I don’t get it. Smh.

[Wingus Dingus]

30. Reference to Dylan Roof (police fed him Burger King) and

the Atlanta shooter last week (had a bad day, according to police spokesperson). The poster is just using sarcasm I believe.

[Beartracks]

36. And, the way I read it, it was sarcasm to express disgust, not to elicit a laugh. n/t

[Wingus Dingus]

37. Yes, same.

[BradAllison]

48. Thank you

My frustration with this shit leaves me cynical and pissed.

[Treefrog]

47. Yes, I understood it completely, which is why I considered it in the worst of taste and not funny.

Using two tragedies where innocents died to feel clever seems to me to be extremely tone deaf. Just my opinion of course. Thanks so much for the explanation though.

[msfiddlestix]

67. cops took Roof to burger king after apprehending him? wow.

I wonder if this is standard procedure in Atlanta?

[leftieNanner]

2. My Daughter in Boulder just texted us

She is working in a card-access campus building and staying put until they get the all clear.

Damn. Scary.

[Nevilledog]

5. Looks like shooter's in custody

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Shit! This is almost common enough to be not news.

[regnaD kciN]

18. Positive sign that we're getting over COVID!

Mass shooters don't have to quarantine anymore. Back to normal!

[hlthe2b]

4. Oh, damn... it is the one on Table Mesa. Just in there last week. Police using armored vehicle-yikes

Here's the Denver Post first take on it:
https://www.denverpost.com/2021/03/22/police-active-shooter-shooting-king-soopers-boulder/
The Boulder Police Department is warning people to stay away from the King Soopers store at 3600 Table Mesa Drive because of an active shooter at the store.

Department officials tweeted the warning at 2:49 p.m. Monday. A public information officer was on their way to the scene. Further information was not immediately provided.

The King Soopers store anchors a large shopping center in the southern part of Boulder, a few blocks from Fairview High School. The Boulder Valley School District is on spring break this week. District spokeswoman Randy Barber said to his knowledge no students or staff were in any of the buildings near the King Soopers on Monday.

A YouTube user has been livestreaming from the scene since roughly 2:30 p.m. His video shows what appear to be shooting victims, and police approaching the front of the badly damaged store in an armored vehicle. He claims he is still hearing gunshots from within the store while taking cover in the parking lot.

[vercetti2021]

6. He was having a bad day right?

Motherfuckers are back at it with mass shootings

[Nevilledog]

8. He's white, so....

[SledDriver]

14. "Alive and in custody."

[EYESORE 9001]

7. ' Suspect is a middle-aged white male...'

Funny, I had that suspicion about the suspect before I even opened this thread.

[bdamomma]

75. was he

wearing a red cap??

[EYESORE 9001]

76. In my imagination, he was

Neckbeard and pus gut too.

[bdamomma]

78. was the

shooter that guy stripped down that the police had in handcuffs??

[jcmaine72]

91. This post didn't age well.

And the RW'ers are now saying the same thing about Muslims.

Will we ever live in a society where we don't make assumptions like these following a tragedy? I doubt it.

[HipChick]

9. So looks like America is getting back to normal..

[regnaD kciN]

20. And we can get back to the normal reaction, too...

[JI7]

46. Shootings happened during the last for years also but just didn't get much attention

becsuse everything was about Trump.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

10. I suppose someone told him he had to wear a mask? (nt)

[Nevilledog]

12. Update - 6 dead.

[Demovictory9]

13. omg

[IcyPeas]

21. Has this been confirmed yet? Not on the tv news.

[hlthe2b]

24. No. Heard on police scanners (which can be wrong)

[Treefrog]

28. I just got in and have seen nothing on CNN, which I just turned on.

17. 10 quid says Lil' Gunny Boebert soon tweets saying 'a good guy with a gun would have stopped it'

shootout in aisle 4

[hlthe2b]

19. You mean the wicked witch of the West (no offense to witches intended, but....)

[Nevilledog]

22. My personal fave for Boebert nickname is Meth Muppet

[mac56]

31. Q-Bert

[Progressive Jones]

80. LOL !! nt

[Progressive Jones]

81. I call her Boe Boe Q. nt

[gldstwmn]

82. That's exactly what she is going to say.

We don't open carry here but I'm sure she'll use this to say we should.

23. pic of Boulder shooter

[Nevilledog]

26. Why is his leg red like that?

Doesn't seem likely he would be evenly covered with a thin layer of blood just on one leg.

[Wingus Dingus]

38. Yeah, very weird.

[Nevilledog]

52. Looks like it is blood

Link to tweet

[raccoon]

89. Good. At least he got shot. Nt

[NutmegYankee]

53. Probably pants was soaked in it.

I'm sure he didn't walk into the store dressed like that.

[Nevilledog]

55. I posted video above.....it is blood

[NutmegYankee]

69. Uh yeah, I know.

hence me mentioning that his pants leg was probably soaked in it, causing the covering of the leg like that.

[torius]

56. Maybe from removing a tourniquet?

Lime if the cops shot him, tied the leg to stem bleeding then removed the ties

https://www.consultant360.com/articles/distal-petechiae-after-tourniquet-use

[HipChick]

27. Still alive

6 dead

[IcyPeas]

29. One very tanned leg and one white leg? In both pix.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

44. Odd. Maybe he was having a very bad day w/a self tanner & decided to go kill people.

We can't have those white male murdering snowflakes have a bad day. This is in reference to: Cherokee County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Jay "racist" Baker saying that Tuesday "was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did." (about mass murderer Robert Aaron Long - Atlanta area spa murders)

[gldstwmn]

84. If that's him he has an accomplice.

Reverse 911 calls went out after this telling people to shelter in place.

[malaise]

32. Watching on CNN

Thanks

Ha CNN

[IcyPeas]

33. On CNN now

[Treefrog]

35. Yes, I just saw it come on CNN right now. Seems to be mass confusion at this point.

[lindalou65]

34. 9 News Denver on scene

Lots of police, first responder and fire presence-multiple agencies. They have not reported any fatalities yet (at least not that I have heard). Scary--I used to live in that area and shop at that grocery store.

[ananda]

40. Multiple victims. At least 6 dead. White shooter caught.

Sound familiar?

[IcyPeas]

42. Already doxxed. Don't know if it's confirmed

[sheshe2]

50. Just turned on CNN.

They are talking about an active shooter and no mention of dead.

[metalbot]

73. I don't know if it's officially confirmed

But if you compare the mug shot photos to the footage of the arrest, especially given location and history, it's highly likely that it's him.

[joshcryer]

79. Can you message me the name?

Been searching for it. Their socials will be wiped quickly before they release it officially, and I like to archive it before it gets wiped.

[maxsolomon]

43. Covid really tamped all these Rampage Shootings down.

But as soon as a Dem's in the White House, White Men start going off again.

[Treefrog]

45. Can anyone explain to me how they get that many cops in full battle gear there that fast?

Are there groups of these guys all dressed up waiting for an incident? Wouldn’t it take forever to get dressed like that with all that gear? Are they in some place like firefighters ready to roll all geared up?

[Progressive Jones]

58. This is what I know about that.

My neighbor is a cop in our town. He's a regular patrol officer, but he's also part of a county wide SWAT unit.
He told me that he has his gear with him at all times; in his squad car, and in his personal vehicle.
If he gets "The Call", so to speak, he's on his way to the situation.

I guess that's how it's done.

[Treefrog]

71. Damn, takes me half the morning if I really need to be dressed for something.

Winter annoys me simply because of all the extra clothes. I just can imagine how long it would take me to fasten all that equipment on. Just tying the boots would take forever!

[ProfessorGAC]

77. The Primary Response Team...

...that shows up in the tactical truck, gear up in the truck.
They train for that every shift, whether they are needed or not.
My wife & I were friends with a police captain from the town of 160,000 where we grew up.
He was tac team for a few years as a lieutenant.
This was the guy who spent 40 years on the force, and drew his gun one time.
His training did not include everybody being the enemy.
He explained a lot of cop stuff to us.
He spent a few years in Internal Affairs, Tac, Gang Task Force, & ended his career as community liaison officer.
He pretty much knew how everything worked.

[Progressive Jones]

88. Yeah, they "war game" all kinds of situations near where I live. Tanks, choppers, shields, etc.

[metalbot]

74. Well, this wasn't really that fast

The large number of officers didn't enter the supermarket until nearly 50 minutes after the shooting. A small group of first responders entered early, which is how the police officer was killed (and he was likely not fully armored).

[Nevilledog]

51. Even better: Some MAGA responses to the shooting in Colorado.

54. This'll be fox news take on it. Or Ron johnson.

[maxsolomon]

59. Dipshits. There were plenty during Trump's era.

Just not since Covid made everyone stay home.

[Yavin4]

65. There was the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that killed 17 people in Feb. 2018

The MGM Las Vegas shooting in October 17, 2017 that killed 60 people.

The The Sutherland Springs church shooting that killed 26 people in November 2017.

The WalMart in El Paso shooting that killed 23 people on August 3, 2019.


Those are the ones that I can think of. There are probably others.

[malaise]

83. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Selective memory at work


This is going to be be bad - the delayed press conference is telling

[NutmegYankee]

86. Yeah, that bothers me too.

[malaise]

87. What bothers me more is why DUers repost this crap

and allow the misinformation to be viewed by more people

[robbob]

68. Not to mention...

how many of these maniacs will turn out to be tRump jumpers out for blood with a misplaced sense of grievance over the last election? So their logic is basically “hey, there were no maniacs running around killing people after Donnie got elected, so clearly this is Biden’s fault...”

Or something like that. Never argue with an idiot.

[vercetti2021]

61. But they forgot

Pulse, El Paso, and the school in Florida that escapes me. Fucking troglodytes are so predictable

[Nevilledog]

63. Parkland

[Yavin4]

66. The Las Vegas shooting and the First Baptist Church shootings in TX.

[winstars]

85. "Yeah but besides those mentioned above, none in the last 4 years..." They are idiots!!!

Freaking idiots actually!!!

[Yavin4]

90. Whatever you do, do not watch the Q documentary on HBO.

You will see right wing idiocy jump to a whole new level.

I started googling Golden Passport after watching.

[ellie]

57. I worked

at that King Soopers last year.

[Nevilledog]

64. Yikes!

Read people got out of by going to the back loading bays

[ellie]

72. There are only

two emergency exits in the store. One is in the front at the far right near the deli and the Starbucks and the other is in the back. I feel sick. I really liked my coworkers and the customers were friendly. I only quit because I got a job in my field.

[Crunchy Frog]

60. My hometown, and I used to go and buy snacks there as a kid.

[TeslaNova]

62. Enough of this thoughts and prayers bullshit

It's already started in the comment sections of news posts. This is 20 minutes from my house, shit is getting old real quick that it happens over and over and over and nothing gets done.
