I am not blaming the victims here AT ALL, because clearly that person was an unhinged psychopath, but I know if I heard my neighbor shooting a gun in the late evening, I would be calling the police for that noise complaint. No fucking way am I going anywhere near someone who is shitty enough to be shooting guns at 11:00 PM. The Washington Post article included an interview with a neighbor who said they hear gunfire in their neighborhood literally ALL the time. That makes me wonder if there's no noise ordinance regarding gunfire.

It sounds like maybe they did call, the article I read said the police were already on the way to his house for a harassment complaint so I don't know if that call had been from this family or someone else. It also said they had been called out there multiple times in the past for complaints about him shooting his rifle in the front yard. A neighbor said she heard over 15 shots but didn't think anything of it because they hear it every weekend.

I was unplugged all weekend and it was nice. Reality sucks.
I want to take all the guns, melt them down and make a giant ass hill. We can call it "Mount America's Dumbass Obsession."
Someone else could probably come up with a better name.

This might be an UO, but I didn’t care for Biden comment about MTG. I can’t stand her and think she needs to be gone, but Biden saying that just rubbed me the wrong way

It's so horrible that Flint is still without clean water. Criminal isn't even a strong enough word.

But also...Cheeto McFuckface would have said the same or worse about a Dem. It's just not something Biden does a lot so it seems out of character.

That makes me wonder if there's no noise ordinance regarding gunfire. There are very, very few ordinances compared to most places. Also - little to no zoning. It’s part of why Houston is so diverse. Also what led to the awful flooding here.

That makes me wonder if there's no noise ordinance regarding gunfire. I would be shocked if there wasn’t one. But it’s a rural area. I used to live in a more suburban neighborhood close by and we heard gunshots all the time. The neighborhood fb page was full of (1) people asking if it was gunshots or fireworks (both illegal) and (2) the only other people posting saying mind your business.

I live in a suburban area and I've heard it several times but not frequently. At least I think it's gunfire. It's never sounded super loud so not like people on my block. Thankfully.

I'm in the break room and the news is on. They still haven't apprehended the man. And Asshole Abbott made sure to mention that the gunman AND the victims are 'illegal immigrants'. Of course that's the most important factor here 🤬🤬🤬

I expected nothing less from Abbott but I'm still so angry. Next thing you know they are going to Kyle Rittenhouse the shooter and call him a hero for helping with the immigration crisis.

The gunman is a citizen of Mexico CNN is reporting he was deported four times after entering the US illegally, so the Ma.ga crowd is going to especially vocal about this one.
