Investigators said an off-duty Palm Springs female police officer was in the restaurant at the time of the shooting.

Was she armed and did she make any difference?

What the anti-gunners expected was a backlash against guns and gun-owners. They didn't expect the outcry from some students on being able to legally exercise their CCW permits and carry on campus.

I haven't seen any details yet on the Wendy's shooting, but look for the same BS coming from the Brady Campaign or the VPC.

Domestic dispute?

Unfortunately, it usually turns out to be that way. There aren't a lot of details, but it sounds like the shooter killed someone he knew, then killed himself. Why, oh why can't these goobers just kill themselves and end their pain, rather than take others out with them? Too often, they want to make sure someone else suffers along with them, usually the person they blame for their suffering.

Too bad it had to happen at one of Dave Thomas' restaurants.

He was a great American businessman and one of the most likable persons you could ever meet.

He was an orphan who pulled himself up by his own bootstraps and if he had ever run for office, he would have had my vote.

You are not alone,as the third world take over continues both south, west and north, others who want to leave can't get out because home prices down here have collapsed.

And..they continue to build in Dade County which exaccerbatres the situation.

Last night every car on my block was broken into and we live in a relatively safe neighborhood. It's not safe anywhere down here.

Apparently he never read the Book of Job.

People actually looked out for one another. After “West Side Story” seems the way to deal with conflicts changed. Remember when the worse fight we’d see was with ‘skin’ not weapons?

Good chance too that the shooter was a man and the victim female.

The 40s and 50s were a great time to grow up. Kids played outdoors all the time, little or no TV to influence their behavior, parents could spank them or discipline them without the gov’t sticking their big noses in, people helped each other, were patriotic, kids could play outdoors, walk uptown, walk in the countryside without being raped or kidnapped. It WAS a great time. We’ll never see it again. Sigh.

~Most are moving to mid florida or west coast

The West coast population has moved in alarming numbers, like 20% to get out of the hellhole that’s become CA
