This is from a Philadelphia newspaper:

For Lefenus Pickett, what began as a routine ride home on SEPTA’s Route 47 bus became a near-death experience June 18 when a woman who took offense at his parenting advice called friends who strafed the loaded bus with semiautomatic weapons fire in North Philadelphia.

June 18 when a woman who took offense at his parenting advice called friends who strafed the loaded bus with semiautomatic weapons fire in North Philadelphia.

1. So how come we're only hearing about it a month and a half later?

2. Oh, they strafed (as in machine guns) the loaded bus (it was loaded? -- like, with 70 people or something?) with semiautomatic weapons fire in North Philadelphia.

Yeah, we need that ban back, the one on semiautomatic machine guns and the white man's evil invention, the assault rifle.

Never mind that no "assault rifle" ever built, could stand up to a 1903 Springfield as a killing machine. Over open ground, you're dead 200, 300, 500 yards before you get in range of your "assault rifle" -- assuming it's one of the few that can actually hit something at 400 yards.

Also, I thought that one guy did the shooting on the video, and he used a pistol.
