Asymmetrical warfare "soft targets" practice and probing? Hospitals, schools, offices, college campuses, shopping malls, apartment complexes, playgrounds etc.

Confirm that a propane Tank IED has been found and to watch out for vehicles around the mall.

Actually, it's adhān (Arabic: أَذَان‎ [ʔæˈðæːn]), or azan.

Asking if emergency or state gov’t wanted to respond. Think bomb squad in route.

Note to self: Stay away from salons and spas.

Every day is Halloween with this Administration.

Now I know why my folks never wanted me to watch “Psycho”: the perspective is that of the killer, not the victim.

Not Moors, it’s “Moops”

Authorities have retracted an earlier statement, saying that the suspected shooter is not African-American, but is "ethnic with dark skin."

The suspected shooter is also more than 200 lbs, but may not be as heavy-set as authorities said earlier.

Very nice. Realize of course that these pharmaceuticals aren’t jumping out, affixing themselves to citizens, and causing this trouble by themselves.

Psychologists are relying too heavily on these medications. Strike that. I’m not qualified to make that statement. I will say that I am heavily suspecting that psychologists are.

The site, which I very much appreciate you linking us to, seems to be headed in the direction of documenting these problems and proving my assumptions true.

Not trying to be dismissive of your comment, because I’m sure you agree the problem is with the prescribers. Some of these medications may have value, if used properly. Broad use on unmonitored people may be a misuse of them.

Hopefully we’ll find out in short order, and these events will begin to subside.

That’s a great link and resource.

..."ethnic with dark skin."

What the hell is 'ethnic'?

Are they just determined to avoid saying middle-eastern?

[Cboldt]

Going from memory, yes. About 5 miles or so away, in or near Peewaukee.

I used to live in Brookfield, probably 40 years ago or so. I know the area.
