Yep, it’s a gun free zone, except for the criminals who disobey the law and bring in their guns.

who knows. This is just ridiculous.

I took my son into Boston today by train. While waiting for the train, you see the usual loons...yelling and talking to nobody but still disturbing to be around.

This young woman replied to me “ there are so many weirdos all over”. I said, Yeah, I’m getting sick of it!

I would have thought the Scotch drink (er, tape) dispenser would have gotten taken last.

Not the red stapler?

Hannity barely mentioned this incident on his radio show so far, keeps playing the rageaholic Alec Baldwin tape.

FoxHouston news-readerette just said that authorities have asked helos and news stations to not show all the ground activity going on as SWAT gets in place. They are concerned that Perp may have access to a TV and may be watching what is going on outside.

COUP in Moscow can keep things rolling on ISS too. White Sands has uplink too.

Easy mistake. No big deal. FYI, we have two major launch complexes. KSC (Florida) and VAFB (California). The manned operation center (i.e. mission control) is at JSC (Texas). Marshall Space Flight Center (Alabama) propulsion research and major science stuff. Also a huge Shuttle support facility.

There are a few other lesser known locations;

Goddard (just north of D.C.), lots of unmanned research stuff

Ames (Sunnyvale Ca.) The big wind tunnels and is a science center

Poker Flats (Alaska) Aurora research and sounding rockets etc.

Wallops Flight Center (Virginia) Smaller research rockets

Dryden (Edwards AFB) Nasa flight research and Shuttle 747 mate/demate center

Glenn Research Center(formerly Lewis) (Lake Erie) Stuff like hypersonic flight etc.

Stennis (Mississippi) Rocket test facility.

Technically, it’s FedLand, not Texas. It’s surrounded by Texas, but it is Federal land and Fed laws apply.

Which will of course bring more headlines and advertising. A mighty fine business plan they have there.

And another station is saying that some SWAT people have entered the building, but I didn’t see it happen. Another ambulance just pulled up into place with the other ones, lights flashing. Then it just parked.

That big blue hummer-type truck evidently can jack up or something - they said they could use it to see into the 2nd floor.

The rest of the JSC campus has been told to go home.

I used to be an active member of the Johnson Space Center Astronomy Society...knew a bunch of people who worked at JSC or were contractors for there...hoping all this resolves cleanly...
