Western Pennsylvania authorities say a shooting at a Sweet 16 birthday party has left one person dead and seven others wounded.

As one who has worked a number of birthday parties including sweet sixteens over the years I find this incomprehensible.

I trust the ones that hire me as dance leader/dj in the future will spare me such an experience.

I think it’s also the other way around. Feedback loops and all. “Reflexivity,” as Soros likes to call it.

Friends and family are shocked, the shooter was such a good kid, never in trouble, well, maybe has turned his life around, but he’s an A student and has such a good heart and wouldn’t hurt a flea.

Duquesne is a complete ghetto. Don’t even like driving on the highway that goes past it.

I had a gun stolen earlier this year. I often wonder when it will turn up in the hands of these feral monsters.

I was just flipping the channels and CNN was running a show called “Black in AMerica”.

Somehow I do not think they will be showing this story.

Only the stories about successful CEO’s. any story which may reflect negatively is verboten.

That’s a great link. Bookmarked. I’d seen those maps before, but it ties things together nicely.
