    After another horrific shooting, more Thoughts and prayers are apparently what folks are calling for. Yea let's just ignore that the recent shooting took place at a church where the victims were already praying.

    It does give me a sort of perverse appreciation for second amendment rights folks. I'm pretty anti-gun and if I could wave a magic wand to erase the second amendment from the Constitution I would do it. But in an era where I see people willingly surrendering our civil rights to Trump left and right, I have some grudging respect for the gun rights people who will not budge even in the face of our kids getting slaughtered. Not that I want our kids killed, but I wish we had that much commitment to our other rights.

    Like a machine gun’: 4 dead, 20 injured in mass shooting in Beaufort County, SC

    By Karl Puckett and Evan McKenna Updated October 12, 2025 4:39 PM

    Four people were killed in a mass shooting at a St. Helena Island bar early Sunday morning as sounds of rapid gunfire sent patrons running for their lives.

    At least 20 customers at Willie’s Bar and Grill, 7 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, were injured during the shooting, in addition to four people who were pronounced dead at the scene, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office said.

    Names of the victims were not immediately released pending the notification of family.

    Authorities received multiple reports of a shooting just before 1 a.m.

    Upon arriving, deputies found a large crowd, with several suffering from gunshot wounds. At the time of the shooting, the Sheriff’s Office said hundreds of people were at the bar, and multiple victims and witnesses ran to nearby businesses and properties seeking shelter.

    Beaufort County EMS transported four victims to area hospitals in critical condition. At least 20 people were shot. Additional victims continued to arrive at the hospital on their own to be treated for injuries.

    The Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that it is investigating “persons of interest” and asked the public to contact Investigator Master Sergeant Duncan at 843-255-3418 with information.

    Reports suggest that it's another deranged liberal targeting a conservative. When will the assassinations by the liberals stop?

    Calling this ‘another deranged liberal’ before a suspect is identified is irresponsible. There’s no confirmed shooter, motive, or ideology yet. Speculation like this only inflames things before facts are known.


    What we know so far
    • A manhunt continues into a third day in the deadly mass shooting at Brown University after a person of interest detained in connection with the attack was released, Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Brett Smiley said. Evidence “now points in a different direction,” state Attorney General Peter Neronha said, without offering details.

    • The shooting left two students dead and nine others injured at the Ivy League school, where classes and exams have been canceled. At a Sunday vigil in a nearby park, the mayor urged residents to come together and “shine a little bit of light.

    • The carnage followed at least 75 school shootings in the United States this year. So far in 2025, there have been at least 391 mass shootings and 13,929 shooting deaths nationwide, Gun Violence Archive reports.

    What reports? You mean "reports by some careless people I follow on Twitter," right?

    Now do the other ten victims.

    I have a buddy who has a son at Brown. He was studying in the library next to the Engineering building. Heard shots and saw two victims on the sidewalk in front of the library. They barricaded a room, had police pointing guns at them, moved to the basement, and eventually the gym. No food for over 12 hours. I don't know if this was his floor, but it sounds like his experience was similar.

    The only thing we know for sure about the shooter is that he or she is a gun nut. Because all mass shooters are gun nuts.

    Anyhoo, thought and prayers.

    Patel has earned the nickname 'Keystone Kash' - a reference to the bumbling Keystone Cops of slapstick film fame - because of his pattern of making premature announcements about the FBI's successes. eg include the Charlie Kirk assasination and the supposed terror threat in Michigan in Oct 2025, now the shoot in Brown university

    Another embarrassing fiasco for "Keystone Kash' as FBI frees soldier, 24, who was named and shamed over Brown shooting


    Donald Trump was dragged into the chaos over the weekend as his FBI director once again claimed a premature success.

    The president was left humiliated after announcing the capture, and was forced to clarify on Truth Social just hours later that 'the suspect is NOT in custody'.

    Investigators are back at square one after their leads led to the wrong suspect, former FBI Special agent Steve Moore explained.

    If the mass shooter makes a break for the Ladies's Restroom in a texas state government building, he'll have a big problem.
