Sources are telling us there are at least 10 people dead and an unknown number of wounded. We’re working to confirm some eyewitness accounts that a person who was denied entry into the bar opened fire.

In a public Facebook post from a person named James Williams: “Sad people are not right. I’m safe. Happened right in front of the patio where I was sitting in front of Neds. The guy in front of Ned Peppers’ door is the active shooter.

“He tried to go into the bar but did not make it through the door. Someone took the gun from him and he got shot and is dead.

“There are at least eight people dead right by the picnic table where I was on the street. A bunch of people taken to the hospital. I don’t know how any... this place is a disaster.”

Trump meanwhile is more interested in what’s happening in London and Germany while there are at least 30 people now dead in 2 incidents on his own doorstep in less than 24 hours. In the U.K. and Germany these would be major terror incidents.


I can't remember who said it (definitely another GRcadian, may have been on here or on Twitter), but if this was anywhere else in the world, Trump would be calling that country a shithole.


That was me!

I thought it was, but wasn't 100% sure!

You're right, Preezy, and I think that's where we are with shootings. They're so frequent that, absolutely awfully, we tend to just accept them as normality. It's hugely disturbing to consider what must be going through peoples minds to make them go on random killing sprees, and maybe more disturbing to realise that - probably - nothing much will be done about it.

A bad do.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.
