Because the most important thing after a shooting of children is to describe gun functionality accurately. 🤷 Also, if he had a bump stock he could rapidly operate the trigger and empty a clip really fast, and those are no longer illegal. (It doesn't say he had one, probably not. Just sayin'.)

I read elsewhere that if it was a citizen tossing a sandwich at a citizen the cop might have said "break it up guys" and that'd be the end of it. In this case a "beat it, punk" might have been in order, in addition to aggressively biting into the sandwich, wrapper and all.

bruise on his hand looks like what I've seen on elderly relatives after an IV in their hand. Could be for a UTI, common at his age, which definitely can affect mental acuity (again, based on multiple older people I know who have had them -- I'm not a doc). Recent level of nuttier comments fits...

Renouncing previously-understood obligations to those "outside" because we are not individually obligated justifies the belief that we have no systemic issues at home, (racism, classism, etc.) And leads to ignoring them since "I *personally* did no harm to ____" and have no obligation.

My BIL in Alaska just put in a new heat pump because it's what you get energy credits for. It doesn't work there in winter of course. He generally uses his wood-burning stove for heat anyway, so it made sense for him and everyone in his town does the same.
