Where was the good guy with the gun to prevent this from happening?
Getting his perfect score, a few ranges down.
guys, you all need to stop talking about this tragedy - partially out of respect for the deceased, but mostly because there aren't any arguments that the gun nuts can make right now, and the idiocy of their position is laid bare, and frankly, it's an awkward situation to be in.

thanks.
If only the instructor had been armed before teaching her how to use the gun that she then killed him with, this never would have happened.

EVERETT, Pennsylvania (KRON) ? A Pennsylvania teenager is facing criminal charges after posting pictures to Facebook of him simulating a sex act with a statue of Jesus.

The young man posted that he took the pictures in late July at the statue of a kneeling Jesus in front of the ?Love in the Name of Christ? Christian organization in his hometown of Everett.

The criminal charge, which will be heard in family court, consists of ?Desecration of a Venerated Object.?

Pennsylvania law defines desecration as ?Defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise, physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action.?

The teen, whose name has not been released, could face up to two years in a juvenile jail if convicted.

i wondered about the constitutionality of such prosecution (first amendment, anyone?) so i started googling around and came across the following bit of legalistic musing on WaPo:

?Desecration ? of venerated objects?

sounds like a law profession assigning homework to his class.  what really caught my eye was the closing line of the article:

[This sentence constitutes the obligatory statuary rape joke.]

WTF?!?
You, Wondered?

Urban Outfitters apologizes for its blood-red-stained Kent State sweatshirt

CYA - Cover Your Ass

Does anyone in the target demographic for Urban Outfitters even know about what happened at Kent State? This would be edgy… thirty years ago.

"The point isn't just to help U2 but less well known artists and others in the industry who can't make money, as U2 does, from live performance. 'Songwriters aren't touring people,' says Bono. 'Cole Porter wouldn't have sold T-shirts. Cole Porter wasn't coming to a stadium near you.'"
