ummm…

This is a clear warning of a zombie outbreak that slipped past government censors.  Begin readying contingency plans.

I have my lobo sharpened and am preparing to head for my undisclosed fortified location.

Actually, pro-gunners tend to be frightened, insecure people, which is why you find so many of them on the internet, where they feel anonymous.  It must be a sad feeling to feel unsafe without a gun.

I think of the typical urban/suburban pro-gunner as a Bernard Goetz type, a pencil-neck geek carrying around a lifetime of supressed rage, who reacted to a mugging on the NYC subway by opening fire and emptying his gun into his would-be attackers on a fully loaded subway while they were sitting down, risking the lives of innocents.  He approached one of them, already lying down and wounded, and said "You don't look too bad; here's another," before shooting him again.  In short, Goetz was trying to kill solely to fulfill his own macho fantasies built on extreme lack of self-esteem.

The one person I've ever known to own an assault rifle was a guy filled with anger at the world who still lived with his mom despite being 35.  I was sure we'd someday read about him going berzerk at someone's school.

Anyone who actually pays attention to gun crime in the District, rather than cowering in their bedroom in fear of fictional home invasions, knows that the overwhelming majority of gun crimes here are related to the drug trade.  If you are not involved in the drug trade, your biggest risk of getting shot is a stray bullet – a risk that adding Bernard Goetz types to the mix will only increase.   We're all better off if such people stay at home with their moms in their gated communities, cradling their weapons in fear.

Bump for accurate prediction.
Although I wish it stayed on Zombies.

going back to the original comment I think that there are a ton of shootings in US cities that are unrelated to drug trade. I think that people try and make themselves feel more secure by saying it is drug crimes and the police put crimes they can't solve into that bucket so they get less anquish from the public.

if drugs trade was the reason for the shooting than legalize drugs and problem solved.  But that isn't true at all. 

I feel safer when people do not have guns.  Maybe some people feel safer with guns.  I am a big guy 6'2 220lbs so maybe I don't see it from the small guys view.  I am certainly never scared of an unarmed person in any situation.    Maybe a small guy feels like he is in danger all the time.  I doubt any small guys will come forward and tell things from their point of view though. 

zombies . . . or end of thread.

can you believe that the walking dead, won video game of the year?!

According to whom exactly? AMC?

Oh, I just checked and in fact this prestigious award to a game based on a cable network show was granted by another cable network. God that is some nice synergy there. Similar to the synergy inherent in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. It's no coincidence that all of those delightful flavors join together to make something higher. Anyway, I haven't seen the Walking Dead game but from what I've heard, it's very well done.

Well, I'm 5'11'' at 185, so smaller than you, and completely agree with you. In addition, I always have 'feets don't fail me now' and I'm not afraid to use 'em!

I was robbed in high school a few blocks from ye olde 9:30 club one night by a guy with a sawed off shotgun pointed at my temple. I've always felt safer in the majority of clubs I frequent than outside.

The undeniable fact is innocent people always get killed in any form of mutually assured destruction schemes.

always amuses me how most people have no idea how dangerous the new 930 Club's hood used to be…

back when it first opened I lived in Adams Morgan and when you got to the stretch between 14th and 9th on U St you walked fast once you got past Republic Gardens…

One time a  guy walked past me right around Ben's and opened his coat to flash me a gun. I kept walking.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) – A Montana television station's regular programming was interrupted by news of a zombie apocalypse.

The Montana Television Network says hackers broke into the Emergency Alert System of Great Falls affiliate KRTV and its CW station Monday.

KRTV says on its website the hackers broadcast that "dead bodies are rising from their graves" in several Montana counties.

The alert claimed the bodies were "attacking the living" and warned people not to "approach or apprehend these bodies as they are extremely dangerous."

The network says there is no emergency and its engineers are investigating.

A call to KRTV was referred to a Montana Television Network executive in Bozeman. Jon Saunders didn't immediately return a call for comment.

The Great Falls Tribune reports the hoax alert generated at least four calls to police to see if it was true.

Has anyone else read the Passage?

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6690798-the-passage

Somehow I tore through 750+ pages on my iPhone in a few days.  Nominally a "vampire" book, but reads more like zombies.

Pretty killer ending to Sunday's show.  Was getting a bit worried they weren't making the Governor a bad enough dude…but that eased my concerns :)

Poor Carol is probably thinking "Jesus Christ, I am never gonna get laid."
