Sad state of affairs when something has to be rushed through while legislators give a shit.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
i agree with you. it would be incredibly difficult to do. that i certainly understand , or even her fear he'd shoot her would make her think twice. but , ffs this wasn't smoking weed in the backyard.
She admitted to it to the police. She quite literally confessed to the definition of accessory.
I believe in and respect due process and the fact that people are innocent until proven guilty as much as anybody, but my word, a confession is a confession.
Has she been arrested and charged?
the killer's father is upset at his son's actions, but for reasons that you didn't expect:

I mean... what the feck? they're not really making this easy for themselves, are they?

Canadians say "y'all"!?!?
I was raised by American television.
Mentally disturbed people getting a hold of such powerful weapons. Boggles your mind.
How difficult can it be to require such checks.

The solution is more guns to the people and make America great again :-)
been posted already
he also said the club should have had better security. what a fecking div! must say he looked great with what looked like purple highlights in his hair. SEXY
Mixed messages- starts off saying he will visit the injured and apologise, then the ranty, nutty bit.
It's really peculiar trying to discuss restricting access to guns with Americans on Reddit.
These people would argue for paedophiles to be restricted from having access to children but will argue dangerous criminals should have access to guns with no background checks, or any test of suitability to own a gun. I really can't understand the logic of American gun rights activists. I don't want to tar all gun owners with the same brush as I know many advocate responsible gun ownership.
Representative Jeff Sessions never fails to entertain it seems...

Well thinking that a dozen police officers engaging a crazy person with a semi-automatic weapon in a small space doesn´t carry a significant risk of wounded/dead by friendly fire, makes me think you also watch a little too much A-Team.
Very interesting how this story is playing out in two completely separate narratives in the US.
Democrats - Closeted Gay Muslim man uses high capacity weapon to commit mass murder; uses ISIS as a foil to justify internal conflicts between his sexual orientation and religious dogma (Political Narrative: Increased gun control)
Republicans - ISIS inspired American Muslim radicalized by internet propaganda commits jihadi mass murder at "soft target" Gay Nightclub. (Political Narrative: "Radical Islamic Terrorism" must be dealt with through expanded military action abroad and limits on immigration from Muslim countries).

I wish I could say that I was surprised, but that's exactly what I expected from the Republicans.
Oh shit, fecking Republicans having a political belief. God damn, right wing evil.
Sense vs The GOP
15 hour filibuster required from the Dems to even get a vote on restricting gun sales to terror suspects.

Fixed that for you.
They had to put up their token resistance to keep their handlers happy.
Of course, the Republicans are guilty of wrong think. There is only one opinion. The one true belief.
It is unacceptable for people to prioritize different issues. Anyone who does not agree must be morally corrupt.
Well no, evidence shows they're guilty of wrong thinking. But feel free to continue with the sarcasm. It hits me right in the core and showcases your intellect all at the same time. I tip my hat to you Sir, kudos.
You say that, but they have history for voting these things down.
Oh, you have proof that considering national security over gun control is wrong. My mistake. I was living in a world where your opinion on what is more important wasn't proof. So is it just the millions of republicans that are wrong for their opinion or is it everyone whose right leaning?
Well, that's all gonna depend on how bad the NRA wants to keep fighting this.
You seem to be missing the point here by quite some considerable distance. I replied to a post about how Republicans are reporting this particular event as something that all evidence shows that it isn't which was hardly surprising to me. I'm sorry if that offends you.
Which I'm sure you agree is pretty messed up.
Extremist positions, like of the GOP's are almost always wrong.
Oh absolutely.
In other news, Taliban is using young boys as assassins in Afganistan to kill the Afghani cops. Many cops have paedophilia and are involved in "boy buying".
These boys either kill cops or keep them busy so that others can kill them. They are also used to infiltrate check points as they keep the cops busy.
Probably on record, both cops and Taliban might say that being gay is blasphemous.

you make it sound like a communicable disease
Not offended, not American, certainly not Republican.
All evidence doesn't point to it being wrong. The shooter was a radical Islamist, and that is an issue. These people hold the position that that is the priority issue and have an idea on how they should be addressed. Which isn't wrong, it's an opinion on a subjective issue.
Democrats report the event as if the only problem here was gun control. They prioritize this over all other factors. Also not wrong.
All 'evidence' indicates that the shooting was caused by a myriad of factors (acknowledged by both parties). You suggest that the Republicans are wrong for having an opinion that gun control isn't the most important issue.
Weirdly, pedophilia is often considered to be different to homosexuality, even if the children are the same sex as the perpetrator.
Meant it taking the literal meaning of peadophilia - Sexual attraction towards children
Because being gay is not a crime, but being a peadophile certainly is.
That is a really odd sentence.
He was a gay man who pledged allegiance to three separate groups all of whom hate each other and are currently killing each other. It's the clearest smokescreen ever yet still the narrative continues to focus on it as if it was true. They also shoe horn immigration in their despite the fact that this is an American citizen and therefore has nothing to do with immigration. They also use ISIS in their headline despite the fact he also pledged allegiance to two groups who cannot stand ISIS. It's twisting what actually happened which was an American citizen who committed a hate crime against the gay community with an assault rifle into an ISIS inspired jihad attack and ban all Muslims from entering the country.
