I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
I do think it's just a matter of time before Biden will address the RSV situation but it's not going to look good on him if he takes too long because it's children. When it was old people with covid people didn't care as much.
I know different states like Oregon and Colorado have declared disaster/emergency. A dozen states are apparently at 80% capacity. Maybe this isn't a "national emergency" but a regional one? But it's going to spread so being more proactive might be prudent.

In a statement responding to pressure from the Children’s Hospital Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other groups, a Biden administration official said that “public health emergencies are determined based on nationwide data, science trends, and the insight of public health experts.”
The official said the administration is “ready to provide assistance to communities who are in need of help on a case-by-case basis” and encouraged people to take preventive action, such as “avoiding close contact with people who are sick, staying home when sick, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying up to date on their flu and COVID-19 vaccines to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.”
Here in Florida there's been an uptick but we're not at capacity or overwhelmed. But sometimes Florida tends to have later respiratory seasons than other parts of the country.
I'm not sure they did because they are only asking for an emergency declaration, not asking the government to do anything specific, but, "An emergency declaration would temporarily lift certain requirements under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act to speed up patient transfers, allow for more telehealth flexibilities, and waive Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program rules to make it easier for providers to share resources."
Ultimately like we saw with covid it's not necessarily going to stop the surge and hospitals are going to continue to be stressed and overwhelmed.
If you think Mr., I mean Mx. Aldrich was "radicalized ", it seems he, I mean they, may have been influenced by the woke crowd.
Now we find out the shooter identified as non-binary. My my my how the narrative changes.

I know different states like Oregon and Colorado have declared disaster/emergency. I don't know if it's in enough states to declare a Federal Emergency but perhaps being proactive would be prudent.

Yes: "An emergency declaration would temporarily lift certain requirements under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act to speed up patient transfers, allow for more telehealth flexibilities, and waive Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program rules to make it easier for providers to share resources."

Still frequenting that anti-police website?
How do red-flag laws and background checks stop a criminal from getting an illegal gun?
What website are you referencing? Can you be specific?
He didn't need to get an illegal gun because the police didn't enforce the red flag laws after he demonstrated irrational, threatening and violent behavior.

That's interest because wasn't it the voters that voted for the ranked choice system. I understand the general public these days is dumbed down but I would hope they had an understanding of it when the voted for it to be their system. It's because it didn't go the republican's way that they decide the public is confused.
Alaskan voters supported ballot measure 2 in 2020. It won with a narrow margin. I voted for the system.

Most people who used ranked choice voting for the first time this August thought the process was simple according to a survey commissioned by Alaskans for Better Elections. Most had learned about the process through extensive outreach efforts across the state like mailings from the Division of Elections, social media campaigns, and family and friends.
The evidence seems to suggest that Alaska Republicans voiced concerns about the system, complained that it was confusing but spent little time helping their voters understand and use the system to achieve desired outcomes. Maybe they created the sense of confusion that didn't help them in their Elections.

Multiple studies also support that RCV increases campaign civility. A survey of voters in cities that use ranked voting versus the more common plurality voting showed that they were more satisfied with the elections and that candidates were less negative. A 2021 examination of campaign tweets and newspaper articles showed that candidates in cities that use RCV were less negative and interacted with each other more.
Clearly he was radicalized...that's what we call it when men are convinced to take violent action because of their grievances. Are you uncertain as to the meaning of radicalized or do you disagree that mass shootings are a form of radical expression?
So, to clarify... are you saying that the killer was influenced by the empathy of others or he was influenced by the mocking of empathy of others? Which do you think influenced him to murder people in a nightclub as if they have no value?
That's all a very interesting attempt to deflect away from that this case may not be what your bias led you to assume it was.
Now we find out the shooter identified as non-binary. My my my how the narrative changes.
The left only cares about the transgender kids.
Perhaps if the magaphiles cared more about their transgender kids, the allegedly non-binary Colorado Springs shooter wouldn’t have gone out of their mind. Imagine being raised by people who want to kill you …
Some of the most virulent homophobes are, themselves, closet cases or homosexuals who have been “cured”. Why would transfolk be different?
What website are you referencing? Can you be specific?
Oh, there is more than one?
I'm sure you remember the young man killed by what you described as a police "sniper ". Although, none of the news accounts you referred to, or the victim's family, described it that way. We could find "sniper" used on a anti-police site's account of the story.

But, its sounding like his gun was illegal. So, there was no record of a gun to take away.
The shooter's motivations are not known and no hate crimes have been charged. Let's wait and see before jumping to conclusions about him being radicalized, mentally ill, or whatever.
I know you're going to say "but MAGA-phile....." but I would like to ask the group not to use the word "tranny". It's been long established to be a slur that's vile and offensive.

So you won't clarify your comments and instead claim that I've made assumptions out of bias without specifically stating what the biased assumptions involve. Color me surprised...
The fellow is an angry and radicalized young white man... which part of that do you disagree with? Is it the radicalized part?

The shooters motivation was to shoot gay folk... that's why he was at the club and not at a school or grocery store or theater where the targets would be more diverse.
The use of the word "tranny" has always been a slur and that type of attempt to create animus is typical for MaybeeRN... we didn't miss those trolling techniques while she was in hiatus. Will most just ignore her language or will others push back too? I thought the attempt was so childish and obvious that I just laughed at it.

Perhaps there are consequences to grooming and sexualizing children. This guy could be a member of gays against groomers.

I don't know about anti-police web sites... you brought that up and now haven't clarified which site you were referencing. I guess you were just trolling for a reaction, eh?
Yeah...I do recall that. That must have upset you, calling a policeman taking a distant shooting position to kill a person through an open window a "sniper", so you bring it up again while trying to imply without evidence that I frequent anti-police websites. Yeah the family did describe a sniper. Perhaps your narrow focus upon a specific word has resulted in a narrow understanding of the events surrounding that shooting.
Right... the young man is a radicalized killer who showed his neighbors that he was irrational, angry and violent but for some reason the police didn't use red flag laws to confiscate any legally owned weapons, and the DA sealed the case so that it couldn't negatively impact his ability to obtain legal firearms in the future. Why did he go to the trouble of obtaining illegal firearms?

What is it that you think the president should do? Can you be specific about where you see a problem? Did the health experts make recommendations?
Yeah...Trump and MAGAphiles politicized commonsense public health mitigation strategies, we're still dealing with that nonsense.
