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.
You've mentioned the view previously? Is that your go to source for news? I listen to and read opinions from law professors and former prosecutors. What would they know about law, amirite?

Why is he "disconnected from honor, integrity, or patriotic duty"? Most people would rather have McCarthy over Biden or Harris.
The recent elections and polling suggest something quite different from that opinion. Most people elected Biden and Harris while some Californians elected McCarthy and he struggled to get agreement that he should be speaker.
He's disconnected from honor and integrity because he is making excuses for un-American rhetoric and behavior.
12 year old girl stabs 9 year old brother to death. Only in America. When will we have common sense knife control? These knife lobbies need to be stopped.

Your entire premises seeks to reconize one type of victim and not the other. And identify one perpetrator but dismiss or exclude others.
The only minimizing being done here is by you. I'm just waiting for you to suggest that another prepretrator of slavery other than "Caucasians" are somehow exempt from accountability because of their ethnicity.
When you want to have a serious discussion about slavery and racism, as perpetrated by caucasions in American history let me know...or when you want to talk about exemption from accountability right here in the good ol USA. I'm not interested attempts to deflect from our racist and brutal history to talk about ither bad actors elsewhere instead.

Absolutely not. Did you read the sources I provided? They clearly included several perpetrators of slavery, not just "Caucasians" as you seemed to suggest as the sole perpetrators of slavery.
Keep trying to use the go to deflect and shame into silence technique. It's not new and has been used many times before by, people who struggle with their emotions about the fact that slavery is not a one race phenomenon. Are you just coming to the realization of this fact? I'm sorry this is hard to acknowledge when some media amplify one group and down grade, or all out exclude all the facts. Which is almost all societies, civilizations have partook in slavery. Even the Transatlantic Slave Trade. I nor did anyone else try and justify racism of any type. Unless one considers omitting the fact that many, not just one race was responsible. I would agree that that is racist.
Again, there is slavery happening right now. Perhaps our feelings can be better focused on this then past atrocities? Or spending our time trying to falsely apply atrocities on one group for whatever the motive to do so is? Do the victims of slavery other than that of "Caucasians" deserve recognition as well? Do the other offenders deserve persecution? Or are they excempt because they are not "Caucasian "? What disservice do we apply to victims of modern slavery by playing the blame game on the past offenders when we should be helping them now?
Yep...I'm blaming caucasion men for the North American slave trade.
There's no justice for victims if we won't/can't even correctly identify those who committed the injustice, the brutality, the murders and inhumane treatment right here in our coubtry.

That is true. But Alaska does not border continental USA and is an outlier. Don't you guys have to have a lot of things you consume flown in rather than coming by cheaper transportation? Maybe I am incorrectly thinking of Alaska as an outlier to the southern Canada or the USA. You may be in the USA but you are colder and more difficult to get to. I also live in a very cold climate and gas is more expensive here. We are near the end of the transportation line which is never cheap.
Everything that comes to Alaska comes by truck, ship or air. There is no rail service into Alaska through Canada, only road.
Yep. Asians are not considered a minority because they work hard and succeed and place a huge emphasis on family instead of the thug life.
This comment shows a thought pattern of ignorance and is very disrespectful. What a generalization. It seems easy for people who are not minorities to want to seem to dive right in and explain away the perplexities and challenges that minority races face. Each race faces very unique challenges in this country and just because something seems to work for one race/culture doesn't necessarily mean that it will for another. I.e. that another culture will be afforded that same acceptance/opportunity given the same set of circumstances. There is such a thing as unconscious bias and it is very pervasive and can't be undone in some online trainings or office retreats. Due to the pattern of your responses, I don't expect you to understand this.
I don't know how I missed this; the NYT article was published this morning, but this happened nearly 2 years ago.
Apparently he openly carried the rifle when he entered the store, when he was reported to store security "clicking sounds" where heard coming from a stall in the restroom.
While I support responsable gun ownership, I can't see any reason, other than creating panic, that someone would do something like this.
Agree with you here. With all that's going on in the world with these active shooters, I'm sorry but Mr. Whoeverheis should have been arrested. Why are you carrying guns in a guitar case in a supermarket, why even have an AR15 in a supermarket? Why are we boggling our brains and wasting time trying to decide if he was going to act?
It is more than that. "Reproductive Decisions" is a human rights issue, racial issue, and mens right issue. Widespread abortion has its roots in eugenics and racism against African Americans and later evolved into blatantly misandristic policies. If men are expected to provide child support for 18 years after the birth of a child they deserve equal rights into whether a woman murders their unborn child.
Why are Asians the most successful group in America financially even though they are a tremendous disadvantage in regards to college admissions?
Why do African Americans lag behind even though they benefit tremendously from factors such as black privilege?
Why have black households with a father dropped significantly since the civil rights movement?
1. Because of the widespread support and acceptance of some Asian business.
2. You are gonna have to explain to me what the heck "black privilege" is? I can tell you why some blacks lag behind. They lag behind from the start. Say and think what you want but a lot of black children do not have the educational advantage, environment, acceptance, learning opportunities and encouragement that others have.
3. Because a lot of black fathers are racially profiled, put in prison, have prison records, have been murdered, pigeon-holed, passed over, maimed, ignored, stereotyped, .....again have economic disadvantages that can tend to make one succumb to feelings of hopelessness and helpless feelings when trying to take care of a family.
And this pertains to some not all black folk, don't at me.
They don't like the fact that black people are primarily responsible for the slave trade. Slaves in America were sold into slavery by tribes in Africa. The Jews were enslaved by Africans for centuries and you don't see them calling for reparations.
As for the Irish you are right, definitely a marginalized population at one point who overcame it. NINA (No Irish Need Apply) was plastered over buildings for years.
Thomas Sowell just made an interesting video about the film Roots, arguably the most damaging film of all time for African Americans.

Another one I see, ....going out of your way to make sure black people and African Americans stay oppressed. Some not ALL Afrikans people were sold into slavery by Afrikans, let's get it right.
For you, the bigger issue is the here and now. The peoples who are here with you in this lifetime. The black peoples in your lifetime are right here and now not treated fairly and instead of you going out of your way to figure out ways to help your fellow brothers and sisters you want to blame them for their plight and seem fine with them continuing to suffer in this country. In fact, you seem to want to invest in ways to aid others in turning their backs on blacks as well. And this is what is wrong with our country. smh
