    Major Brent Taylor, mayor of North Ogden was killed today. He's the brother of a close friend.
    That photo is absolutely heartbreaking. Obviously a man that devoted his life to public service. If you see a link to what I assume will be a massive fundraising effort for his family, please post it. Edit: Never mind, here it is.

      All of those kids look like they were born after 2001.

        Yep. Poignant commentary on the world those kids were born into all told in a single picture.

          A friend of mine was near the incident and reported to me. Many in the military are heartbroken. Afghanistan is truly a shithole of a country.

          Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

            Already half-way to 250K in less than a day. Good people abound.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

              sounds like the thousand oaks shooter was a veteran with PTSD. tragic. explains the use of smoke and his ability to take out 12 people with a .45. mental illness + skills/training can be an extremely dangerous combination.
              I'm like LeBron James.

                  I hope there is a gofundme set up for the victim's families so that the folks that supported the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan can feel better about their past sins.

                      Contribute? No. All my monies tied up in NCO. Which reminds me... we need another "surge" or something to get my investments back on track.
