The mentality of many Americans leaves much to be desired. And it will continue until some ruthless action comes into force.
Re: General Discussions - Mav - 05-25-2022
Unless restrictions are imposed at the Federal level, the laxest State will undermine any States that try to take some action. For instance, Chicago has restrictions such as background checks but they can be easily avoided by driving a mere 27 kilometres to gun shops in Gary, Indiana where guns can be bought over the counter without any waiting period and without a licence.

I wonder why Ed Curnow hates the Cats now, obviously there is his history, but he use to barrack for them?
I suspect it will be related to being stuck as an AFLPA representative with the Dangerfield as AFLPA President, that would surely be grating!
Re: General Discussions - LP - 05-26-2022
I heard this on radio at lunchtime and had to share it, this comes out of an early series of the Batchelor, and relates to a famous or infamous participant Laurina Fleure who describe one of Adelaide's famous Pie Floaters as a Dirty Street Pie!
"Laurina Fleure, from Dirty Street Pie to Up the Duff, a common fate for many a SA female!"
Of course for those not quite in the know, the Pie Floater from the van outside the old Casino was Adelaide's equivalent of the 2am Souva!

Oddly, but perhaps not surprisingly, they had a similar synergy to Laurina's Dirty Street Pie, in that new Dads were often the flower shop's big customers after hours, which might have been caused and effect related to late night Souva a few doors down! :o
Re: General Discussions - Mav - 05-26-2022
Interesting that the 'good guys with a gun' don't always rise to the occasion to stop the bad guy with a gun. The school resource officer who refused to go inside Parklands school to confront the killer is going for trial as a result of his cowardice. Now, it looks like police who attended the school shooting in Texas also refused to go in soon after the incident started despite being called out by bystanders. Apparently, some bystanders discussed taking action when the police didn't:
Texas Shooting Onlookers Say Police Were 'Unprepared,' Didn't Go Into School, Huffpost.
If the Republicans want to argue that arming everyone will help stop killers running amok, it would be useful if armed police showed they had the guts to intervene occasionally. But of course teachers will turn into Rambo if they're required to carry guns at school. They're paid so much to teach that it's only fair to expect them to exhibit more courage than trained police.

Hollywood palace was one.

When I was working on the newspapers in Flinder St we use to drive up to Hollywood's and get a souva or more usually a steak sandwich to go. Life isn't all that glamorous when you working on newspapers at 4am!

The guns will go underground for sure but any reduction is a win and lives will be saved..
