Gunslinging Granny - I just watched the video on Youtube. I am a non-native speaker as you can tell from my messages so I just watched the video again, this time with subtitles in English in case I had misunderstood. The video is from KCCI 8 News (Iowa TV channel?) and the reporter looked 100%...

I have always thought, from day one, it was an abduction but I just watched the father's plead on Youtube <modsnipped> Edited: I meant to quote a previous poster's message but the quote thingy is not working for me. <modsnipped not substantiated>

I am just reading -on another group and also the Dubuque Police Department page- about the attempted abduction of a female jogger in Dubuque yesterday evening. Correct me if I am wrong I read a few days ago this town is not that far from Brooklyn, how many miles? Does any of you think the two...

The press conference tomorrow at 1.30 pm, are we expecting any significant developments be released? As you know if you visit other groups outside WS today has been buzzing with rumours connected to Missouri. I do not believe any of it - skeptical by nature- but deep inside I wish these were...

And this is the main reason why I became a vegetarian 9 years ago and am currently making the transition to veganism -although a careful one as I have seen this movement has its fair share of eco-terrorists :mad: and people like Gary Yourofsky so I double-check everybody I am in contact with...

This is beyond me. I have never understood people who commit suicide or people who suffer from depression, anxiety etc. Life is just wonderful, no matter how many horrible circumstances one has to go through, and I am not able to grasp why anyone would not see that. I feel far too many...

No harm in reporting that to the authorities...

This is mental. It was just a few months ago that he was still trying to sort things out with Selena Gomez and now he has realized Hayley Baldwin is the love of his life? These days some 20-somethings are very immature; they do not fully comprehend what marriage and having a commitment to it...

So he is not really missing and maybe he was trying his luck in entering Canada illegally for work? There was a TV programme a couple of years ago -Border Security or Border Patrol, I can't remember- that showed that British citizens were in the Top 10 of those trying to work in Canada without...

Does anybody know what time is the press conference scheduled for this morning and what channel will be showing it? With the new GDPR regulations implemented last May it is now even more difficult for us in Europe to access videos, newspapers -lots of local ones don't show on Internet for...

Wonderful post. With Americans like you there is hope :clap:

This is so worrying :(

Just reading my favourite Spanish newspaper now and the text below the headline was something so surreal for me I had to go online to check if that was really true. Americans own half of the civilian guns worldwide -the video is in English with Spanish subtitles-...

Perfect post Betty P. and already experts are saying that should be the case. It is Time to bring back the Assault Weapons Ban, gun violence experts say The Washington Post -published two days ago...

I just signed the Change.org petition and posted on my FB wall for my former (online) classmates at the University of Maryland to sign it too. Reading all the comments on Change.org one really moved me, written by a gentleman called Randy Anderson :heartbeat: I just wish more people were like...

I so totally agree. Her speech was amazing, electric as you rightly say and I would add she clearly showed youngsters inform themselves when talking about issues they care deeply about. She was also 100% accurate on all figures and events mentioned. Young people these days know much more about...

These kids, thousands and thousands of them, will be voters the moment they turn 18 and we should not write them off because of their youth. Their ideas and perspectives should be welcome, not dismissed. The previous president already tried -twice- to put better gun laws in place. I believe...

I totally understand what you say Ranch but sometimes with some politicians it's the emotional pleas that would get them to pay attention first before they start focusing on the evidence and facts, get their advisers to carry out research, urgent meetings etc which prompt them to change laws...

I really hope they will find him safe quickly!

Finally discussing what needs to be discussed. Thanks for opening this thread! Two articles that I found essential reading this morning as those planning the action are the ones suffering the most from these mass shootings: students. Their insight is crucial and we need to listen to them...
