This doesn't look good for the Corona Costco cop --

https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/17/us/costco-shooting-questions/index.html

I don't have a Costco card anymore (made sense with three kids in the house, but any savings we would get now are offset by annual fee and travel cost, and how long does it take to use 35 cans of chicken noodle soup at one per week?). I'm at a loss to imagine what could lead to a fatal argument at a Costco. Was it a struggle over the last 50-pair bag of tube socks on the table? Line cutting at a barbeque sample nosh stand? Lost the race to the just-opened no-line-yet cashier lane?

The "cop" felt "threatened" by the "gentle giant" a special needs individual the "cop" decided to kill, along with shooting his parents while the "cop" held his own child. I'm sure that will leave a scar for many people.

The OFF-DUTY Officer was holding his kid, maybe figure it out from there.
Your remarks are another indicator to your twisted thinking.

There's WAY more to this story that YOU are NOT researching....
Off Duty Officers don't just shoot at people willy nilly....
Do some research....and correct my hypothesis if I'm wrong.

Like ..why did the Officer fire six rounds...
Why did the " Gentle Giant " attack the off duty Officer who was
holding his child...
I have a feeling the " Gentle Giant " snapped and the parents couldn't
contain him and it went from confrontational to full on hostility that
gave the Off-duty Officer beyond reasonable fear for his safety and his child...
Containing a possibly 250 + lb adult male who might unleash more strength
than two adults is quite a challenge, not to mention keeping YOUR child safe...

Yes I am speculating.....but again Officers ..Especially Off-Duty Officers don't
just pull their weapons to make a statement...you better have a Damn Good reason...!

Maybe Video will solve the mystery....

Overnight the news channels viewer comments went from the likes of "Hero saves Costco from active shooter" to "That'll put a kink in his career".

All the Costcos I have ever been in have security cameras everywhere so stay tuned.

Aren't you the observant one....ummmm, been like that for a long time.
Let's see what REALLY happened....My money is on a " Triggered/Snapped "
individual who was attempting to harm the man and his child....parents/guardians
who let it escalate and ultimately the three of them were shot....

Where's the Riddler? This is a perfect opportunity for him to say nothing in as many words as possible.
 
Now that we know how much it costs to get someone murdered through the internet, I guess no one would want to have any seriously rich enemies, right?

Even better (or worse, maybe, depending on your viewpoint) -- it appears that no real money changed hands - just a promise to pay.
 
From what I can tell about technical details of the Alex Jones court submission, it looks like it's not actually a big pile of paper that had photos hidden in it - it was some mass storage device (likely a thumb drive or something bigger) in which the files are archived on the physical and electrical patterns of memory chips. They also said there was no way to search them - they were just files loose from any data structure. Maybe they just zapped the data base of the operating system interface, which would mean the files are still out there, we just don't know how to reach them. They would have had to access and read every file, perhaps sector by sector, to see what it is and how it relates to adjacent files or sectors, thus building up files and a directory to locate them more easily next time.

If there really are offensive images in some of those files (and not just someone's imagination seeing a picture of a polar bear orgy in a snowstorm on every sheet of plain white paper) they could have come in through email, or email that was thought to have been deleted, or even personal-sourced images that were thought to have been deleted. Usually, when a file is deleted, only the links in the data structure are nulled out and the sectors are marked available in the sector map. If no data is subsequently written out to those sectors, the image content data will still be there. Alex Jones is not stupid enough to have used an old device out of his personal porn collection, from which he thought he had deleted all the images, as the device for his court submission, right?

But it is Alex Jones...

You once again have displayed for the Forum your obsession with
debauchery and deviant images that Liberals project of themselves....

Looks like Alex is gathering evidence for an insanity defense by public demonstration like Vincent Gigante did.
 
Playing out on the wing


When you have been working against the same guy most of the game
And you have made a few breaks inside to see how fast he is
And then you catch him looking the wrong way and quietly get by on the outside
And you know you’ll have him beat all the way to the line
And you teammate sees you and whips a well-timed diagonal out in front

And the defender is slow to respond….
 
My laptop's occasional crashes were getting more frequent, and then seemed to go away - until yesterday, when it seemed to become permanent. Now, while waiting delivery of its replacement, I am using my backup desktop, a top of the line machine back in 2007 or so when I bought it for my son's high school computer. Google Chrome turns up its nose and refuses to install itself, leaving only some crptic message about resources. Firefox runs and it is almost modern-looking, but if I open more than 2 tabs, it crashes (and knows it is crashing because it leaves me a message on the way out). Facebook will run in a crippled way under Firefox, after suggesting that I upgrade my browser for better performance. I am using the antique Internet Explorer now, under which Facebook runs in a quaint way - all the desired content with almost no advertising or click-bait sites intruding in my conversation with FB friends. I get a similar effect with SoCalSoccer - all the meat with no advertising. Maybe I will should stick with this for now.

Yesterday, after I was assured that the new one was on the way, I went over to the library to check my email (Yahoo mail won't load on this one). Then I went to Fry's San Marcos store to see if they had a cheap standby. I found an acceptable one - keyboard, 11-inch-diagonal display, Wifi, USB ports - for $157. I think that is about the unit cost of the first Z-80 microprocessors the company where I worked was buying back in the early 80's (adjusted for inflation). And that was just the processor, and not much of one - 8 bit data, 16-bit memory addressing, no multiplier, no floating point math - but we could make those things sing! Anyway, back to Fry's - there were no other customers in the laptop/notebook department, so a salesman eventually paid me some attention. He told me yes it was only $157, but it was only worth $157. I'm guessing he was paid on commision, and he was only going to get about a nickel on this one. As it turned out, they only had the one on display, and I didn't want to repeat that eror, so I left with all of us unsatisfied.
 
Ahhhhhhh…..

The new one arrived, with no announcement other than the thump of a carboard box being dropped outside our door. I took too long to set up, but now it is even better than the dearly departed ever was.
 
Stolen from my daughter's Facebook photos. The silver box with all the knobs is a Heathkit FM tuner and stereo amp I built in my Navy barracks room in 1970. The table is all redwood and screws (plus a couple of hidden galvanized fittings) that I made for her a couple of years ago. The turntable is the last working one I had.
