If you want to. Don't put yourself in any unnecessary danger though.

 

[Fandom Trash]

Hopefully everyone makes it out okay.

Its not easy going through an event like this.

Most news coverage are now just talking about this.

If you want to. Don't put yourself in any unnecessary danger though.

No one has ever chosen a better place to take people hostage. I'd be in there eating those chocolate covered almonds for the next three weeks.

He surrendered. In custody.

 

[GnomeofDoc]

He surrendered. In custody.

Oh. That was boring.

 

[Okkervils]

Oh. That was boring.

Yeah.
Oh, and he's black. Or at least a dark Hispanic. He may have been injured as they put him on a stretcher and transported him to the hospital. He was walking fine though.

 

[OhGoy]

Yeah.
Oh, and he's black. Or at least a dark Hispanic. He may have been injured as they put him on a stretcher and transported him to the hospital. He was walking fine though.

>perpetrator was probably black
>"niggo" not being one of the poll options

@CWCissey confirmed hack fraud

 

[Broseph Stalin]

He surrendered. In custody.

Well, that was quick.

Yeah.
Oh, and he's black. Or at least a dark Hispanic.

In that case, we might barely hear a word about it from the MSM.

 

[thismanlies]

They probably told the gunman he could loot the store if he let the hostages go.

 

[wellthathappened]

So "just some dumbass" wins the poll.

Feel good about my vote.

Quick, someone call Cobr.... what? What do you- what do you mean he surrendered? He can't do that! I haven't had a chance to post my snarky clip from Cobra! Fuck you, you chickenshit IRL hostage taker, ruining my shitposting!

(srsly though, glad it didn't turn out worse.)
