Heartbreaking story. But this stood out: "He was carrying two submachine guns." The guns are never mentioned again.
Elsewhere I found them described as "a Tommy style gun and MP5 style firearm."
Why would someone with clear behavioral and cognitive issues be allowed to have these?

When I think about my 24 years in journalism, there are few experiences I value more than appearing on KQED’s “This Week in Northern California” many times with Belva Davis, who died yesterday at 92.

Gotta hand it to @kaiser-permanente.bsky.social: I went to get a flu shot today in San Leandro, and it took me all of six minutes from check-in to exit. Fast, pleasant, professional.
I got my COVID jab last week, so now I can go on my fall and winter travels with an eased mind. I believe in science.

Holding a 5-year-old girl to force her father to come out of the house (because they lack a warrant to enter). These thugs are lowlife scum.

This week the pedo president:
❌kept using our military for extrajudicial murders
❌was found to have covered up his flunky's bribe-taking
❌shat on the First Amendment
❌ordered his AG to go after his political enemies
but thanks, mainstream media, for helping canonize racist propagandist Charlie Kirk.

A racist, LGBTQ-hating, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic fascist propagandist (apparently killed by an even *more* radical fascist) allowed to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda?
Oh FUCK no.
Tell Nancy Mace what you think of her plan to defile the Capitol.
