> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > It stopped the guy before he got into the dining room, so didn’t it work? I believe the only person the shooter hit was a cop wearing a protective vest which took the bullet, which is why the cops were there, and it sounds like they were properly equipped for this sort of thing. You can’t prevent an incident like this, the best you can do is mitigate the result of it, which seems to have happened. It’s possible that they **weren’t** set up properly, and got lucky, or the shooter acted in such a away that what could have been a tragic event was neutralized by his own ineptitude. I don’t know that there’s any way to know at this point. All we know is that he reportedly didn’t get far, he was subdued quickly, and nobody was seriously hurt. ---

A change of topic, but I thought folks might like to know how the booze industry is currently dealing with Trump’s remarks toward Canada.

Or you could go old school with [Ambrose Bierce](https://www.thedevilsdictionary.com/): > FAITH, _n._ Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > I have seen the more neutral _Faith is believing in something with no evidence to support its existence._ Except that’s _biased in favor_ of faith not neutral, give how people outright deny the facts in the name of faith all the time. Denying facts and logic is a point of pride among the faithful as it shows how strong your faith is. All those fossils were put there by Satan to decide people into believing in evolution, something scientists know but lie about because they’ve Satan worshipers, don’t you know.
