It’s undoubtedly plain old antisemitism, but there is at least one lawsuit out there claiming abortion restrictions are impinging on the rights of Jews to follow their religion and have an abortion to protect the life of the mother. ---

The alleged perp’s mother has issued a statement that he had been fixated on a coming nuclear war and need for a bunker, and that he’s not of sound mind. Well, that much is obvious. At the same time, yeah, loudly proclaiming in the real estate listing about how the “_2,000 square-foot shelter is built 26′ underground and can “withstand a Seismic 12 earthquake” and it has two escape tunnels_” doesn’t help keep a low profile. Oh, and a “seismic 12”?? OK, the intensity scale (which uses roman numerals) maxes out at XII, so I suppose it means that – though at that point a shelter with indestructible walls becomes a cocktail shaker and I would not trust your access hatches and ventilation pipes will stay intact. Meanwhile in the open-ended magnitude scale (formerly Richter), which is exponential, a 12 is something beyond any recorded human experience. That’s the fuckin’ extinction asteroid hitting. (But that _has_ always been something in my mind – and to be fair, from what I’ve been able to gather, in the minds of the more serious-minded preppers: what do you do about the guy(s) whose plan is to seize _your_ prep assets? In this particular case, ISTM bunkering under under your highly visible high-value mansion will only be any good until the heathens locate your air intake – better to have your shelter somewhere out of the way in the hills. ) ---

It’s a potential selling point or selling liability (sort of like a pool in many areas). Apparently, its existence was not well-know prior to that time. He had decided to unload the house, so advertising one of its features wouldn’t normally be a problem - just ran into someone who wanted to steal it (although what that plan was is beyond me). Of course, even if he had sold it before getting attacked, the advertising had destroyed the ‘secret bunker’ value for the new owner. Not sure how you go about finding people who want to buy your secret bunker without it no longer being a secret. ---

As I read the article, he had assumed that the only people who would see the listing would be those who were in the market for a multi-million dollar house. It was the fact that the ad went viral (almost certainly because of the bunker) that led to it being seen by a much wider audience. ---

Srsly. Zillow, for instance, has a Twitter feed called ZillowGoneWild where houses that have something unusual about them (in many sense of the word) or are just REALLY expensive are posted, and they are far from the only ones. My main curiosity is how did the alleged shooter think he was going to get legal title to the house? I suppose he could have been expecting the rocket to go up at any minute but still. Even if he’d succeeded in killing everyone in the house, there’d be maybe 2 days before someone did a wellness check. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Trans woman in Georgia is suing Chick-fil-a because they wouldn’t do anything when one of her coworkers sexually harassed her when he thought she was assigned female, and then homophobically when he found out she was trans. Since we already covered how awful this is, I have to ask about her job description. She was hired as a Director of Operations, but was doing hourly shift work at a single store? How does that work? In order the get the director job, you have work your way up the ladder for twenty years to get there? Sounds a bit like waiting for the french fry guy to die so you can move up. ---

I can’t seem to verify this online anywhere but a bit of recent news out of Kankakee involved two stolen cars and a test drive. A couple who took a Mustang out for a test drive and never returned was pulled over for stealing the vehicle. They told the police, in essence, “We didn’t steal the car! We were on our way to get money to pay for it! Honest!” The other stolen car? That’s the one they left at the dealership. ---
