You folks need to learn to read between the lines. It’s obvious “Bowling Green Massacre” is anagram code for “Gorm clans grab weenies”, and I’m sure I don’t need to point out the significance of that. ---

> [@standingwave](#): > > Or as a distraction… While everyone is having fun with the B-G massacree (in harmony) Trump and his Goldman Sachs buddies are removing the safeguards put in place following the 2008 economic crash. Exactly. [Regulations are being removed](http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/03/investing/dodd-frank-executive-order-wall-street/index.html), putting us right back where we were when the financial collapse occurred. The corporations are looking forward to another great opportunity to rip off billions of dollars, and then get bailed out by the taxpayer. Golden parachutes for the entire board! Yay! ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Nonsense. Somebody rightly tweeted that they were shocked and dismayed at Frederick Douglass’s continuing silence about the Bowling Green Massacre. I don’t know why everyone is so insistent that Frederick Douglass is dead. He was just in a rap battle a few months ago: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/O-ZblMfZpuw/maxresdefault.jpg "Frederick Douglass vs Thomas Jefferson.

Well, there actually [was](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_High_School_shooting) a shooting in Bowling Green, KY. In 1997. Michael Carneal, 14, opened fire in Heath High School, killing three and wounding 5 others. Two interesting tidbits: 1. Stephen King had written a book called _Rage_ under the pen name of Richard Bachman. It was about a student who kills a few teachers and takes a class hostage. After the Heath High School shooting, King allowed it to go out of print. Carneal had a copy of this book in his locker at the time of the shooting. 2. My brother used to be a captain in the Kentucky prison system, and had an interaction or two with Carneal. Usually when he was taking an inmate to a court hearing. ---

I remember it well - Sinbad’s movie “Shazaam” was on HBO, and my girlfriend’s (she’s from Canada, you wouldn’t know her) pet snipe jumped up on the couch and stepped on the remote, switching the channel to GNN, and there it was. It was so horrible, I can’t describe it with words, only interpretive dance. The dance is so tragic and disheartening it’s banned in twelve states and British Columbia. ---

> [@steronz](#): > > I’m confused, won’t that be too late? The best time to stop fake terrorist attacks is before they happen! I’m already hearing reports that Trump has prevented coordinated attacks at 4 separate Bloomfield’s\* locations across the country.
