I wonder if any of these will target people that commit gun violence? It will also be interesting how the courts handle EOs that put limits on a constitutional right

He knows. This is all KC does. He brings up race even if it isn't relevant to the topic, he will what about even if he has to go back 30-40 years, and when all else fails bring up abortion

Because there are no posters that only mention white crimes that fit a liberal narrative?

Yes, I was just messing with him. Imagine the tweets had a white Trump supporter shot 5 blacks in Rock Hill.

Yikes.  Either someone got fired or someone didn't get their package.  Probably got fired.

I remember years ago there used to be a phrase, "going postal" when someone got angry.

I had several buddies in the Postal Service, they hated that phrase.

I remember first hearing the phrase when they caught the fired postal worker at the Centerfield Sports Bar and Grill who killed two people:

yep, it was a thing for a few years. not sure why so many postal workers got so bent that they felt the need to go on shooting rampages.

You can concealed carry in Indiana but I bet FedEx bans guns from their sorting facility. Too bad because somebody could have saved a lot of lives.

I don't know their policy but most of these shooters choose a soft target.

Media just got the biggest boner of the year.  I'm sure they are hoping it's a white guy.

story on the news this morning said employees are not allowed to carry a cell phone into the building.

one employee reportedly headed for his car once the shooting began. he had a weapon in his car and was planning on using it to put the shooter down. he ended up being shot and killed according to the reporter covering the story.

I get not allowing any and every employee to just be armed while at work but large operations for companies that have a lot of money and assets could easily afford security measures that would mitigate the devastation that these events bring.  These shooters often have goals to kill as many as possible so they will be less likely to do it in a place with little to no resistance. I've read that this facility did have some good security measures so he didn't get very far into the facility. I think four of the dead were killed outside.
