CityPlace Doral is known as a family friendly gathering place with bars, restaurants and a movie theater.

A shooting at a bar in a popular outdoor mall in a Miami suburb early Saturday left two dead and seven injured.

According to local law enforcement, an altercation at a martini bar at the CityPlace Doral complex broke out around 3:30 a.m. Saturday, prompting a security guard working the scene to intervene. A man involved in the altercation subsequently produced a gun and shot and killed the guard.

“You start hearing shots. And it wasn’t one. It was one after another, after another, after another,” recalled Peter Andres Jordan, who was in the bar at the time.

Two police officers then shot and killed the alleged gunman, but not before one officer and six bystanders — five men and a woman, according to police — were wounded in the shootout.

      There wasn’t much meat in that story. While it is suspicious that a Russian oligarch paid for a lifetime membership in the NRA , that is not the same thing as funneling money into the Trump campaign. Can you cite any others that have more substantive allegations around Russian money in the NRA?

      Before the more reactionary people attack me for being pro NRA, I most certainly am not. I just prefer to advance one or two solid arguments instead of a dozen mediocre or weak ones.

      Edit: And thank you for posting that. I did not know there was even that much suspicion on them for accepting Russian money, though it isn’t much of a surprise.

      Cool, fuck the NRA, I really don’t give a shit about that crap organization for FUDDs.

      What does history in the 80s have to do with solving our today problem? Ending the war on drugs, removing for profit prisons, ending qualified immunity, single payer healthcare and safety needs for the poor. all will have a bigger effect than trying to take guns away.
