Joey was a long distance trucker, among other things. In 2019, he brought a load onto Fort Drum, NY. Security checked his cab and found a loaded handgun. He was arrested for Criminal Possession of a Fire Arm, since it wasn't registered in NY. He plead out to Disorderly Conduct, paid a $200 fine and was released. Make of that what you will.

[@patmcbride9853]

When they keep the motive from the public, it's usually because it doesn't fit the narrative. Like the (one of several) trans shooter who had a manifesto that was only recently released and not well covered by the media.

It's true. Reporters are pretty much tasked with being able to effectively communicate words, sentences, and the meanings behind them. If a person doesn't know a word, here's the professional tip of the day: LOOK IT UP. It takes less than six seconds to do so. These days, every human has 24-hr. access to monumental digital dictionaries, thesauruses, fact checks, etc. #ThereIsNoExcuse

Domestic terrorism is too common but we’re too afraid to do anything about it.

[@SoFunMe]

It would be great if news reporters would give more information upfront. The initial reports said the shooter had an "assault-type" weapon like an AR-15. Now we learn that is not true, he used a long-barrel shotgun that he had to reload. It was not pump-action. Also, when they release the shooter's name, they should also release information about him like prior criminal records and mental health interventions. These acts make the public feel unsafe and not releasing information leaves people afraid and anxious about 'why' it occurred. The public will be seeking information about the shooter and his motive for this crime for weeks. Rather than reporting information, the police and government "control the information" and suppress it. We need more aggressive reporting...

[@autumnfragrance6326]

It was a pump action shotgun with a tubular magazine

The obligatory autoloading pistols fire from magazines, and internal magazine rifles can feed from stripper or en bloc clips. There is a difference.

[@MrStaybrown]

True, ​@hithere7382 , thank you. It definitely is magazine fed, not a stripper CLIP.

[@DC-bk6ep]

Always one of y’all making this idiotic comment. Let me put you in perspective. First of all it’s a MAGAZINE not a clip. Second this was an active shooter. So more than likely the responding law enforcement officers were probably keeping distance between them and the shooter. The more distance from the target makes it way more difficult to “unload their clips on him”. They were probably taking aimed shots at the bastard and once he was hit and faced resistance he probably dropped his weapon and surrendered. There fore “unloading their clips” was not warranted.
