re: Active Shooter Mall of LA Dicks sporting goods...UPDATE insde

Gunshots in the atrium where the food court is, echoing throughout the entire mall like that, I'm sure it would sound odd inside Dillards.
I'm usually pretty aware of my surroundings, but was distracted by whatever I was doing at that exact moment. I wasn't particularly focused on sounds outside of my direct environment, but given how far it was from me and the echoing it makes sense that it didn't immediately sound like shots popping off.
Dillard's emergency preparedness plan of action for something like this left a LOT to be desired. Couple of ER nurses were in the group and one was furious with the way it was handled.
I think I even heard someone on the intercom telling employees to get back to their departments before it was obvious that the threat was over. Sounded like employees were being told to go back to work. Mixed messages all over the place. LSP (strapped with Bushmasters (?)) were telling people to leave while being told by management to stay.

The carousel lady described one shooter shooting people at random. Stories don’t match up.
I was in Dillards when shite went down. At one point I was near an employee talking with EBR deputies afterwards who described a single black male running through the store carrying what she thought was a gun and exiting through the lower level exit in the men's department.
Initially, it sounded to me like something very large had dropped to the ground a couple of times. Didn't sound like gunfire to me, but someone near me said it was definitely gunshots.

This is so tiring. Of course some players got paid but it was less than 5% of what it is now, and at least back then you had to work for it to try and keep it a secret.
Reading comprehension is fundamental or maybe I needed to be more clear.
I’m not talking about players being paid to play college football by the schools or donors. I’m talking about the fact that STUDENT-athletes have gone the way of the Dodo bird (extinct) for decades. Kids have been playing college football/basketball only as a means to get paid in the pros and not to get an education with the hopes of getting drafted to THEN get paid.

Your buddy must be a time traveler who just got back from 1990s-early 2000s because CFB hasn’t been “pure” (i.e. playing simply for a future paycheck) in a long time.

Not trying to be contrarian. Just found it didn't meet my expectation.

i think it's a good Bourbon. It's smooth and drinkable.
Gasoline is drinkable too, but smooth is not a word I'd use in my description of Blantons. Burned like fire compared to other options I've had.
Better neat than with a splash of water. Water actually made it burn more.

I have tried listening to others, but he was the perfect mix of wit, sarcasm, humor, and info. There will never be another.
Voice aside (didn't bother me much) Mark Steyn was the closest to Rush in these aspects IMO.
Too bad he couldn't get the nod after Rush's passing.

100% this.
I'll go to my death bed believing that the only decent replacement would have been Mark Steyn.
Despite the voice he was the best mix of biting humor/sarcasm and political insight outside of Rush.

Decent bourbon, I like it, but definitely overrated and overpriced.
Just finished a bottle about a month ago.
Frankly, I think you’re being generous saying it’s decent.
I thought it sucked for the buzz, no pun intended, it generates.
Probably wouldn’t waste another dollar on it. Eagle Rare is way better for less money.

than the one at Florida and S. Foster in terms of how beat up it is?
Hole E shite it would make the sturdiest off road rig/rock crawler driver think twice about crossing.
If there’s one worse I’d be stunned.

My absolute go to when I eat at Louisiana Lagniappe with an order of Oysters Lagniappe as an appetizer.
Hell, I’d go to LL for the house salad alone.
I was worried about a drop in quality after Ortego sold it, but I was not disappointed last time I was there. Kevin said nothing would change and at least the time I was there, I didn’t notice a difference.

I’ve probably had multiple moments, but the one I’ll never forget was after winning a big new account in Broussard.
On the way back to BR, the office leader and I stopped at the Popeyes buffet and instead of my normal 3 piece (sometimes 4 piece) combo, I put away 8 pieces to celebrate.
It was disgusting and glorious all at once.

Man, I was hoping this was the Baton Rouge Miracle League. I’d be all over it if it was.
An old coach of mine is/was involved in the one here and my son is autistic (doesn’t participate in, but he could) and I’d gladly participate.

Indeed. I don’t usually get too upset by a celebrity or famous person dying, but this one stings even though there’s no personal relationship with him. :wah:
Just a genuine person with a seemingly endless love for people and wanting to see them make the best of themselves. Great coach and motivational speaker.
This one really sucks.
