We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

In the motion, prosecutors referred to an officer firing five times, but the document does not mention that officer or any ​other being shot. A spent cartridge was found in the suspect's shotgun, according to Wednesday's motion.

The document did not accuse Allen of aiming at or ​striking the Secret Service officer who authorities say was shot in the chest but protected by his body armor.

That contrasts with ⁠statements made earlier by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It also raises the question of who ​fired the round that struck the Secret Service officer.

I dont even know if American media is covering this so could be a surprise for people.

It's very simple. Get sloppy and make TONS of mistakes in paperwork and official documents to desensitize people to sources of record as reliable so that even when there IS abundant documentary evidence of wrongdoing, people don't believe it.

How many times have they been warned not to play gun tag in the lobby?

The ballroom would solve that problem /s

It is a massive underground data center built for surveillance and to run LLMs even in a post apocalyptic world.

Um, unless SS was also carrying shotguns, this should not be rocket science.

Protected from shotgun shell by body armor?

In close quarters situations the spread of buckshot would be negligible & a slug might not have enough penetration to punch through kevlar, so I would say it is feasible. That being said the energy would rearrange their insides pretty badly so possibly non-lethal but definetly would cause injury.
