Yeah, but I'm not sure why it warrants 4 amber alerts from RCMP when I live more than 50kms away....

I was pretty pissed when I opened my iphone at 6:20 AM after it belched at me, and there was nothing to read.  The alert disappears if you login to the phone after nailing the button to squelch it's noise.  I appreciate the alert, but only after a few hours when the news cycle caught up and I was able to figure out what was going on.

I'm a lot more disturbed by some douche killing people for no other reason than their position in society.

Shouldn't this be in the first world problems thread?

My favorite was the final ALERT!!! Just to tell you everything is fine, don't worry no news to report.

Someone needs to take away the emergency button from that operator.

Why can't we have more cool shootings like shitty ex-heads of state being off'd with a homemade electric blunderbuss? That was awesome! 

Shootings should be like comedy. If you're gonna do it punch up at least!

If you want comedy gold, look up the interview with the Colorado Springs shooters dad. Dude was concerned about why his son would be at a gay club, finds out the kid shot 5 people to death. His reaction - "Phew, at least he isn't gay".

Oh wait, he was serious ... not comedy.

Finding out he was a snow boarder would have been worse

Holy crap. You can't make this shit up. Dad's brain is fried for sure.
