Police and emergency personnel are responding to reports of a shooting in Dayton, Ohio.

Multiple people were shot in the Oregon District neighborhood on Saturday night, according to local media. A Dayton police dispatcher would not confirm the reports, telling HuffPost only that they had “nobody available to talk right now.”

The reported attack came hours after at least 20 people were killed in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, and less than a week after a gunman opened fire at a garlic festival in California, killing three people including two children.

and after a few days they'll keep going with the anti-immigrant racism with limbaugh leading the way, and many of them will be endorsed by public universities that keep broadcasting sports on them.

they're going to blame the victims, and they will say this is just another nut who's not like responsible gun owners, and they will warn that democrats will use it as another excuse to take away your guns

they did it after columbine and after sandy hook.... that is why the republicans are too intimidated and will keep obstructing anything democrats propose

it won't stop until democrats stop ignoring talk radio.

that only a rw radio monopoly can do.

constituents living in areas where the 20-1 republican radio monopoly has dominated to 30 years, where it's the only free easy politics while driving ,working, or doing chores

they create constituencies based on lies hate and racism, and because it's an overwhelming well policed and protected monopoly immune from true 'market demand' for that hate and lies and racism it should not be considered part of the free speech spectrum. they would be considered an illegitimate constituency in a real democracy, represented by a small minority with very loud radio and social media amplification

it used to be for the GOP and its think tanks but the kremlin got more and more influence through WND guys like corsi, breitbartnews, manafort, etc it was probably the russians who wrangled palin, the tea party, climategate, etc

it could be destroyed with a few protests at some of the 88 universities that support 260 of the loudest ones, as well as using AI to do stoprush x 100.

as soon as the ad industry, which wants those ears, has to ask clients if they really want to support trump, global warming, racism, etc - the monopoly will fall apart and trump and puting won't be able to use it to, for instance, amplify and promote a major ebola scare to be able to call a national emergency to close the borders and call off the election.

that's what they're using these radio stations for now and democratic and prog org leadership are idiots for continuing to ignore it

9. Why did I wake up? SHOOTING IN OHIO, FIRST REPORTS: AT LEAST 7 PEOPLE KILLED
Sun Aug 4, 2019, 03:33 AM
Aug 2019

First reports indicate that a live shooter opened fire in a bar located in Dayton, Ohio around 1:55 a.m. Ohio time (8:55 a.m. Israel time) using a semi-automatic weapon, killing at least seven people and injuring 24, according to Israeli and US media sources.

A tweet indicated that the shooter had been injured. The El Paso shooter killed 20 people and injured 26 others in a Walmart store before he was arrested by law enforcement. He is reported to be a 21-year-old white male.

Less than 20 minutes before the attack, the alleged murderer posted a hate-manifesto online that accused the Hispanic community of hijacking the US and its white values.

“This is the last generation of white babies” in America, read the online manifesto.

The Ohio shooting story is still developing.

DAYTON —


A shooting with multiple fatalities and several people wounded has occurred at or near Ned Peppers Bar on East Fifth Street in the city of Dayton’s Oregon District. Here’s the latest:

Content Continues Below
UPDATE @ 3:54 a.m.:

Liz Long, Kettering Health Network spokeswoman, said the hospital has received victims from the shooting, but they have no information on numbers or patient conditions yet, as their focus is on treating the patients.

UPDATE @ 2:59 a.m.:

Sources are telling us there are at least 10 people dead and an unknown number of wounded. We’re working to confirm some eyewitness accounts that a person who was denied entry into the bar opened fire.

In a public Facebook post from a person named James Williams: “Sad people are not right. I’m safe. Happened right in front of the patio where I was sitting in front of Neds. The guy in front of Ned Peppers’ door is the active shooter.

. . .

“He tried to go into the bar but did not make it through the door. Someone took the gun from him and he got shot and is dead.

“There are at least eight people dead right by the picnic table where I was on the street. A bunch of people taken to the hospital. I don’t know how any... this place is a disaster.”

UPDATE @ 2:24 a.m.:

Unconfirmed reports via police and fire scanners are indicating there may be as many as seven dead and an unknown number of victims wounded in a shooting at or near Ned Peppers Bar, in the 400 block of East Fifth Street.

Those scanner reports, also unconfirmed, are indicating that police are searching for a possible second shooter who may have left the area.

Asking for help doing research of current events is one of the benefits in a community like this.

I understand the violence is disturbing. I understand mass death is a valid reason to be upset. I'm not sure why asking for facts in the matter is problematic or the reason for your anger. Nor is the person asking your enemy.

People do irrational acts all of the time. Not all shooter motivations fit the same narrative. It's not unreasonable to want to know what motives were before categorizing it as white nationalism, a lover's quarrel, someone's bucket list, religious extremism, drugs, or a meatloaf recipe.

The user is simply looking for answers where none could be found and simply wanted to know if anyone else had success.

Does anyone know much about the place? Obviously, it must be a place with quite a bit of nightlife, to have crowds of people out after 1:00 A.M. I know nothing about it, but my first thought was to wonder if it was an a) African-American or b) LGBTQ community. Using a "long gun" instead of a pistol or revolver sure doesn't sound like the modus operandi of someone who just got in a drunken brawl that spontaneously escalated.

UPDATE @ 7:39 a.m.: There have been 26 people wounded or injured in the shooting carried out wearing body armor, Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said.

The shooter, who has not been identified, used a .223-caliber high-capacity magazine rifle and was wearing a mask or covering over his face.

“If the Dayton police had not gotten to the shooter in under a minute, hundreds of people in the Oregon District would be dead today,”
Whaley said.“This is the 250th mass shooting in America,” she said. “It’s sad that it’s in the city of Dayton.”

where the whole world goes into meltdown, overwhelmed with mindless violence.

It scares me that I'm not shocked anymore. I should be horrified and outraged each time, but my senses are on overload and I find myself feeling numb, as if I am watching the same movie over and over again.
