Yup. There's a Scotiabank branch on Sherbrooke (a few steps away from Sofitel) that has two ATMs side by side. Both let you choose 20, 50 or 100 denominations.

What I find morbidly humorous is that almost 200 trained police officers with equal firepower were scared of one teenager with an AR-15, but the general public or teachers that are supposed to be taking down an active shooter shouldn't be concerned about teenagers having access to AR-15s.

When this topic is actually broached, my experience is similar to what has been already said. A sister and/or Mom knows, but not Dad. The ones I find really intriguing are the ones that mention they have a boyfriend, as happened to me recently. I did not ask her if her boyfriend knows, nor did...

A few points about Shinzo Abe's assassination - people having a hard on and targeting heads of state/former heads of state is not new. It just happens less now because all the assassinations in history have led to improved security for presidents and prime ministers. - As Womaniser posted...

Last week, there was a road rage shooting near where I live. The genius opened fire on another car and hit the driver in plain view of a cop in a regular car. No, not an unmarked cop car, but the typical cop car with lights. I recount that story to say at this point if you think the verdict...

I came back to the thread to talk about Monday's shooting only to find out I've been missing some truly amazing doozies like when CLOUD500 said being searched for weapons before entering a Detroit club is a tactic from Communist so and so place. As apocryphal as your suggestion is, Cloud, being...

There's an indy that I find super delicious but she has no reviews that I know of. If I book her for a couple of hours, I'd also be out at least $900. For this reason, she's a no. I've seen a few agency ladies sans reviews. Nearly all of them were excellent decisions on my part, but I'm not...

If you need any more proof at where the problem lies, here's some more. The price for a Republican negotiating bipartisan (and very, very incremental) legislation to control gun violence is being booed and labeled a "RINO."...

Haha it's like you're in my head with this post. I recently stumbled on a new (to me) SP and decided to check out her Twitter. I can honestly say this SP was the first Twitter I've seen that helped me make up my mind NOT to see her. So social media as a whole is a time waster, but seeing how an...

For people like Fradi who insist on "Both Sides" the resistance to gun control, here's another (in a million) data point: https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/republican-congressman-quits-race-backlash-211606615.html

Sene5hos, I just read that there was a church shooting in Iowa. Shooter killed two before killing himself. The mass casualty incidents always get sufficient coverage but incidents like these smaller ones (nonetheless horrible) get less coverage despite being even more common than the likes of...

Fradi, you have to make a distinction because the devil is always in the details. For example, even if there's a Democratic majority in the House that passes a "modest" (as in it doesn't particularly address a factor in a mass shooting) gun control bill, the nature of the Senate filibuster...

Beat me to it. The updated victim count is now 4. Sometimes, it's worth looking at the enablers of all this tragedy. Republicans (voters and representatives) are doing the requisite song and dance and crocodile tears right now, but that's about it. To them, the tragedies are just the bearable...

I'm glad you posted this because it neatly delves into what I was going to say: anything short of severely limiting semiautomatic guns of all kinds (not just AR-15s) in civilian hands is us fooling ourselves that we're doing "something." Time and time again, the gun acquisition process is so...

Has it already been reported that the shooter was mentally ill? (I'm purposefully keeping myself at arms length from the details). Even if it was mental illness, if there hasn't been some adjudication process about the illness, the background check won't catch it. Apparently, you're also...

The "right to bear arms" people always ignore the aggressor's element of surprise is as much a potent weapon as the gun themselves. It doesn't matter if you're equally armed or if the cops show up in minutes. It's impossible to anticipate a mass shooter every waking minute of every hour. The...

I'm a parent. The idea that several parents only sent their kids to school today and some of those kids aren't coming back was too much for me to process without getting emotional. I'm tired. I'm so fucking tired.

It's gotten to the point that mass shootings don't get as heavy media coverage if like, say 3 people die. That's how accustomed we are to gun violence in the US. But I guess if you cast gun violence as something that primarily plagues the black community, then I guess it means we don't have to...
