Get over your pretentious self Tim Scott. Insecure much?
Tim Scott says
Nope, but thanks for asking.
Smh says
How much you want to bet? He rented the gun he used to kill himself..
Laughing says
That is a really sad thought.
Tim Scott says
Not nearly as sad as how easy it would been to rent a gun and shoot someone else instead. Or a bunch of someone elses.
Laughing says
Happy thoughts Tim, happy thoughts. You have been getting a bit dark lately.
Tim Scott says
Dark times…but I seem to be my same cheerful self in real life so I’m not too worried.
Besides, “nut shoots bunch of people at shooting range” would certainly be a brighter headline than “nut shoots bunch of people at airport” or nightclub, or wherever.
Laughing says
Unless of course the folks at the range are Olympic contenders and the ones at the airport were mules, dodgy business owners, and dirty politicians. Or the night club was filled with vampires, dealers, and mob.
