Last night's shooting---so called experts were clueless and stated things

that proved to be false.
I was watching CNN last night and they brought on 'Joe Hapleblap', some 'expert' on urban assaults or some such thing. He said there were surely at least 4 shooters who used triangulation and guerilla tactics in a well planned assault. I think he was insinuating it was ISIS. Of course we know Trump and his boys were hoping for an ISIS attack as well.

My point is--do not trust the media during such a crisis.

Woke up this morning to read a more thought out timeline of events minus the Clint Van Zants out there.

The speculative bullshit was flying fast and furiously.

Gotta fill up the airspace, mostly with irresponsible rubbish.

These journalism "standards" are about as ethical as real-estate techniques learned at Trump University.
