It was deemed too dangerous by the powers that be, so it was banned from app stores, the extension was banned by Firefox and Chrome, etc.

I kind of like that honestly. No doubt you need some documentation so everyone knows what the service abbreviations are, but after you've been working there for a month you get it. Makes everything clean, consistent, and informational. You can quickly ascertain what a specific host is doing just from the name.

Anyone else totally fine with spaces in filenames? I use to rip a lot of CDs back in the day, and never had an issue with the spaces in the file names.

01 - Metallica - Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls.mp3

Names like that were common, and had many spaces.

>The definition of "active shooter" is "there's someone running around shooting people".

No it's not: The United States Department of Homeland Security defines an active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims."[0]

Even if it was, I'm glad that definition excludes the events that transpired when Rittenhouse was attacked.

>Self-defense comes into play at charging time and in the courtroom, as it is now.

Self-defense came into play when he defended himself against assailants.

>The cops role during the shooting incident is to stop the shooting and detain whoever's doing it.

Non sequitur.

>Until they do, it's an active shooter incident.

That is not what an active shooter scenario is.

>He had just shot two people

He had just defended himself against two assailants.

>was still armed

But not threatening or brandishing.

>and proceeded to shoot a third shortly after.

And proceeded to defend himself against a third assailant.

>That fits every definition of “active shooter” I’ve ever seen.

Fits practically no definition of "active shooter".

He was not an active shooter, he was a victim fleeing, so, no.

>Most homes have a basement or a crawl space.

Not sure if this is true or not in total, but in the Southern US, the vast majority of houses have neither.

>Meechan was arrested

Technically if you're arrested you're thrown in jail (overnight or for a few days).
