It was an active shooter presence at time of post. Police went into places in Manchester to look for him. That is quite literally an active shooter situation.

There was an active shooter in Manchester. The person shot someone and police were looking for him in Manchester. What can't you understand about this?

A great part of the game is role-playing your character! Essentially low-key acting. ‘Halloween for the mind’ for a few hours a week. It’s a blast.

I already have two different sessions a week, a third and my wife would kill me! Good luck and happy hunting though.

How much does that typically cost? Does the work include returfing the lawn?

Active scene is different than an active shooter.

Every step you take, every move you make…I’ll be watching you. That’s a stalker.
Another song about a stalker, or at least desperate/futile/unrequited love: Cake’s “The Distance.” There’s one guy still on the track, driving and striving as fast as he can, thinking of someone for whom he still burns…she’s hoping in time that her memories will fade…
EDIT - okay, to everyone downvoting me, what’s the song actually about then? It isn’t just about a race, it’s absolutely a metaphor, but for what?

They took their name from the book White Noise, and I think the event in that book was based on what happened in Donora. I’ve been meaning to watch the movie - I hear it’s good.

The slogan could have been written by a man or a woman. Most likely though it was written by a committee consisting of men and women that don't work for UPMC but their media consultant.
Whatever the case it seems pretty Orwellian.

This is more Big Brother than stalkery, I’d say.
But I’m 100% with you on the “women/POCs/disabled folks/other groups were clearly not in the room” game. Same with manels (all-male panels).

Dude…your title is “active shooter in Manchester” pointing out that there was no shooting in Manchester isn’t pedantic, but is actually accurate.

$25 to park is fair because it's very very limited parking with 2 lane roads leading to the venue. The more they charge for parking the more people will carpool or find alternative types of transportation.

I think the "law enforcement will be on site" was mentioned because people get shot in mass casualty events at music festivals and clubs in the US. And it happens a lot. It was meant to be reassuring, not creepy. I think some people avoid larger gatherings these days because of worry about a mass shooter .

I'll take all the downvotes you want to throw at this. This is creepy. If you can't see that this is creepy, then I can only conclude you are probably also creepy.

As long as it's over by 10 p it doesn't matter. They have concerts every Sunday there in the summer.

Jeez. Frankly it's very similar to the crap messaging I detested in the 2016 campaign.
"she's with me" > "I'm with her"
"we are seen" > "we see you"
