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.

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

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