Reply to comment by feralfantastic in LARGE caravan of police and fire trucks SPEEDING up N Grant towards Kearney… by estevanrll

Listen, your hearts in the right place, but you’re having a temper tantrum about warning everyone to not do what no one is doing. Did you just watch Die Hard or something? Are you really trying to sell us on the idea that an active school shooter is going to have an AR in one hand and r/Springfield MO open in the other so they can get the drop on the boys in blue??!? Come on, Jack…

You had no idea what the situation was. This is an utterly mundane thing to do in what could be an active shooter situation. This is what we should be doing every single time something like this happens. The dipshit I was responding to was entirely out of line and clearly lost the thread, shifted goal posts, tried to bring in general coverage by KY3, really laughable except for the fact that he got a bunch of other idiots to agree with him.

Frankly, the fact that this could have been the sort of thing that ended with a bunch of people telling CNN “this kind of thing just doesn’t happen around here” and you’re using that to say my response wasn’t proportional to the risk, really makes it seem like you haven’t considered the effects of live social media coverage has on situations like these.

You do you, boo. I’ll buy you dinner anywhere you like if an active shooter kills a cop because they got a sitrep off a local town subreddit.
