There was a mass shooting at UVA last night. Three stars of its football team were shot to death. The man believed to be responsible is in custody. I believe he was a former member of the football team but he was cut.

I had to recently get an operation. Two inguinal hernias.
I ended out paying out of pocket, for reasons not related to Colombia's situation. But I paid $900. Sure, an outpatient procedure, but it was a full clinical procedure.
That means, 9 units of insulin.
You need to re-design your entire medical system.

Four University of Idaho students found dead near campus have been identified
Police said officers were responding to a report of someone unconscious when the victims were discovered.

Nov. 13, 2022, 10:01 PM EST / Updated Nov. 14, 2022, 4:32 PM EST
By Dennis Romero and Erik Ortiz
Authorities on Monday identified the four students from the University of Idaho found dead at an off-campus residence.

Police in the city of Moscow declined to release additional details surrounding the deaths, which are being classified as part of a homicide case but said the bodies were found Sunday after officers responded to a call for an unconscious individual.

Upon entering the home on King Road, located about a half-block from campus and in a neighborhood where university students and members of Greek organizations reside, Moscow police said they found four people dead.

They were identified as: Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Washington; Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Arizona; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho.

Police said Monday that they had no suspect in custody, but had no reason to believe there was a continued risk to the community "based on information gathered during the preliminary investigation."

Still, the discovery of four dead students has rattled the school and surrounding community and came as another incident across the country involving three slain students at the University of Virginia sparked a manhunt for the gunman.

On Sunday evening, the University of Idaho sent an alert asking its community to shelter in place or stay away from campus as a suspect was "not known at this time." The shelter-in-place request was lifted about an hour later.

University of Idaho President Scott Green also wrote an email saying he did not believe there was a continuing threat.

But they vote GOP. And the GOP will never create or expand any program that will assist in mental health or social support.
So, Catch-22. Unless they think about their real needs, it seems rural America is stuck with this issue.

So this is what I saw when I went back on the bird app just now:




Naturally I go WTH? Scroll up and found this.



The memorial services for the three UVA football players were just held.

But maybe Hunter Biden's laptop will have the solution for gun violence.
