Re: Fedex shooting
Gates always open at that one. It's a drop and hook. We drop an empty trailer in the yard and pick up whatever is on the loaded one, usually still backed into their dock. I've been to it several times over the years and never seen security. I usually just go to the office and they print out the paperwork, while a dock worker seals up the trailer. I've been impatient and done it myself already though.

For the record, I'm not an employee of theirs. They may have rules and such for employees, but I've never been questioned at that one about anything or had to go through security to get in.

Re: Fedex shooting
One of the problems in politics is the unwillingness to be Honest. The politicians LIE to satisfy the voters and the Voters never check deeply enough to see that the candidate is lying, rather that simply expressing their true beliefs (or character). It's eye-opening to compare the messages of the candidates when they speak before different and competing voter groups. Pandering for votes is nothing new, but comparing those varied messages exposes the tendency of the candidate to lie. Some candidates have done it so long, they can't speak at all without lying (Hillary, Schiff, Schumer, et al).
We should have high ideals for the candidates we vote for - But we have to deal with the fact that most candidates are flawed, like the rest of us. That means some are weak in subject D while strong in subject A, B & C. While another candidate may be strong in subject A, C & D but weak in subject B. In the end, we all end up voting for flawed candidates that do not have the high ideals we should want for them. But that's no reason to give up on the high ideals.
However, some candidates ARE MUCH MORE FLAWED than others, critically flawed, like lacking a commitment to America and its legitimate citizens (Biden, AOC, Omar, Pelosi, et al).
We should have high ideals for the candidates we vote for - but not be blind, deaf & dumb about their flaws. Being accurately observant and honest about their strengths and weakness should neither cause us to vote randomly instead of intelligently, nor should we be embarrassed to have voted for someone that was the best choice at the time, but made mistakes while in office.
It's a matter of whether they will attempt to correct their mistakes or just continue to lie about them.
Trump made mistakes - no doubt - but he did MANY, MANY MORE THINGS RIGHT compared to the Presidents of the past 20 years.
ETA (on topic): It really is a shame that someone so young is willing to destroy their lives (and the lives of others). No matter the color of the perpetrators, it should shock us that kids are throwing their lives away. Too much of society has a detrimental affect on kids these days without them having some countervailing influence in their lives. The fact that so many people, not just kids, only obtain their sense of value and self-worth from those around them is a real revelation of the need for belief in God (a higher power) that provides positive value for themselves, irrelevant of what others are saying or doing around them.

Re: Fedex shooting
Hmm, I worked for many years with several guys from India when I worked for IBM and Lockheed Martin. I never considered them Asian Americans, and I don't remember anybody ever calling them that. They definitely weren't part of the affirmative action program. Only the rich Indians come to the US to study and work.

Re: Fedex shooting
Could you dumb this down for me? I encountered quite a few Asian Indians on the job and I actually asked one of them what he puts on his job application for race. His response was, "Asian". And those that I encountered were certainly not from the wealthy caste, they were minions who came here for a better life. The situation that they left never entered the discussions as it did with the African immigrants that I encountered, I asked them a few questions on where they left and why. I also asked them if they hated the white man and they all said, "NO!"
