1. A Yoga Studio for god sakes. A place of meditation and self-reflection. WTF

[Delphinus]

4. That's just

[still_one]

6. It's awful

[calimary]

16. No kidding. DAMN GUNS!

I fucking HATE guns.

[BeneathTheMire]

2. So terrible

Gillum is doing the right thing. I’m sure DeSantis will use this tragedy and spin it like he always does to say crime is running rampant in Tallahassee. DeSantis needs to fuck off forever after November 6.

3. Gillum is now my choice for 2020 presidential nominee.

He has what it takes on so many levels superior to obama in a sense he is not afraid to challenge face to face and accepts we do not accept negotiations with fascists and American nazis. Period.

5. Damn - my husband and I ate lunch in that complex last week

It was a church and the shops are where the classrooms were. The restaurant is in the basement under the sanctuary. It's a well run, up-scale complexbut we don't visit there very often

8. Thanks for sharing

I lived on N. Meridian Rd a couple of blocks north of Bradford for six years not very far from where this happened, before I moved back to Missouri.

10. Up near Lake Ella?

That's a great neighborhood.

I've lived outside of Tallahassee for forty years after living in Tallahassee for five. I remember when that place was a church!

[The Genealogist]

11. I lived north of Bradford, Lake Ella was south of Bradford

I did like that part of town. The park around Lake Ella was nice.

9. A yoga studio

Why? I don't get, I don't understand, I don't want to! What the fuck is wrong?

A bully pulpit with guns? Why?

[Tarc]

13. Would not be a but surprised that it was picked because it's Gillum's city

The GOP is running scared and desperate atm.

[grantcart]

19. Some right wing nut jobs think that yoga is a secret way to undermine Christianity

And introduce eastern religions

[Chellee]

12. I wonder if it will turn out to be domestic violence.

The shooter was aiming for a specific person, and everyone else was just in-between and inconsequential to the violence he came to inflict.

[mr_lebowski]

14. Collateral Damage, if you will?

Certainly seems possible. Jilted lover/ex-hubbie type deal? I'd say as likely as anything. Plus what was apparently immediate suicide ... that points to a very despondent person ...

I mean, a real 'mass murdering' type would've killed a lot more than 1 ... people in a yoga studio are completely sitting ducks is the reality ...
