Eerie juxtaposition of evocative images: Shooting victims and gun show billboard
I saw, on one of the teevees at my gym, video of the Palm Beach, FL shooting at a Wendy's. It was on CNN-HL. The vantage point was a newz chopper. As he was circling the scene, into view came the police tending victims on the ground and, immediately next to the Wendy's, and in clear view, a billboard advertising a gun show.

I'm not here to debate gun laws. This is simply reporting what, to me, was a jarringly ironic image.

I wonder if anyone got a screen capture of that.
