An “extremely active” shooting situation is ongoing in Pittsburgh after authorities attempted an eviction, city spokesperson Maria Montano said Wednesday.

Shots are “continuing to be fired” after the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office tried to evict a resident in the Garfield area and the suspect opened fire on deputies, officials said.

    These days might as well… Go for it… there’s a war coming. America’s dead and not coming back. We had the mob try to get their guy in presidency… What the fuck more do you need to realize it’s not about us or for us. It’s all for them …it’s all for greed power and crime.

    You’re either a boss or a slave.

        You of course realize you can die that way without ever breaking a law or picking up a firearm?

        That might be why people are getting harder to deal with.

          Car accidents happen all the time, that is why at the first sign of a potentially dangerous situation, I quickly drive into a wall instead.

        When it’s a choice between a quick death-by-cop or a slow death from having to live on the streets, the choice can be simpler to make. :(

          You might be able to eventually improve your life and get off the streets. That won’t happen if you’re dead.

              I have one, the only plus was I still had a car to sleep in, at least for a little while before it got towed. Fun fact, I learned about the bank bailouts from my car radio while this was going down. I remember thinking that at this moment if I could I would detonate every nuke on earth and send us back to square one.

                I’m saying you seem to have no idea of how difficult it is to do because taxpayers don’t want to spend money on housing and social programs to help people get off the streets.

                  I never said it wasn’t difficult. Of course it’s difficult. You know what would make it impossible though? Being dead.

                    maybe you should go back and read what has been happening in this thread. neither of us could have been clearer but you don’t seem to want to understand the words in the order they’ve been presented.

        Better than dying hungry and delusional from heat and thirst on the street because you weren’t useful enough to the landed gentry.

          Again, there’s a possibility you’ll get off the streets which is not there if you’re dead.

          So many people here willing to let this person die for their cause.

        I mean if a cop is talking about a person, any person, the most likely thing they’re gonna say is “fuck 'em”

        Hard to have sympathy for that crowd. Fuck em.

      What makes America worse off today than 40, 100, 200 years ago? America didn’t die then when things were worse, there is no reason America would die now.

        Are things better? 40 years ago was 1983. You could buy a house on almost any income at the time you could go to school on a minimum wage salary.
