Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. (midwest.social)

"The difference between the two is that there was no weapon here."

Source?

Edit: downvoting someone for asking to provide source for your claim. Guess we’re cool with making stuff up. To those interested: look into how Russia was caught with their Facebook farms setup in Africa to sow disinformation ahead of the 2016 election season.

I won’t feel bad for asking for legitimate source information.

Nothing conclusive I can see yet from AP etc, but it is a bit suspicious the universities and police are not responding/stonewalling requests for information from journalists, if they had no snipers how hard would it be to say there were no snipers?

Also a healthy skepticism isn't afraid of questioning sources I wouldn't apologize for it either, but it can also be a rhetorical tactic that sometimes is difficult to tell if it's genuine or not. Not an excuse just an observation.

I appreciate your candor and civility, it's much easier for us to talk and correct any miscommunications when we're at the same level. Thank you.

I totally agree, the whole thing screams PR/scrambling to quench any flames, rather than to just come forth with the raw, uncensored/stretched truth. We deserve to have that from our government at the very fucking least.
