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

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.
