Quote: Police in Colorado Springs cannot confirm reports that a gunman who shot and wounded several people near a Planned Parenthood clinic in the city on Friday was "contained," or rule out the possibility that hostages were taken, a police spokesman said.
"We do not know if he is contained," Colorado Springs Police Department spokeswoman Lieutenant Catherine Buckley told reporters.
Asked whether any hostages were taken, Buckley said: "There is that possibility." Her comments were broadcast on Fox News.

Quote: Police Lt. Catherine Buckley said authorities also did not know where the gunman was located or whether the shooter had taken any hostages.
"We can't confirm where the shooter is at this point," she said.
Asked if the shooter had taken hostages, Buckley told reporters: "There is that possibility. There are a lot of possibilities with this scenario."
Authorities received a call of shots being fired at the Planned Parenthood clinic before noon.
Responding officers exchanged gunfire with the shooter, Buckley said, adding that it was not known if the shooting had any connection to Planned Parenthood. Police: Location of gunman in Colorado shooting is unknown
So nothing is really known or confirmed yet.

We now need a 'random shooting' thread.
I'm with you Chanti, it's looking pretty bleak.

"We do not know if he is contained," Colorado Springs Police Department spokeswoman Lieutenant Catherine Buckley told reporters.
You don't *** know?
You've got him contained or you don't. If you don't have him contained, sure you might not know the exact hostage situation, but if you don't know that you have him contained, you know that you *** don't have him contained.

Watching the official police briefing going on now.
It sounds like the person still has hostages and police have not had any voice contact with him. No word on demands at this time.
Apparently this started at the PP building. That's all they will confirm.
A witness on the local news, who was told by police to stay in her car, saw a vehicle drive up and the driver got out and appeared to have been shot multiple times.
Apparently the suspect brought some items and has them set up inside the PP building and outside of it. No information on what these devices are.

It's really different. GrindadrĂ¡p is an event in Far Oer islands where they kill whales for no reason at all. They force them into a bay and then the entire population gather with maces to make a pulp out of them and they don't even use the dead whales in any way. They do it for giggles, it's disgusting. I've seen videos of children jumping on dead whales and hitting them while people around them cheered and clapped.
That's obviously forbidden by EU laws, but the danish government doesn't do crap about it. They actually shoot activists if they see them.
Japan at least makes money off the whales.

They do actually eat the whale meat and blubber though I doubt they eat all that they kill
Extremely unnecessary to hunt whales these days.

They don't sell it in restaurants(anymore). Whale meat is also extremely unhealthy it gives you mercury poisoning.
