Mass Shooting at Video Game Tournament in Jacksonville Leaves Multiple Dead:

Multiple people were killed in a mass shooting during a video game tournament at a shopping and dining complex in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Sunday afternoon. Preliminary reports say four people were killed of the 11 people who were shot at the Jacksonville Landing, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the incident.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said on Twitter there were "multiple" fatalities and "many" transported to hospitals. One suspect was dead at the scene, the Sheriff's Office said, and it was not known if there was another suspect.

Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida is treating at least three patients that were involved in the gaming shooting incident, Hospital spokesman Pete Moberg tells CNN. All of the patients are in stable condition, Moberg says.

    The order restricting Defcad [defcad.com] from posting downloadable files expires on Tuesday. The judge might issue a permanent injunction on Monday. So definitely expect a submission on that topic within the next 48 hours.

    I went to watch the oral arguments last week. The judge said he would get the order out the day before the temporary order expires, which means we should see it on Monday (order expires Tuesday). Based on his questioning of the AGs' attorney (two softballs and side comment) compared to his relentless grilling of the Fed's attorney, I expect he'll extend the restraining order and has used the last week to think up some bullshit sleight of hand argument to make the prior restraint of speech sound plausibly legal.

    Democrats can't possibly surprise me anymore -- they're like 50s era anti-communists willing to destroy everything to get their way, including the 1st Amendment. The underlying foundation upon which the attorney for the states' AGs built his arguments, was that this information endangers state security and thus it must be restrained. That's breathtaking if you think about it. Exactly what practical information cannot threaten state security? Go back to Neanderthal tech -- think about a book on improving one's golf swing. That information could fall under this same "state security" exception to the first amendment because people who know how to use clubs can do dangerous stuff. It probably wouldn't be used that way, but such a framework is so vague and applies so broadly, it would surely be used politically.

    This case has enormous ramifications for the future of America and if the Democrat AGs are successful, that future is going to look increasingly authoritarian and police-state-ish.
