Hearing the above, another questioner, Jatukkani, asked: "Like the sun which controls the world with its heat and light, you, Master, seem to control desire and pleasure. I have only a little understanding. How can I find and know the way to give up this world of birth and aging?"
The Buddha answered: "Lose your greed for pleasure. See how letting go of the world brings deep tranquility. There is nothing you need hold on to and nothing you need push away. Live in the present but do not cling to it and then you can go from place to place in peace. There is a state of greed that enters and dominates the individual. But when that greed has gone, it is like poison leaving a body and death will have no more terror for you."
~ Sutta Nipata
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind."
~ William James
If you want to go fast walk alone.
If you want to go far walk with others....

The Dalai Bama (peace be upon him) and St Rodham will never have to really face the music. Their legacy’s will be sullied (more than they already are) and I think that’s about the most we can hope for. I hope I’m wrong about that…
These four? They need to go down. I want to see FBI raids at the crack of dawn with cnn crying during the coverage. I want perp walks to the clink.

Armed Citizens Stop Far More Active Shooters Than the FBI Said, New Report Reveals
1 Comment / By Shay Bottomley / October 7, 2025A decade-long review by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) said armed citizens have stopped active shootings at least 10 times more often than reflected in commonly cited federal tallies, arguing that defensive actions by private individuals are significantly undercounted in official and media summaries.
In an update released Monday and shared with Washington Secrets, the center reported that good Samaritans halted 36% to 62% of active-shooter incidents from 2014 through 2024, compared with 3.7% in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s published reports.
The CPRC attributed the gap to definitional limits and classification choices in federal data.
The group said the FBI’s approach excludes situations where an armed citizen displays a firearm but does not fire, even when the display stops an attack.

We knew they were always lying about this.

Wow.
That is a surprise...
The Crime Prevention Research Center is a nonprofit founded in 2013 by John Lott, author of the book “More Guns, Less Crime.” He is best known as an advocate in the gun rights debate, particularly his arguments against restrictions on owning and carrying guns.

These are the key takeaways:
"at least 10 times more often than reflected"
"the center reported that good Samaritans halted 36% to 62% of active-shooter incidents from 2014 through 2024, compared with 3.7% in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s published reports."

The conspicuous part is the extreme range of percentages. I understand it is still more than the previous.

Data which meshes well with Gary Kleck's earlier studies.

The FBI’s political motivations are on full display, makes you wonder what other “facts” in their files are more fiction than truth.

If I tell you that the electrical outlet is faulty between 5% and 45% of the time. That 1. Isn't helpful and 2. Is likely based on a shitty study that was cherry picked for a narrative.

The FBI counts almost nothing unless someone actually fires a shot, while armed citizens who prevent attacks quietly are invisible in the stats. That’s not data, that’s a narrative dressed up as numbers. No wonder their “official” reports make heroic citizens look like bystanders. The FBI’s numbers aren’t just incomplete; they actively erase the role of armed citizens. Cherry-picked “definitions” don’t make up for ignoring reality. Which, in the final analysis, is what you do.

Giving such a wide range isn't helpful.
And it means someone is trying to get a message out rather than get data out.
You like it because it is meant for you
