I dont know how to say it more clearly but you still don't seem to get it. "Mass shootings" are calculated by there being multiple victims. A lot of gang-related shootings are groups of people shooting at other groups of people, HENCE THEY ARE CALCULATED AS MASS SHOOTINGS.

Yeah true. I wish they would focus that energy on something productive, like putting on-duty officers inside all schools. I honestly thought the total would be higher. 306 since 09. And im willing to bet over 95% of these are gang related with illegal firearms. 95% of those are pistols, not even rifles. The "assault weapon" debate is ridiculous on its face.

Oh nice. I didnt even know they had another location. Their sandwiches are good. The bread in particular is nice and soft and fluffy. I also sometimes get their large steak bomb calzone. Its like 22 bucks I think but you can feed a large family off of that thing easy!

Edit: Also fun fact! All of their sandwiches are named after "wise guys". #22 The Lorenzo Mannino, is a relative of my SO lol.

Try not to drive in a snowstorm before plows get a chance to come through but if you must, a really good trick to know around here is let some air out of your tires. Take it nice and slow and leave more than enough braking distance in front of you. I'd go practice in a neighborhood somewhere instead of a parking lot.

I was a member there for several years. I havent been there since the covid bs started but it was pretty nice when I was. Got everything in there, basketball court, Olympic pool, hot tub, upstairs cardio, downstairs weights and spin room. Smoothie bar. A bit pricey tho. And it pissed me off when it was packed in there.. After covid I dumped my membership and built my own gym. No more payments and no more people!

Couldn't have said it better. Traffic pattern full and they think the entire world should move over and make way for them like that scene from Bruce Almighty. Its frickin Rhode Island, people! Wherever you're going, you'll be there in like 30 mins tops 😂 Calm down! And get off my ass.

Ahhh thats a little different of a story. If the road is open in front, definitely move over. What REALLY gets me is when there is a full traffic pattern, line of cars in front of me and people still ride ass like they're special and trying to part the red sea as if everyone should move out of their way. Driving in RI is an exercise in human psychology daily. A real sheep-like mentality sets in especially those that literally can't leave space between cars. Habitual ass-riders all of you! 😂
