Reply to comment by idk012 in After Monterey Park shooting, gunman targeted Alhambra dance studio, sources say by 5xad0w
RTFA,
>Community leader Chester Chong told ABC7 that the owner of the dance studio on West Garvey Avenue was holding an event there on Saturday. Through talking with friends that were in attendance and other local leaders, he said a woman was invited to the event but not her husband, which made him upset. Chong said he believes that woman's husband is the suspect in this case and jealousy may be a possible motive for the shooting.
Stop repeating the rumor mill until there is an official statement.
- Chong wasn't at the shooting
- Chong is taking second hand information from folks that may or may not have been there either. Let alone know anything.
- Chong has cited his own belief targeting some individuals whom we do not know if they're actually involved.
This is how you fucking start a witchhunt.
For all we know this dude is just pissed he wasn't invited.

Don't take it as fact yet. That comment was made by a guy that wasn't at the shooting. The article is a literally "i heard from some one else who heard from someone else..."

The comment was made by a community leader that wasn't at the scene. This is not an official statement and shouldn't be accepted as one.

Ya, I'm not interested in "possible," I'll wait for the police to release a statement, not speculation from a bystander that by standing somewhere else when it happened.

motive hasn't been established. Only that the shooter is also Asian.

watching this closely. That area is my old neighborhood. My folks visited Lai-Lai when I was a kid, so that place has a huge sense of familiarity to me. My old man was friends with the owner(s?) and networked there often.

it's the other way around. The guy is a classically trained stage actor and thespian but put his talents to bringing the goofy Ernest character to life.
His modern successor is Larry the Cableguy, who doesn't actually have a drawl accent.

CTR seems to have been turned into a luxury model. The 2.0T accord is just a cheaper version.
OTOH, when we talk Integras, they've always been upscaled civics.

Honda attracts that weird culture. I don't know any other Japanese car brand that has a quirky mod-enthusiast fan base trying to squeeze 1 HP out of economy cars like squeezing the last bit of toothpaste from a tube. The quirkyness gets less and less goofy as the value of the car goes up.

A bit of confusion and butt puckering because it'll piss off the folks across the strait.

bail is value in full, 10% is for bond. $50k is pretty quick for an attorney and a published architect with multiple properties across the US. The BMW M5's smouldering hulk could probably cover a 5th of it.

It can also be caused by pepto bismal.
EDIT! The bismuth in pepto interacts with trace sulfur in your mouth and gut, staining whatever the sulfur is on. Black Hairy Tongue happens when the bismuth stains the strands of skin cells hanging onto your tongue's papillae(taste buds). A lot of food you eat has trace sulfur, anything related to onions is high in it. Turkey, eggs, any broccoli and cabbage type veggies. Anything with biotin and thiamin (vitaminB1). All have traces of sulfur.

Reply to comment by Knute5 in TIL The Dick Van Dyke Show was originally written entirely by Carl Reiner, about stories from Reiner's life, and starred Carl Reiner. The pilot was unsuccessful so it was reworked with Dick Van Dyke playing Robert Petrie. by jamescookenotthatone
Mel and Carl were not just frequent collaborators, but also lifelong best friends. Rob Reiner recalls much of his childhood watching his dad and "Uncle Mel" trying to write material and laughing their asses off at what they could come up with. It's one of the reasons he was inspired to get into directing. And he gave us The Princess Bride and This is Spinal Tap. Likewise Mel Brooks kids referred to Carl Reiner as "Uncle Carl."
