Charleston, South Carolina Shooting Employee



Today, in Charleston, South Carolina, a disgruntled employee shot one person and held approximately 30 others hostage.  As of 3:30pm, the situation was resolved, but several street were still closed.  The event occurred on King Street, near the intersections of Warren, John, Vanderhorst, and Hutson, in close proximity to the College of Charleston.

The identity of the shooter has not been made public, however witnesses are quoting him as saying things like "there's a new boss in town" and "I'm the new King of Charleston."  SWAT and a bomb disposal team were called to the scene of the restaurant, which is no longer active.  The shooting victim count is one wounded and one deceased.  The deceased victim is being reported as a chef who worked at the restaurant, Virginia's On King, with the shooter prior to his termination.

The incident is a few blocks away from Emanuel AME church, where nine black members of a church were killed by a white man during a June 2015 Bible study.  However, this current incident is not being labeled as a terrorist attack or as being racially motivated.  Only a fired dishwasher who returned to his former place of work to get revenge.  The shooter is initially being identified by witnesses as a black male in his 50s with a grandfatherly appearance.

I signed up on a different gmail account, no problem, but when I applied for the new site, I received an email telling me I was denied.  My account information matched the information from this website, and it is against policy to have two accounts with AdSense.  I thought this was simple enough, so I went to delete the old account because I have no use for it.  That's where the problem occurred. In my attempt to delete the old account, I noticed Google wouldn't let me get to the Settings page in order to change the w

2024 the Next Total Solar Eclipse USA, and Other Future Solar Eclipses

Solar eclipses are neat because, despite the large scale and infrequency, they are incredibly predictable.  While the 2017 total solar eclipse was touted as a once-in-a-lifetime event, that's probably only true for people who are VERY old.  Here's the schedule for solar eclipses visible from the US within a large portions of living people's lifetimes: October 14, 2023 - Annular eclipse visible in a very similar path to the recent eclipse April 8th, 2024 - Just a year later, a TOTAL ECLIPSE like the 2017 one will occur with the path of totality passing through a line starting in Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana, and passing all the way up along the border of Canada and states like New York, Vermont and other New England states. In the United States, totality will be visible through the states of Texas (including parts of San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth and all of Arlington, Dallas, Killeen, Temple, Texarkana, Tyler and Waco), Oklahoma, Arkansas (including Hot Springs
