A Monday night sighting of the convicted killer who escaped from an eastern Pennsylvania prison nearly two weeks ago jolted the surrounding community into high alert and prompted school closures Tuesday, after police warned the inmate now has a weapon.
Apparently some idiot left his garage door open and the convict got a hold of his “.22” rifle from the corner of the garage.
Dude should never be allowed to own firearms again.

So 7 bullet holes in his neighborhood. Wonderful.
If only that .22 had a wepon to defend its self from the killer!
There is no “illegal gun fairy”. If a known criminal has a gun, it was either the fault of a legal gun owner or gun laws that are so dogshit they can’t even deny a sale to a known criminal.
But don’t worry, the gun lobby profits the same from both.
Dude should never be allowed to own firearms again.
I would argue that, generally, one isn’t responsible for the crimes that another commits – the perp would have had to have trespassed, and stolen the rifle. What one does on their own property is generally of their own concern. This is assuming, of course, that the reason in which this occurred has no laws on the storage of firearms (whether such laws are justified, or not is separate argument, ofc).
Now that you have the caliber correct, mind sharing your source on “garage door open”?
Police just held a press conference stating as much.
Thanks. Apologies, Jaderick (no idea how to tag), it’s been one of those days and it was rude of me to snap at you.
This is the internet, you are supposed to double down when you are wrong!
We’re doing better than Reddit
The weapon is a .22 caliber rifle
Try again.
Turns out you can edit comments so no need to try again. You probably didn’t know that
Friend of mine lives within walking distance of the gas station where he was just spotted. She’s on lockdown, helicopters flying overhead, schools are closed for the day, etc
No was this guy gets captured, he’s gonna be shot on sight.
Keystone Kops wasn’t supposed to be a documentary
I hope they can find a way to relieve us of some 🐷.
Curious when we’re going to start saying ‘personhunt.’
Honestly, the term is antiquated beyond just being gendered. We say hunt when we really mean search and capture.
And people make jokes about this but it really can matter. If someone hears there’s a manhunt for Sam Jones, they are more likely to assume it’s a man. It could be a Woman, tho, and using gender neutral terms could help prevent false assumptions.
A hunt can also just mean a search, like an Easter egg hunt.
Speak for yourself I shoot my Easter eggs with a .50 desert eagle like a real Christian.
True, tho I personally think the term takes on a slightly different nuance when applied to something without sentience. We can’t hunt easter eggs in the “kill them” sense because they’ve already been prepped. There’s nothing to kill.
I was going to say ‘on the hunt for the best cheeseburger in Appalachia’ but that would involve ending the burger. Easter Eggs we don’t usually eat, though… I guess you can…
I mean have you seen american cops? Hunt is probably a pretty apt term in respect to how its actually gonna go down.
Well that’s just a distinction between ostensible intention and realistic application of the word. Sure, you’re right, but they’d never admit it lol.
But manhunt is not a gendered word. Maybe the solution to the misunderstandings you speak of could be Americans learning some damn English.
Even if it was just hunt, I’d assume it’s a man because men on average commit more violent crimes than women.
Yeah, MANslaughter is for men! If the woke libs start calling it personslaughter I’m going to boycott it.
Do you expect us to start saying ‘huperson’ as well? Get off it. Not every use of ‘man’ is gendered.
You could say that about many words that are unfortunately getting interpreted as gendered for some reason

Calm down. Lol.
You wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
Nah, this is par for the Fediverse
