Anyone with the various socials have any updates?

Apparently there is a guy on top of chili’s with a gun?

I was in Schuler when I heard the employees talking about a lockdown.... I went ahead and bought my books and left, cops everywhere outside

Reputable MSU person I follow on says Meridian mall is in lockdown.

Doesn’t sound like a crazy, well maybe, but not a “I’m going to kill a bunch of people” crazy.

Daughter texting. One of her housemates is in lockdown in the Aldi's parking lot. That's all she knows.

That's good news, I guess. Sounds like it could've been ugly.

by **steveschneider** 2020-12-12, 13:52

Terrifying. I hope everyone is safe and they catch this person ASAP.

I thought you lived down in Ohio?

Nope, but it’s not surprising to see pylon be wrong

You're thinking of Roc, Pylon.

Nah. I'm going with Travis living in Cincinnati. Yeah, that sounds right. Probably across the river in Kentucky.

by **tGreenWay** 2020-12-12, 15:12

Can you blame the guy? Chili’s changes its menu so often a guy’s favorite appeteazer is unavailable the next time you go back two weeks later.

It's definitely plausible. He talks about it quite a bit for a person who doesn't live there.

Has there ever been a time when Pylon was right?

A friend told me that the guy was shot with some sort of non-lethal thing designed to apprehend him without incident.

If accurate, good on the authorities for using this method to diffuse a situation that could've ended much differently.

If only other similar situations were resolved in the same manner. Maybe this is a good start?

I was at the farmers market and the pickle cop came running around to everyone saying to leave, get in your cars. Women casually drives up in front of me, blocking my path and I thought holy shit I might get shot. She rolls down her window and says "whats all the commotion". I say "active shooter, move bitch!". My mom calls me and asks if I called one of her friends the B word... smh.

I'll assume he was white, otherwise they would have used lethal force.

They shot the black guy crossing the street 2 blocks away with his hands in his pockets.

Matty that is the greatest post I've ever read on this board. Granted the bar is low but that's outstanding.

haha it was pretty fucking hectic, I didn't recognize the lady but apparently its one of my moms card game friends who recognized me, shes probably 75 years old but it was kind of a blur, to be honest. Oh the pickle cop, that's retired Meridian Township Officer Gayelord Mankowski. He was my DARE officer in elementary school and he sells pickles now, 45th Parallel Pickle Co, pick some up next time you are at the Farmers Market here in Meridian Township. My mom did eventually ask me if I was okay but demanded that I must be more respectful and I cannot swear in front of women. A Shooter Somewhere Around Meridian Mall? 294152859

Remind your mom that at the time you thought you were in imminent, life-threatening danger, and all you saw was somebody possibly keeping her precious Matty from waking up tomorrow morning.
TBH, for all the time you listen to the scanner, I’m a little surprised you weren’t the one to pick up on the active situation.

True, but Travis is known to use skyline chili as skin moisturizer. Is that normal for anybody who doesn't live in Cincinnati?
