we weren't interested in filing a complaint nor were we asked if we wanted to. a kindly county deputy sheriff said he'd look into it and for the time being the 6:30/7 AM target practice has ceased. we were told we weren't the only ones complaining. we're keeping our fingers crossedhere in the rural south bible belt there's been a dramatic uptick in what i assume to be small arms fire and and the rapid tat tat tat tat tat* of what i assume are ar-15's has intensified to the point where we finally called the police.
What was your complaint or concern? Excessive noise?

I'm still confused as to whether the objection the time the shooting is taking place, or whether the objection is to any shooting taking place at all.

Right. That's way too early. I think my club's range hours are 9 am to dusk for the rifle range, and I would consider 9 am a little early for weekends.and like you (or anyone) prefer a considerate neighbor

From the NYT:
I gotta say, the boot-licking the NBA is doing WRT the Chinese government is something to behold. Even ESPN is tripping over themselves to all condemn Morey's "irresponsible" tweet. Money talks.Woke politics often seems to train our collective attention down on our navels rather than out at the world. Is the issue of gender-neutral bathrooms really as morally urgent as a country that is, as Pete Buttigieg sharply put it, “using technology for the perfection of dictatorship?” This is a worldview that encourages companies to take cost-free stands on the progressive cause of the moment and do absolutely nothing to uphold fundamental progressive values when doing so requires more sacrifice than the time it takes to write up a news release. A worldview that fails to force companies like the N.B.A., Apple, Google and Disney to account for the fact that they are serving as handmaidens to totalitarians is not one worth taking seriously.
The longstanding conventional wisdom on China — that engagement and investment by America in China would inevitably lead to the country’s political liberalization — has simply not proven true. This is the chestnut Adam Silver himself insists on, when he speaks about the possibilities of “basketball diplomacy.”
Alas, just the opposite has happened.
China has become more repressive the more it has engaged with the West. Meantime, that economic engagement has led major Western businesses and institutions to keep quiet on a major moral issue of this century. The N.B.A.-China partnership is just one example of so many in which Beijing is calling the shots.

The post indicates that the content is from the NYT, thus attempting to lend it credibility.
That aside, only a doofus would waste time addressing Weiss on the merits.

You guys spent a lot of energy attacking 16 year olds for having opinions, so why is this the situation where you draw the line?

Maybe Shad isn't familiar with the extent of Weiss' idiocy, but being aware of such exploits, I came to the conclusion that Shad has some tacit understanding, and that is why he chose to exhibit that take as "from the NYtimes" and not to post the link to her column.

After the last tall tale hit job on Kavanaugh by the Times, I wouldn’t necessarily consider putting their name on anything as lending credibility.
