Stop going in front of the cameras, guys. Enough. Shut it down. Shut it down until people whose brain capacity doesn’t mirror that of Joe Biden can deliver answers to simple questions about this attack. Over the weekend, someone entered the engineering building at Brown University and opened fire on students. Two were killed at least another eight were wounded. How did the shooter get into the building? We don’t know. We don’t have a person of interest, a motive, or even a good image of the suspect.
“I don’t know” is the answer that predominates these shambolic pressers. Christina Paxson, the university president, is more ornamentation than a source of information. The police chief is just as useless, with Mayor Brett Smiley incapable of seizing the moment. The man complained about being tired—I’d hope so, sir. There’s a shooter on the loose who’s armed, dangerous, and a threat to public safety. What am I even hearing here? It’s pathetic, leaders from top to bottom in Providence.
Umm, why did @BrownUniversity just scrub its entire website of Mustapha Kharbouch (Free Palestine, LGBTQ activist)? pic.twitter.com/GjnJ9vxmjS

Brown Pres. Paxson addresses the web pages that have been taken down from Brown's site, says she doesn't know anything about it.

This comes as ALL pages referencing Palestinian LGBTQ activist 'refugee' Mustapha Kharbouch have been removed from Brown's website. pic.twitter.com/Q9J4JsZGV5
The Providence Chief of Police doesn't seem to know whether or not investigators have any video of the person of interest from INSIDE the building where the shooting took place.

🚨 NOW: A reporter just asked the University President about webpages being taken DOWN after the Brown University shooting - one of which is reportedly Mustapha Karbouch's.

The latest update concerns a man named Mustapha Kharbouch, who isn’t a suspect, but he’s being scrubbed from the university's websites. Why? Paxson delivered her hallmark answer: I have no clue. Oh, and is there video of the suspect inside the building? The police chief doesn’t know. And no one seems to know who Mustapha Kharbouch is, despite his erasure in real time. AG Peter Neronha seemed perturbed that reporters would even ask about it.
Nothing turns me into a conspiracy theorist faster than a government official chastising a reporter for asking a “really dangerous” question, which no one is willing to answer. https://t.co/AF6LdMScu9

What a total and complete disaster. Is there information they’re trying to bury, because the vibes are not good here?
Also, what the in the ever living hell did we watch? Also, we were told the school's emergency system is active-shooter-dependent. What does that even mean?
Reporter: Why didn't the siren emergency system go off?

Brown University President: "That's not a system we would ever use in the case of an active shooter."
Reporter: "It does say on the website...that it is for an active shooter."

Last, I really don't like where we're heading here:
