Shelter in place issued the other day near the town of Leavenworth Washington, due to a man who had pointed a weapon towards his neighbor and was shooting on his property.
The man Abel Wilkes then barricaded himself inside his residence. Nearby roads were closed and the shelter in place lasted from around noon until around 6 or 8 am the next day.
Some locals were upset and said the neighbor should have minded thier own business and people can shoot on thier own property and others said "That guy has been crazy for years!"
AND OF COURSE the big question that Mirah wants to know is, "Had the person been black would they have been alive today?!"

Another standoff ends in someone dying. But I don't have details on it.
Today a motorist crashed in to a bird store. The motorist had one of those boots on thier leg when it is injured and thier leg slipped off the brake. Said the person in the tanning salon 3 doors down.
Isn't it illegal to drive with one of those boots?

There is just no safe place anymore.
I'm not just now coming to that conclusion, I've known for quite awhile.

Yeah.
I'm kind of aware in any and all situations. I have to just live my life.

Aluminium helmets are good for solar flares.

Today must have been a really slow news day in NH, the top story on MUR this morning was about a scientific study involving tickling rats. Who the fuck pays for these studies?

That’s should have been easy! Because they don’t eat Rose Petals.

Not my local news, but someone's local news:
Judge sentences child for public urination. The child was arrested while his mom was inside a lawyers office. WTF

This is insanity. He's 10 years old!
I know people can't just up and leave wherever they are, I understand it's often complicated, but FFS black people, get the hell out of the deep south.

Emmett Till. George Floyd. Racism is weird over in the USA. Yeh, run don't look back.
I am only in the last couple of years understanding how different your racism is compared to our lives over here. I mean, yes of course it is here too. But over there it is like a secret code. I didn't know about Jim Crow. Remember when I asked Maggot in here, what is POTUS? I had never heard of POTUS.
I am exhausted with Trump and all those weird Pastors praying for him. When he was in power, white people could pick up a gun, shoot and kill, lke Rittenhouse and get away with it. Trump is talking about exhonerating criminals. You can bet racists will see that as a green light to behave badly.
Yes, you would have to be crazy to be black and stay in that neck of the woods.

trump's cult identify with him. They LOVE the way he treats people he doesn't like and 9 times out of 10 he doesn't like the same people his cult doesn't like and every last one of those whining bitches play the victim.
I have a much better understanding of segregation these days. I don't want those people in my neighborhood. Go the fuck away and congregate with your own kind.

Maybe it's because we are getting older and we have a better understanding and insight into people and what makes people do the things they do and behave the way they do.
Unless this man is stopped your bar will be lowered as to what is acceptable in your Country. It's a kind of lawlessness that he has been able to go as far as he has already. He has appealed to the lowest common denominator and then put that on steriods and then normalised it. It's a shame because your nation has such a capacity for love and making the world a better place. That sexpest is ruining the joint.

It's already very, VERY low. In a normal functioning society he would have been finished the moment he publicly mocked a disabled person. There is no low that is too low for trump and his cult.

Yes but some of his posts are illiterate, worse than Clang. His vocabularly is limited. You cannot have someone of such limited intelligence rule and take over your gorgeous Country.
I hope it gets sorted out and he becomes the poster child of everything that is wrong. People will die, many we cannot even contemplate. All those intelligent people you have over there, all those resources would be wasted and handed over to Putin. Ghastly.
