I saw the front of that bus, and it was gone. There was nothing but the engine left. So far, the kids are fine, maybe a little banged up. As for the rest, the domestic terrorist strike again.

Aside from the carnage, that last link could be true for any football fan. I watched that game and my blood pressure went up and back down because they abandoned their running game. Not mentioning any particular teams but, some are well versed in pass interference, and holding. That alone will piss, and raise the blood pressure, of any home team fan off.

It's About Time Madness: Gun violence prevention leaders join advocates in Chicago to push for Responsibility in Firearm Legislation Act

 https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/gun-violence-prevention-responsibility-in-firearm-legislation-act/

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/chicago-southwest-side-fatal-shooting/ 

 

 

 

We can only hope this legislation passes and gets signed into law. Allow me to take you on a history lesson. The Republican Party took this right away from all of us back in 2005. If you don't believe that, here's a copy and paste. "

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLC AA) blocks legal responsibility for gun manufacturers that have failed to innovate and make guns safer, and for manufacturers, distributors, and dealers with irresponsible, reckless and negligent sales practices that contribute to the flood of illegal firearms in our communities.

Repeal the Gun Industry Immunity Law (H.R. 3214 / S. 1779) Report

Since PLC AA passed in 2005, not a single gun manufacturer accused of negligence has gone to trial. Now you know.

What in the fuck is going on? Robbers hitting a sub shop and a 7-eleven. A group of robbers roaming around the Southside of the city. The domestic terrorist striking again, killing one and leaving a man and woman injured. Well, if you look on the bright side, the sub shop robbers got caught. I'll even lay odds they are repeat offenders. Now, it's up to the prosecutors to do their job, and make sure they stay locked up for a long time.

A new year with the same old shit happening. A stupid teen involved in a crash that let people get hurt is on the run. He'll get caught because the parents are pissed. Lastly, our domestic terrorist continue doing targeted shootings. I find it odd when they get caught, they are not charged with premeditated attempted murder. Hell, we all know those shootings are planned, never random.

The second link is beyond madness. I can see if there was a hiring now sign at the gas station. But, there were none. So, why get so worked up and beat the clerk and attempt to blow up the gas station? Now, you'll never get a job.

I'd really like to see a much higher drop in homicides. But, when you compare it with 1965 one could say it's a much-needed improvement. On the other hand, how in the hell did a kid get shot in his own home? Let me guess. A negligent parent that refused to buy a trigger lock? As for the rest, I do hope they place that arsonist into a mental institution for life.
