Tears run Rings
Oct. 24th, 2018 10:30 pmThis afternoon, about four miles from where I live, some dude went into a Kroger and started shooting. Killed two people. LMPD arrested him a few minutes later. No word on motive. Just ... fuck. Over in J-town. A store I've dropped into couple of times. My barber is in the same shopping center.
Word is getting around that the target was the father of the city's chief racial equity officer. He was with his grandson - age 12 - shopping for poster board, when this motherfucker walked up and shot him in the back. The shooter ran from the store, exchanging fire with an "armed citizen" pursuing him. A woman got caught between these two and was shot and killed. Yet another "armed citizen" confronted the shooter in the parking lot, and says the shooter told him "Don't shoot me. I won't shoot you. Whites don't shoot whites." Couple of good guys with guns, I guess.
This happens on a day when pipe bombs show up in the mail for George Soros, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michele Obama, at CNN (addressed to former CIA director John Brennan), and at Deborah Wasserman Schulz's office. None of them detonated, for whatever reason, thank goodness. But there we are. Domestic terrorism, aimed at those the sitting President has threatened or declared to be enemies or whatever his shitty little mind comes up with. And less than two weeks before the midterm elections.
Taking a short break from the Star Wars campaign to let me get in some GMing time with 7th Sea. I'm on the hook for a couple of sessions at an upcoming local con and would rather test things with my regular group than just about anyone else.
Fucking fabulous, my Dodgers just lost the second game of the World Series. Heading home to LA down 0-2. If they lose Game 3, the Series is effectively over and ... dammit.
