A Steaming Pile of Excrement

Thirty people shot, 2 dead at a block party in Baltimore.

Fantastic. Just the kind of headline we all want to see when we wake up on a Sunday morning. Must have been plenty of alcohol and a 2-gun minimum? A real shit show, I’m sure. A free-for-all that so predictably spiraled downward because people get liquored up and have no self-control and get angry at the drop of a hat and need to protect their “honor” and their territory and they’re just plain aching for an excuse to hold a weapon sideways in their hand and look like a fucking gangster. Maybe a drug deal gone bad, maybe something else.

Fine. Let them have at it. It’s an old, tired script, though. A skewed battle of attrition, where people die for absolutely no good reason, and the survivors ache for the rest of their lives because the clock can’t be turned back.

This country is a real cesspool sometimes.
