TxRover Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Sat in a cafe a couple of blocks away from the site of the hostage taking and listened to two old lads discussing it. One had to evacuate because his back fence was up against the site, but he was happy that “once those folk from Virginia” showed up (FBI), it got resolved quickly.

Okay it's ridiculous for a western democracy that acts as some kind of morally righteous country.

At least it looks relatively safe to go to worship or school this year.They managed to get through all of 2021 without any incidents at places of worship, there were 3 on educational establishments.Last years total was 689 incidents, with 702 killed and 2823 injured. That's 12-13 incidents per week, it's fucking bonkers.Illinois was way out in front in the number of shootings by state charts in 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
