Abandon ship!
Ditto.
Oddly enough, I’m watching Sometimes a Great Notion.
Those darn guns are so violent! I read the first article and found the following quote: “He’s a violence interrupter: meaning his team is boots on the ground, sometimes dodging bullets, trying to diffuse shootings between gangs and young people”. So maybe King County has a gang and young people violence crisis? Or at least correct the story so it reflects the headline: “. . .trying to diffuse shootings between guns and other guns.”
RushBabe, I always read your postings about Seattle. I endure pretty much the same dysfunction as I live in the Bay Area of California.
Thank you. I plan to bike the jeep trail to Devil’s Head, and find a place to shoot the new AR-15 somewhere along the way.
How did you find the ammo?
I haven’t bought ammo in quite a while. I’m coasting on stash. Assuming the rifle works ok, I can spare a hundred green tip to check it out.
And…..Today’s new Sunday headlines!
Multiple shootings in downtown Seattle area overnight.
Possibly intentional hit-and-run crash in Parkland.
Tacoma police investigate two fatal shootings.
Yeehaa! I’m in. Bring my guns and drugs, and have a good ol’ time.
