Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There are people just taking potshots at police and at helicopters, telling them, “You better come get my family.”
Oh sweet jesus.
What a mess this all is.

Vonnie just posted what I was going to. It's desperation, a frantic attempt to get the helicopter/boat/truck for their own use. Well, and probably some malicious asses too.

Well, two out of three ain't bad. Though I don't know if the US is richest per capita, but I'm not sure of your units.
I'm going by GDP.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going by GDP.
Two out of three it is.

Dear god. I just can't even believe what's going on there.
In lighter news...
My in-laws visited Jimmy Carter's church last weekend and got a great photo op with the man.
Very cool! I love Jimmy Carter. Funny story: My grandparents were heavily involved with Habitat for Humanity for over 20 years, sat on the national board and everything. At my grandfather's funeral a couple of weeks ago, there was a guy who looked EXACTLY like Jimmy Carter. Turned out to be my dad's high school guidance counselor, of all people, but there was a rumor going around at the reception afterwards that Jimmy Carter had come to my grandpa's funeral. Which, you know, my grandpa would have loved (either the rumor or the man himself), so that was great.

Russia's got to be the largest in land area. I'm guessing Canada is second. Is the U.S. third, or is it China or Aussie-land, I'm thinking with Alaska the U.S. would be third, but I'm not sure. I guess I could Google, but guessing is more fun.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I thought about posting my conjecture, but then I realized that Google would ruin my fun.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't think y'all are appreciating the lure of anarchy in the sniper situation. From what I heard from my Dad after Hurricane Andrew and what I witnessed after the San Francisco earthquake, there are a certain percentage of folks who are very gleeful to have the complete and utter breakdown of social order. That's all there is to it. It's not that many people, but what you're not understanding is that for some people this is better.
For people who were too poor to own a car, or pay for a motel outside the city, who live in absolute poverty, it's fucking Christmas to be able to go break into all those shops along Canal and load up on electronics and guns and jewelry.
Shooting at helicopters and hospitals is just a big fat Fuck You. Nothing more or less. For maybe the first time in their lives, these people are feeling powerful, and they're abusing it. But they're exercising their power.
I don't think there are a lot of people like that. But there definitely are people like that.
