Thank goodness.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I cannot get through links, but I have the general idea. Allyson, my thoughts with your brother and the whole family.
I'm going to be offline during business hours for the forseeable future. Only blackberry access.

Add me in for willing to contribute funds, Allyson.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Holy fuck. {{Allyson}} I am so sorry your family is having to go through this.

OH Allyson! How horrible! That guy is so lucky that your bro only punched him. If it had been me, I would have totally lost my shit and ended up beating the crap out of him. I'm so sad for your family, what a horrible thing to have to live through, made all that much worse because of the stupid camera crews/news reporters.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm with Susan, and beth, and all the other pacifist Buffistas who wouldn't hesitate to drop anyone who touched a kid in our care.
Gods, Allyson. I can only just barely imagine what must have been going through your brother's mind (and heart, and fists) at that moment. I can barely imagine, and it's got me shaking and incoherent. So much crazy worse for him. But, damn, he's a good, heroic dad. And you're such a good sister, aunt, fierce advocate for your whole family.
I just want to gather up your whole family and all the Buffistas and then shake the entire rest of the world until its teeth rattle.
