Maybe "interesting" isn't the best word to use when we're talking about kids being shot and killed.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
That's basically happened - there was at least one shoot out (i.e., dozens of bullets flying) and one person killed where noone could be charged at all because both sides claimed SD/SYG and it couldn't be proven who fired first. In Florida, natch.
Note to self: If I should travel to Florida again, add "buy bulletproof vest" to pre-trip checklist along with getting base tan and having oil changed.

One of the million things I love about David Simon is how he is the total BOSS of his blog. He throws elbows for a while then says the arguments are getting stupid and he's over it.And he is so famous that even trolls back down. I would send him black, sparkly hearts for that, if he would accept.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Honestly, if that's only happened once, I think their record is pretty good, given people.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Somebody arguing on Bruce Coville's Facebook page tried to pull the "have you ever been mugged?" card on me. So I got to pull out my "I HAVE been mugged and it hasn't made me fearful" card, which is a card I'll use when provoked.
I've also pointed out that I'd feel safer with 10 Trayvon Martins walking around my neighborhood than one George Zimmerman.

I have had things stolen by a black person and by somebody white.(Shortly thereafter, I stopped carrying a purse) It's not like getting jacked by a white dude made me feel better!
