tommyrot, I'm sorry you're dealing with so much right now.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks Steph.
There is some sort of air show going on by my university, and the planes doing maneuvers are scaring the living daylights out of me. Every time one goes by I want to hide under my desk.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Local news has started being more and more openly critical of the Ferguson police. It's looking like martial law out there (edit: in Ferguson, not STL in general). There's a lot of hope that the gov will intervene.
I hate this. Things have been fucked up for a long time here.

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

Hec just posted this to FB: St. Louis County Police to Be Removed From Ferguson: Clay - Bloomberg
This was done on the governor's orders.
eta:
Clay [the governor] said that he has been urging U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to “take over the entire situation because we will not get justice for Michael Brown and his family and friends if the St. Louis County police and prosecutor have a say.”
Wow.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
tommy, sorry for how hard things have been for you lately.
Things have been fucked up for a long time here.
I've wondered. Police don't get up one morning and say, lookit all this riot gear, let's institute martial law! Seems like something bad had to be going on for a while to come to a head like this.

That's worth a couple of Whoas.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry, tommyrot.
