If Music Could Talk

I know we all have at least one in our family:

I think I mentioned that my aunt has gone off the rails. Well, tonight she posted some bullshit meme about how when she was a kid, they didn't have school shootings because they had prayer in school. I wrote "now you're just trolling" and I put a smiley face on it. She replied "well, have you heard of any boomers dong a school shooting?" I replied by asking "weren't you at UT when Charles Whitman shot all of those people from the clock tower?" She didn't respond to that, but she did tell me that people praying to Jesus never bothered her or my dad when they were kids (she's my dad's sister and she's starting to really piss my mom off. She tells my mom shit like "oh, I saw the same car Rik drove - it's a sign from him from heaven!" My dad was an atheist and it also just plain old upsets my mom). Anyway, I'm sure it bothered the shit out of my dad since he's basically been an atheist since he was a kid.

TL;DR Crazy aunts be crazy.

Own that shit, gun nuts. That's the price you've decided is acceptable so that can pretend you're safe.

Three shooters seems to suggest terrorism, but the target is bizarre. Per usual, I'm curious as to how this will play out.

Are you free enough now from tyranny, gun nuts?

No, the alchemical ratio has not been reached. Keep adding more guns until freedom breaks out.

As the pile of murdered bodies increases, so too our freedom in proportion.

I can't wait to see who is the first idiot to say if all the people in this building were armed this wouldn't have happened.

Hucklebee already did.

I'd be lying if I said I was surprised. Now how many idiots will follow suit.

Being a Savannah resident this is, sadly, more of the same of what's been going on for the past year or so. A corrupt police department that co-opted with local gangs to keep the peace and the drugs flowing, Corrupt police (including the chief) arrested & hauled off to jail creating a power vacuum over which gang controls the drug scene locally, leading to an ongoing turf war that's starting to spill over into the historic district where lots of folks get killed. And nothing's going to change until a tourist ends up dead.
