I don’t know man life is strange. I volunteered to do some overtime this week. The late shift is boring but I catch up on paperwork and joke around with the residents.

I went outside at 12:40a to tell the knuckleheads put the weed away and get inside and I shit you not twenty feet to our left a business window shattered and the loud cracks of gunfire broke out. Two idiots in the park across the street decided to have an old west shoot out.


Despite their obvious shitty aim they did manage to put a round in each other which I found impressive. Once we all got up I made sure none of us were hit. One of the shooters was heading our way so I rushed everyone in but he was actually walking to the hospital. Bullet in his shoulder.

the other guy was laying in the street but alive. I wish I could say I was surprised by the event.

Give me five, I’m still alive, ain’t no luck, I learned to duck.

Takin my lucky railmaster home. I had this on that night.

Damn, I wish you said in advance you were visiting DC -- I could have arranged a small GTG 😜

Glad you made it home with the same amount of holes you had when you left that morning.

We just had a 14-year old and his 18-year old brother, arrested. The 14-year old charged with 1st degree murder, and his brother as an accessory. The kid put three bullets through the windshield of a late model Jeep Wrangler. We’ve had 5 murders in as many days, to say nothing of the innocent bystanders who are in hospital, some with serious injuries! Life isn’t worth very much to some people!

Haha! A fun day. “The fight started when he returned fire, officers…”.

I’m a bit further north. Between the bio warfare in the building and shootings outside I am considering hanging up my whatever it is I got but I’ll probably continue on. We all need a little excitement but one more bastard pukes on me that’s it.

I know this isn’t the music thread but I’ve been listening to this ever since the shooting and it’s making a lot of sense. So I’m going to share it damnit

Sounds like you kept you head, and as a result kept your people safe. Nice work my friend 👍

A lucky day would have been finding a Paul Newman Daytona in some couch cushions. This sounds like a terrifying day! Glad to hear that you are ok!

Evolution works in slow time. I live with someone suffering from anxiety who wakes up in a shitty place most days but not so shitty that the neighbours are breaking the windows..... Keep safe buddy.

I just work in the area at my home I really only have to worry about fireworks. I do think it sucks people have to live in areas where walking down the street puts you at risk of catching a stray bullet.

How about the young kids stuck growing up in the area? Not much positive for them. The city is trying to improve the area but everything nice seems to get destroyed. I take a walk daily and usually someone tries to sell me fentanyl at least once.

A couple independent watch shops I check out during the spring but it seems as winter comes more knuckleheads are out bothering people who are just getting food or checking out the shops. It’s sad how many of us treat each other.
