The horrible shooting last night was at a club having a "country music night" for college kids.
There are reports that some of the patrons last night were also at the country music festival in Vegas last year for that shooting.
I mean can you imagine surviving TWO shootings, the odds of that happening seem so strange.
It doesn't surprise me in the least.
It just shows that this issue will keep getting worse until there is hardly anyone left. It absolutely amazes me how much the government ignores the urgency of this issue. People keep yelling what won't work yet don't offer any solutions. Everybody is happy sitting in limbo until one of them gets shot up. It's infuriating.

Same thing in my sister’s neighborhood, military man with ptsd. Except murder/suicide with 2 laying dead inside for weeks, mail piled up outside.
IMHO, this is a mental health issue that needs to be, but will be difficult, to fix. Many people think that getting help is a weakness, HIPA laws keep a lot of information under wraps, and law enforcement can’t lock someone up who hasn’t done anything.
Speaking of mental health... I was looking at TVs yesterday, and the woman next to me was waving her arms around and talking animatedly. She took a picture of the TV, saying “this is a good deal right?” I assumed she was one of those people shopping and talking at the same time, the Bluetooth headset type, I used to think people like this were possibly mentally ill or hallucinating when they were talking to themself, until the advent of this technology.
I do live in a large city that does have a variety of every person I’ve ever imagined, I say hello to the woman wearing a long fur coat and lavender pageant style sash, long white beautiful hair, around 80 y.o....Either way, I don’t pay any attention to people talking alone, —but this shopping woman got right in front of me and said: “am I right?!” and I asked if she was talking to me? She replied: “you see anyone else here?!”
It’s confusing enough to discern between the mentally ill, and those communicating with someone else who IS there but I can’t see them, so throw in a person communicating directly to me, and it’s as if I had forgotten that we still do that in public. 😺
There’s a guy at work who constantly talks to himself when he is walking down the hall. He doesn’t have a phone with him or a blue tooth thingy (which always makes me think of Uhura on Star Trek). It sounds like he keeps going over his entire day’s to-do list, and sometimes it sounds like he’s telling himself how he will tackle his next project.

I was following a car this afternoon that has a school spirit sticker on it - the kind with the school name and mascot. This sticker was the “Name of the school Monarchs”, but the mascot logo was a lion. Am I missing something here?

A Lion is "King of the Jungle".
A Monarch is "Sovereign Ruler".
