and stray bullets'......
This weekend in Joe Bidens' America......in our nations capital actually......a gunfight erupted outside the gates of the Washington Nationals' stadium.....3 people were shot , including a female that had attended the game....shots rang out throughout the stadium and the fans ran for cover......some onto the field and trying to take cover in the dugout, others ducked under seats and tables and still more lead a stampede towards the outfield exits (opposite from where the gunfire was happening). The stadium announcer had to tell fans to shelter in place and remain in the stadium for their own safety.....umpires decided it was wise to cancel the game after only 6 inning....
members of the Texas state government boarded a plane for Washington DC to try and block a vote they didn't agree with regarding Voting Integrity....so at the National level democrats are trying to do away with filibuster and push through partisan bills by reconciliation.....and at the local level in Texas its the exact opposite....rather than loose a vote because they are the minority, they will try to grandstand and run and hide.....thus avoiding their elected duties .....at the least they should forfeit pay , and at the max they should loose their jobs.
incidentally....this morning they are reporting that 3 "fully vaccinated" members of that Texas delegation have tested positive for the Wuhan Virus........my very basic question is why are they still being tested if they are fully vaccinated ? I honestly don't know, perhaps it's mandatory , but whatever the reason it still stinks of political privilege ......why keep testing fully vaccinated people ? because it's free ? newsflash......nothing is free.
Thursday afternoon.....3:00 pm....Queens New York....caught on video....A mom is walking with her 3 kids....the youngest one....2 years old.....is happily running ahead of the pack....not far.....maybe 10-15 feet ahead........a 30 year old man jumps out of a parked car , grabs the child, throws him into the car and attempts to drive away......thankfully the older brother and sister attempt to stop the man , and while he is briefly delayed, the Mom reaches through the open passenger window and pulls the baby to safety........Police have very clear video....and even have very clear video of the assailant with another man (50 or 60 years old) moments before the attempted kidnapping....someone knows who these guys are.......if they don't come forward and tell Police, well ...i hope their child or grandchild is next.
another news item about the incredible rise in shoplifting....in particular , the very expensive beauty products from a a chain of stores on Long Island ( Ultra Beauty)....the newscaster speculated as to why, and even said with a straight face that the main driver is that these products are easy to resell on the internet.....they then showed store surveillance video of Black teenager, after black teenager, after black teenager coming into stores....filling up their baskets with 100's of items and then walking, jogging or dancing past the register and out the front door.....i'm going out on a limb....they are not listing for resale on the internet...processing your credit card, and then going to the post office to ship you your skin cream......and even if they were , that's NOT the main driver for the spike.....the main driver is that profiling criminals and hiring in store security to prevent people that FIT the profile of a thief has been outlawed and shamed....and the criminals know it.......a 15 year old boy in a tank top and shorts shopping in a womens beauty store is a thief....we all know it....he ain't buying mammy a mascara pen for the juneteenth celebrations.....he's grabbing everything he can get his paws on ( i am a dog, i know about paws) and walking right out the front door and selling his stolen goods for pennies on the dollar.......where does it end ? well Walgrens announced that they are closing dozens of pharmacies in SF due to shoplifting.....and seriously, which neighborhoods will be the first to close ? the ones in the neighborhoods that house the criminals.......and next year Snora O'donnel will do a sob story about poor people that cannot get their prescriptions filled because the pharmacies have all closed....boo fuckin hoo......one by one....industry by industry.....these business will close brick and mortar stores and become exclusively online shopping.....and i don't blame them.
No one tried to say a thing
When they took him out in jest
Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
Who carried him to rest
And he just walked along, alone
With his guilt so well concealed
And muttered underneath his breath
“Nothing is revealed” (Dylan)
