I've long been cautious of being in movie theaters and festivals. Now we need to also be scared to miss a turn and turn around in someone's driveway.
I really feel like we are reaching a boiling point. I know it's been said for a long time, but something is different and it's terrifying.

A 20 year old woman was shot and killed for pulling into the wrong driveway by mistake in upstate NY. I didn’t know her or her family, but I have friends who did. Shot and wounded for knocking on a door, murdered for pulling into a driveway. American vigilante gun culture is probably the thing that scares me most these days (it’s definitely alive and well in NOVA). It’s all so incredibly fucked up. Hi, my kid panic texted me today from his friend's phone bc he found out about a threat to his school

I think part of the problem is how many people constantly mainline "news" that makes them think they are constantly in danger. Also, all the fucking guns.

The amount of gun shot alerts in my city has been crazy lately. The police and mayor have been putting out statements.

It definitely feels overwhelming right now. Being in public is not very comfortable. I told a story on GD about a parent that was ranting about really dumb stuff at my DS’s baseball game. I definitely was using all my senses to figure out if he was a threat or just a pain in the ass. I hate living like this.

See the Bay Area media and social media (I.e. Nextdoor) as example A. The amount of people concerned about types of crime that have actually gone down is a problem.

Minerva I’d seen lots of posts on it b/c of our connections that way. That area is rural so they didn’t even have cell service. What’s even more disgusting is seeing the people defend the shooter.

This is so appalling on so many levels. Good guys with guns my ass. NY has strict gun laws. Hopefully he gets prosecuted to the fullest possible extent.

Long since needed. I hope other states follow. We went to a minor league game last week because DD was awarded tickets at school and the guys sitting behind us hit all the problem topics from Bud Light (full of misinformation like that they fired their marketing team 🤦♀️) to being made the Cleveland Guardians changed their name from Indians a few years ago. I was biting my tongue and sitting on my hands because they for sure would have gotten out of hand if I said anything

Can't seem to help themselves. Of all the journalists in the court room, of course it was someone from Fox News.

Someone in the comments said they can retrieve deleted iPhone pictures for a year...hopefully someone in the court is familiar with how to permanently delete

Looks like the dominion case settled. I am so bummed. Doesn’t matter what you do or how much you lie, money gets you out of any problem.
