It was quite fun to see the confusion from bigger men, probably football players, when I wouldn’t back down and then, if it came to a fight, cleaning their clocks.
He got shot.
Which 3 years ago qualified for a covid death diagnosis. Lead poisoning was almost the same thing as covid at that time.
RIP to this poor fellow. At least he died of a gunshot, not, you know that OTHER shot!
