“Well, I had just gotten evicted from my apartment, one week after gettin’ fired for drinking on the job, and I had no place to stay till I saw my Social Worker. I just needed a play to get off the streets for a few days.
So my Ex- says to me:”Why don’t do something a little bit stupid, and a little bit violent, just enough to get yourself arrested for a few days. It always works for me!”
I forgot the “Satire” tag to above post.
Somehow I knew it wouldn’t be “Mary Smith.”
Just a hunch.
“Tagalog name, Filipina.”
I’m surprised she wasn’t using a butterfly knife - not enough visual effect, I guess.
Was it a Glock meat cleaver or one of those AR-15 meat cleavers?
Has anyone checked on David Hogg to make sure he’s O.K.?
Looks like some Latina.
One day-ah near Salinas ah ha
I let her chop away
Officers overhead the commotion and rushed to the lobby armed with handguns and tasers.
Once the Sarge would have slapped her and taken away her meat cleaver. He may or may not have bothered to take the cigar stub out of his mouth first. But, yeah, run around like idiots with guns drawn yelling orders. Whatever.
