It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you go. A pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots is the wish of Barney and Ben.

Comment from the article :

“Reports are the hospital is on lockdown because the families are fighting.

That is all you need to know about the suspect(s) and motive”

Anytime there is a large group of a certain ethnicity in the same place at the same time there is the distinct this kind of thing will happen.

And they couldn’t care less where it is either.

40 years ago I interviewed for the music director position at a Presbyterian church in Concord NC, back when being a Presbyterian meant you were a Christian. I didn’t get the position, ended up in Polk County FL, the home of Grady Judd, where I have been since. I would be afraid both of finding out if the Concord church were still Christian, and of being a resident of Concord.

The worst thing?

My taxes pay for their hospital costs.

People with no consequences.

You’d think the NYP could easily have updated their story.

Gee, I wonder why they didn’t...? 🤔

Another perp is id’d as Keyvyonn Rayshaund Bostic, presumably a brother (or half-brother, or cousin) of Nasir.

It is scary to imagine what a New Year’s Eve celebration will be like in that town.

We live in a country now where you can shoot up people in the evening and be back on the streets by dawn with little legal consequence.

Hey chajin, I went to college at Davidson and half the music department (so it seemed) moon-lit at that very church. I had a minor in theology because I enjoyed the topic, but even in the 70s your faith wouldn’t be nurtured there.
