    Nope. We only got as far as becoming Posterians. I felt like an ass.

    After a couple of days of mulling on this I think you may be onto something here and would edit my reply if I could.

    We have a concerted effort to get rid of policing altogether and every possible thing being done to disarm the populace and it's happening simultaneously. Hmm...Maybe they are using the same playbook.

    I'm thinking that this is backfiring, and big. If they would have concentrated on one issue and worked to quiet the other one down, they could have accomplished both. Either go all in on a gun ban and get the various People's Democratic Republics to quiet the rioting and protesting and police defunding talk; or go all in on the street violence and BLM and defunding the cops, and drop the gun control talk.

    They went with both, and the public is responding by buying all the guns and all the ammo. They're putting the two together, and aren't liking it.

    For those of you keeping score at home the 21 year old shitbag that was with Adam has been released on bond. And another shithead that shot at 2 police officers during a traffic stop not far from my office here will probably serve 11 years if he’s convicted on everything.

    Yes Chicago Democrats, tell me more about how it’s Indiana’s fault we have so many shootings here.
