  • allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

    When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.

    That’s when one of the men dressed in the vests shot three rounds, hitting Gamboa and Ah Loo, said Redd. Gamboa, who police said didn’t have a criminal history, was wounded and treated before being booked into jail.

    Emphasis mine. If that’s true, that could have become a mass shooting.
    Still sucks to be the innocent bystander though.










  • IDK, maybe, I might be one of those guys and didn’t really notice before.
    I don’t believe I do this differently around women vs men.
    I’m often too busy in my own head to pay much attention. So, if your body language isn’t sketchy like drunk or overly aggressive, odds are I’ve zoned out and you didn’t register much.

    Anyway, I’m a generally silent walker.
    If I’m not paying attention, I might end up sneaking up on someone without meaning to, which can then startle them or spook them. Like, I spook my cat often enough and they’re the actual predators.

    But yea, late at night, I think I might subconsciously make myself known ahead of time just as a simple courtesy.
    I’d rather not find out whether anyone’s more of a fight/flight person when they finally notice me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Me? I’m the throat clearing guy. Hi. Ahem.

    PS: I have 20+ years experience of throat clearing. Yes I’ve seen doctors, they didn’t find anything other than yea we can see inflammation in your vocal chords, no there’s nothing we can do, just stop doing it. That or prescribe random shit that actually fucks up other basic bodily functions and create actual problems.

    Anyway, I’m sorry if it’s weird.



  • “Everybody can admit that we need to look at efficiency. It’s been a problem for decades,” Muro said. “[But] when you’re dealing with veterans, you have to be more intentional with your actions. You have to be more surgical. … It’s almost like he’s trying to tear the VA down.”

    When you’re dealing with… anything… mate.
    Yea, it’s almost like he’s trying to tear your whole government apart
    It’s like even now he’s just bummed that it happened to him or people he knows but still doesn’t see the big fucking picture.




  • Dear Mr. Daniel,
    I’m sorry that a store pulling things from their shelves is hurting your business, but I thought you should know that this is not even the tip of the iceberg.
    Regardless of what any store does, I will simply not be buying Jack Daniel’s, probably ever, along with a slew of other things, as many as I possibly can.

    There are so many better whiskeys around the world that I certainly don’t need to.
    I empathize with the collateral damage this may cause, and hope that something, anything really, is eventually enough for y’all fuckers to start thinking about getting your shit together.
    In the meantime, I will simply Buy Anything But American.

    I am just one person, but I am not alone.
    Sincerely,
    Fix your shit or get fucked,
    A random Canadian
