Yes they do, when it is mistaken for a real gun.

Unfortunately, I can think of one instance. I believe it was in the Midwest,
five or more years ago. A young black kid was reported to have an assault
rifle in a park. The police pulled up, he pointed it at them, and they shot
him to death. It was a toy gun. I dont remember whether it had a orange
ring on the front of the barrel.
One could google it, but I remember it. The date estimate and location may be
off, but it happened and made national news.
The incident was a tragedy, not a study in social justice or critical race
theory.

I dont think "rigor mortis" is the word youre looking for Julie, unless
Justin is dead. I may be confused.

Your teacher didnt instruct you that history repeats itself over and over.
What appears new can always be referenced to the past. Unfortunately today,
we have the means to end that cycle, once and for all.

You're right. What's happening with Trump in the US mirrors what
happened in Germany with Hitler in the 30s. Unfortunately, you haven't
learnt anything from that.

I meant that the brownies dried up until they were hard as a rock.

What makes me think they are nuts locally is a run on milk and other
'must be cooled' items.

Grin, I get beer.

I hope you know that youre my favorite idiot. I appreciate your attention.
I couldnt live without it, and more importantly, you actually think you
know something

Well, that's not something everybody can say.

It is odd. Each hurricane season, I try to use up freezer
things and keep all cold items to a minimum. The power
outages are a sure thing.

Yes. Beer is a staple.

I don't know. A French order, which is why they were called Soeur

I don't suppose it ever occurred to you or your parents that you
could ride the bus, too, and only walk two blocks home.

Like I said... I figured out that I could ride the bus when I went to Gina's
apartment. Sometimes I just said I was going to her place so I only had to
walk a few blocks. I couldn't do this often though as the bus was usually
full. And she didn't live there for very long so I only did this a few
times. I was also warned by the bus driver that I was not supposed to do
this.

I could *not* ride the bus, based on my address. And not just anyone could
get on the bus. As I said, there were only two buses. And a bus has only so
much room.

I don't believe you that the bus planners made people who live
farther away walk while people who live closer take a bus.

I myself took one bus to school (so I could get stoned with my
friends) and a different one home that was slightly closer when I
was all burned out.

It's a time anomaly, so would have encompassed both past and future
events, regardless of spatial location.

The bothell time warp would have extended to you, even if you went
to school in china.
