Two black americans were shot and killed right at the oceanfront two
nights ago. One was shot by a cop who "forgot" to turn on his body cam.
Oh boy...here we go again. Cop shoots and kills a black.

The Virginia Beach oceanfront used to be a nice and safe family area
even late at night but that changed years ago when many young gang
people started hanging out there.

And yes...it's mostly young black people. I used to go there at night
often but not now...no way. After dark, it turns into a dangerous getto
area.

Before it voted Trump in 2016? At what exact moment did the US turn into this?

I've always remembered this incident:

A report details how a Montana Forest Service law enforcement officer
was killed by a grizzly bear after a bike collision with animal.

In June last year Brad Treat was fatally mauled by a grizzly bear
after accidentally encountering the bear on a bike trail and
surprising and colliding with the bear.
Full speed impact

According the a report into the incident published this week, Treat
and a friend were mountain biking on the Outer Trail of the Green Gate
Trails in the Flathead National Forest sometime around 2pm.

Treat was leading and went into a blind curve at approximately
20-25mph. On the exit of this curve was the bear. There was no sign of
skidding or evasive steering, indicating that Treat impacted the bear
at full speed.

Imagine what he was thinking as he rounded that bend.....

If it was a sex starved nymphomaniac, carrying Viagra and cocaine,
then yes. Yes I would.

Randomly. It's not always shore drive. Sometimes it's Dam Neck road or
down in Pungo. Best I have recalled, it's normally adults, not
juveniles.
