    i work near a hospital's ER intake and at some point in the last couple of years, some Class 1 dipshit showed up, pulled a piece, and started waving it around, creating a hostage situation that went on for hours. it wasn't even over something understandable, like wanting to put two in some administrator's chest over a surprise bill. it was like a child custody thing. obviously, an all time move for getting the courts to restore your visitation rights: getting tooled up and coming into an ER, in full yosemite sam mode.

    anyway, so there's been a security checkpoint there ever since. gotta go by the armed guy with the security wand before you can even get into the ER. every time i see it i remember how fucked this country is and how me or somebody i know is gonna get clipped over some idiot's personal bullshit because we were in the background buying toilet paper and cat food.
