Surprise, another old white guy

Investigators learned that several children were playing hide and seek in the Starks community and were hiding on the neighbor’s property.

Doyle told detectives that he got his gun when he saw shadows outside his home and shot at people he saw running away, unknowingly hitting the girl, officials said.

Injuries not considered life threatening

Folks, it’s time to talk to our kids about staying away from old white people, especially their houses. Not even kidding.

    soy Liz Bruenig liberalism that is too idealist to mention private property relations:

    This process, through which mundane uncomfortable situations are transformed into terrifying ordeals by all the incidents of random gun violence that came before, is one means by which a healthy community becomes a violent society. Nobody looks forward to encountering people behaving erratically on the subway in your backyard, and neither does anyone want to fall victim to an act of stochastic violence, but killing a mentally ill man on a train child playing hide and seek doesn’t represent much of an improvement upon either circumstance. It represents the loss of a peaceful commons, the absence of compassion, and the overwhelming fear we have come to accept in our culture of violence. This is the country we have become.

      Probably would be better to point out the alienation and isolation that stems from the inherent design of suburbia and how it destroys the last vestiges of communal life shared by people by thoroughly atomizing every aspect of life

      Could there be consumerist propaganda and material economic pressures contributing to that? :cap-think:
