...never worried about and never experienced any kind of violence. No shootings, no stabbings, no fights, just booze, dancing and good times.

Things have changed.

It had been twelve hours since the last one. These days, it looks like that is motive enough.

Maybe the Republicans will get their massacre on the House floor sooner than anyone thinks. Santos will say it he was merely standing his ground. Gaetz, Gosar, Boebert and Greene will back him up, as will five "Justices" on the Supreme Court.
