War

By Orion on Sun, 09/04/2022 - 6:37am |

Back in 2016, the Pulse nightclub in Florida was attacked by a gunman. I was staying with a gay roommate in Portland who became hysterical and verbally abusive. It wasn't fun but I took my lumps. I could understand and feel how he felt. He sat me down and asked me a few questions.

"Michael, come here."

"What is it, Gene?" I replied.

"Do you think that we are in some kind of a social war?" He asked me.

Reassessing Violence

By Orion on Mon, 05/09/2022 - 6:03pm |

During a conversation, Artappraiser took note of the fact that everything going on in Ukraine reinforces the need for people to have firearms in order to defend themselves or a community. I retorted by saying that the weapons there are only accessible by militia members, who get them after an application process.

I don't know if all you guys are familiar with this show or not. It was on Netflix a couple of years ago. I have an aside about it.

Artappraiser inspired this with her post about "the fall of Seattle" and how the George Floyd protests made them especially harmful for the Pacific Northwest.
