The truth is we don't know what really happened.
We don't know if all these people had history and knew one other.
We really don't know what was done or said.
I do know that people think they can say whatever they want these days.
The truth is that sometimes you run into the wrong type of person and if you say something to them you better be ready to back it up.
Some people might just punch you in the nose and others might come back with a gun and shoot you just because.
If someone or something was to blame I would blame TV, Movies and Video Games.
Believe it or not but that programming can desensitize a person.
It can also change behavior.
Of course it doesn't influence everyone to a degree of madness or violence but with current world/life conditions I can see how everything is compounded.
Once again though, enforcing a mask policy is not worth dying over unless you are just trying to commit suicide.
I don't think that people realize that it wasn't long ago people would kill you over two bits (25cents).
It was very common if you were in the wrong neighborhood or say the wild west you could get killed over the shoes/boots/coat you had on.
Most people take this modern day safety for granted (not granite) but the truth is the world is a very dangerous place with monsters in every corner.
I agree 100% with this. Only takes 1 generation to turn a society from civilized to savage.

Most people on here scared of losing their big house and lifestyle. I never cared for money. I make far more money than I can spend. Thats because I'm cheap though.

My personal opinion is we're living in the best time ever. Most of the environment is still more or less in decent shape and we have all the resources still abundant. The selection of food we have available is incredible. People have come to expect that. Shrug. It won't last, so I'm just thankful. 100 years ago would have been interesting but there were no computers. I can now sit on youtube and learn everything I want about China and decide I'd rather NOT visit. lol.

I was around Gary Indiana, but by the casinos. Took a Lyft but their directions didn't work and it kept routing them to this road that blocked. First guy knew about it and didn't go that way. Other Lyft immigrant dude drives around, won't stop and let me figure it out since he was incapable and then decides to ask in the most ghetto area in America. So he asks 2 black dudes in a black tinted out sports car, where the casino is. They say "follow us". I finally had to start yelling at the dude to stop following them - as they were leading us to nowhere. So either there was a route around or I was going to be robbed or worse. I fucking yelled at that stupid driver to stop following them and reverse the car down a 1 way road. No clue if I was smart or paranoid, but I was told later that area is the new Gary by another driver. Not many cameras around, no one outside. Just dead industrial area. 2 black dudes knowing a white guy wants to go to a casino. lol. That happened earlier this year.
