Someone remind me again, why we warned them not to drink bleach?

Just had a shooting at a grocery store parking lot that I regularly go to. Give me a day or two, maybe I will remember why I don't put signs on electric plugs that say, "Knife Sharpner" on them. The misspelling is intentional so it might give someone a clue that there might be an issue.

If more of us were like Republicans, we'd be celebrating their deaths outside of hospitals like liberal versions of Westboro Baptist Church members.

Goodness, I remember a time when it was easy to say, "Forgive them, they know not what they do." That has gotten harder and harder over the last 4.5 years. Now there are days when I ask, "Can I help choose their karma? Please?"
Forgive me, since the edges and limits of my soul are showing.

I've had a less forgiving attitude after the Trump years, and I could probably erupt in blind fury towards them during some kind of unanticipated instigation. I try to avoid those types of situations, such as counter-protesting them or whatever.

for them not doing so, any more than we'd be responsible if they did do so despite the warning.
