Summer is winding down as we careen toward Labor Day weekend, although locally it is crazy hot and getting hotter by the end of the week.
98 plus high humidity means miserable conditions and yes I am aware there are places that are hotter, etc.
Anyway, it was a big weekend for mass shootings, with ten from Friday through Sunday. Here are just a few.
9 shot, none fatally in Milwaukee. Sheer coincidence here….
Victor Huyke said he saw the news and aftermath on Facebook just hours after encouraging the hundreds planning to party in the area Saturday night to be considerate and responsible, at the request of the area’s business owners.
“It basically started out as a carryover from the Puerto Rican festival,” he said. “Every year it got worse and worse and worse. The garbage. The loud music. The burning of the rubber on the street.”
Huyke said he helped organize Puerto Rican Festival in previous years so he is familiar with the event and the community.

I am sure that is unrelated. Going one state over to Mogadishu-on-the-Mississippi, aka Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Five teenage boys and three adults were injured Sunday in a shooting in south Minneapolis, the neighborhood’s second mass shooting in just nine days.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says it happened just before 6 p.m. near the intersection of East Franklin and Chicago avenues in the Ventura Village neighborhood of the Phillips community.

Two mass shootings in one neighborhood in 9 days. Very nice place to hang out. Finally way out West in once lovely Seattle. This one has a few fatalities…
Three people are dead and six others wounded after a shooting Sunday at a hookah lounge in south Seattle, authorities said.
City police didn’t immediately release any information about a possible suspect or suspects in the Sunday’s early morning shooting in the Mount Baker neighborhood.

Ah the ol’ hookah lounge, those rank right up there with block parties and celebration of life events as mass shooting magnets. It is located in the 2200 block of Rainier Avenue South and the only place I see there is the Rainier Hookah Lounge that seems to sit behind a dry cleaner and Asian fusion restaurant in a shitty neighborhood. It looks like a great place to get shot, pick up an STD or some other highly communicable disease.
26 people shot in just three mass shootings and the stories barely are noted in local media, much less in national news. I wonder why?
Damn. All I can focus on is the 23 non-fatalities from those three prayer meetings that we, the [White, working] taxpayers have to shell out for, assuming da bois aren’t waving an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield card on the way in to the ER. Beginning to think they’ve got that whole reparations thingee backwards.
If anyone who has to Pay for their own Healthcare wonders why it Cost so much (for shitty service and bad outcomes) here is a good Example. Gunshot Wounds are expensive to treat, as well as the resulting Disabilities from them. Every Ghetto-Rat that gets Shot MUST be given a ‘Maximum Effort’ Treatment, or else it be RAAAYCISSS and the Hospitals will be attacked by (((lawyers))) and the rest of the ‘civil rights’ Machine.
Then add in the Tens of Millions of Illegal Aliens (and their spawn) that get “Free” Healthcare, often by wandering in to already Overcrowded Emergency Rooms.
Right on. I’m getting tired of paying high premiums (and this is with employer provided health insurance), and high co-pays, for shitty care, to subsidize the freeloaders
Remember, the Labor Day Telethon is right around the corner! They’ll need to work to get those rookie numbers up!
