Re the leaf blower thing...
Seems early in the news cycle but
some articles mention interviews with neighbors who described the shooter as a crank who has displayed firearms in the past.
Which seems to be a good start for turning this into a gunz thread, which I won't.
But it's not the first time that folks have had it "up to here" with noise and wound up shooting, stabbing, beating, running over, etc. other folks over it.
Which makes it unavoidable for me to think that hey, if multiple people hate something so much that they are willing to do hard time to make it stop, then maybe, just
maybe, I should not be doing that fuckin' thing that folks hate so much.
But then I'd be, like,
woke or something, amiright.
I was kinda' curious to learn more about the victim but there's not much out there. He has a FB profile but either not much in it or it's been scrubbed. Judging by his pic, the cynical part of me figured the erased FB banner pic was of a H-D or something. I did learn he was a long time Kung-Fu disciple. That appears to not have helped much, either in his ability to dodge a head GSW or in his ability to be reason successfully with an unstable neighbor. The obit mentioning Kung-Fu also incudes: "He strived to create happy events and opportunities in life while making sure the ones around him were happy as well." Apparently he guessed wrong about his neighbor being happy with the leaf blower?
I'm waiting to hear more about Lacchei, who, in a more recent article, was said to have already sold his home and was planning to leave the country. And who looks like a poster-boy for GET OFFA MY LAWN!
