This post will act as an update to what is going on.
As more and more people find out and start asking questions, the more this Pandemic has hurt us all. It's hard for me to go out amongst people, and even to have people to go out amongst, when everyone is staying at home as much as possible.
When folks do go out, there is a mask covering most of their face. There is no facial expression involved in conversation. it sucks.
I left Arizona to go visit family in April and was essentially in Ocala, Florida lockdown until just recently. Lockdown is pretty much a running joke in Ocala though. That town is Pro-Trump, Anti-Mask, Pro-gun, Pro-Big Ass trucks and, in my estimation, Anti-Comfortable. Both its temperate climate and its Anti-Temperate climate had run their course with me, enough to make a mad dash back to thinner air in Arizona in the middle of an Anti-viral, political frenzy.
I cut my efforts short on the traveling, I missed three memorials I had planned to attend. Hopefully, I will be on hand next year. On my way across from Florida to Arizona, I stopped by El Paso, Texas to visit the Candella Memorial.
The Candella Memorial was put in place in the parking lot in front of the Walmart were the 23 people were killed.
Patrick Crusius Killed 24 and injured 22 there on August 3, 2019. Originally the number was 23 and 23, but another died from his injuries in April 2020.
What a grand waste. What was gained? Have immigrants stopped coming? Has some epiphinal vision now been realized?
No. Just another shooting
I now have more direct empathy for the families of these 56 people. We are all in the same club now. Us and more of the family friends. I wonder how all these people will vote this season.
What you did Patrick, is to make things worse for your cause. These people are now martyrs for the cause that have brought a couple hundred more with them.
It is foolish to think that violence will get you your way or further your cause in any way.
Now Screw Off. Stare at some bars and leave us to continue.
I was able to hand out quite a few books while visiting the memorial. I waited till dark to get some pics with the lights on.
