stood 2 inches away from the police and scream at the top of their lungs and the police just kinda
stood there and did nothing.

(63,221 posts)Sometimes I wonder if this is like Europe, pre WWII and if it's just a good idea for those of us who can to get out of here while we have the chance. I don't think I can, but I can only see things getting worse. I wish I could be more optimistic.

She was hit in the eye and died.
