MAN FIRED FOR RIGHTEOUSLY BEARING ARMS
When a neighbor screamed she’d been shot, Colin Bruley grabbed his shotgun, found the victim and began treating her bloodied right leg. Tonnetta Lee survived Tuesday’s pre-dawn shooting at her Jacksonville apartment, and her sister and a neighbor praised Bruley’s actions. But his employers, the same people who own the Arlington complex where Bruley lives, reacted differently. They fired him.

I LOVE THE TASTE OF CONCRETE IN THE EVENING.
I would tell you all about getting my face mushed up against a wall for not fully concealing my legally carried firearm in public, but right now, I’m just too sad. I mostly got over the angry, now I’m just sad for the future of the nation as a whole, which is worse. Stream of Consciousness to follow.
