Oh wait, I severely understated my last post. It was 46 people shot here in Chicago over the weekend.

It was 17 in two hours but 46 over the last three days.

@OfflineFriend Lol, sorry. 😉

@sarabee1995 Unfortunately, yes, it's true.

Now the "good" news - if you can really call it good - is that 39 of the victims survived without major injury. Although that still means 7 people died...

@sarabee1995 Thankfully not, and even so, I'm pretty paranoid when I walk around the city. I wear an upper made of heavily tanned leather under my jacket. It's not enough to stop a bullet, of course, but it's enough to slow one down considerably and drastically decrease the chances that I'm killed should I ever be shot. And it's also impervious to most knife stabs. People don't realize it but thick tanned leather is incredibly good at stopping a blade. A YouTuber named Skallagrim even did a video testing various sword blades against it and almost all of them failed to penetrate it.

@BlueMetalChick It is awful that you even feel the need to know these things. I'm so sorry that my country allows such lawlessness within our boarders. 😔

@sarabee1995 One day, it'll change.
