SOOO not my world. (Although Anaconda’s county voted – just barely – for Kamala Harris!) But give me a Montana minute here; let a blue coastal elite take a gander at our country’s deep red, Number One For Suicide, state, as one of its towns grapples with a mass murder.
Lane “Shorty” Ruegamer, a regular at the Owl [Bar, site of the massacre], said he doubted Brown would attempt a return to Anaconda.
“He knows that every person down at the bottom of that hill has guns, and there’s no doubt in my mind that every person does,” Ruegamer said.
Yeah but see here Shorty you’re thinking rationally; the paranoid schizophrenic who killed your buddies is a maniac who does not think rationally, ja? He comes bombing back into town, naked, trailing the dead birds he’s been snacking on, and announcing he’s a visitor from the neolithic era; and before you can say Heckler & Koch HK G11 ACR he’s killing you and your kids.
That’s the problem with arming crazy people – don’t make no never mind how many weapons you’ve stored up. They’re going to surprise you. It took a raving lunatic to just park his car in the middle of Park Avenue and just walk up to folks in a Manhattan lobby and just powpowpow … That’s fucking nuts and that’s why it worked so well. Your local killer’s not going Oh everyone’s got guns so I better stay clear. He doesn’t think the way you do, and maybe if your local police/medical establishment had hold of that fact a little earlier…
