lots of context + some details murky. hot take seems like penalties for bringing gun to protest warranted, also for tossing bricks

wait so one of the protesters shot someone? Might charges be brought? Do you not have to be in fear for your life?

anyway, so to answer this: status quo ante, most likely cause of death for me probably getting hit by a car, then maybe suicide

not that I'm suicidal but. Right now I think most people shot in Seattle are attacked by police, mentally disturbed, or partners.

mostly guns aren't a feature but a flying brick or a petrol bomb can kill you same as a bullet. And this, before Right fights back
