(38,263 posts)It's those damned bloody altruistic genes I carry. Same reason how my wife and I first met as big city public school teachers.
Gunshots? Time to take kids inside and play on the floor in the back bedroom, away from the street.
My wife was in the E.R. that day, on the team patching up the guy who got shot. Me and our kids retreated to playing Lego on the floor in the back bedroom. We lived in house that had patched up bullet holes in it, another story. I still drive an old car, different story, with a bullet hole scar.
Always just before the stories get really strange... I was walking my kid to school the next day and the blood stains were still visible on the sidewalk.
This poor guy who was shot by the cop and patched up couldn't stay out of trouble and was later shot and killed by gangsters in another city.
Guns are stupid.
