32. "after a relative lull during the pandemic."

Apr 2021

I remember talking with a peer at work right around the end of Feb beginning of March about how there had not been any of these lately...

8 people dead...GFD. These people were just living their lives. They got up yesterday, went to go work the night shift at the airport FedEx, sorting packages or loading pods or planes or doing maintenance or facilities work...who knows...just doing what they do to survive...and some a@@hole who’s pissed/frustrated or whatever the fuck their problem is has to take their lives. Why can’t these phuckers just take out their 💩 on themselves and let others be...WTF.

I wish they'd just kill themselves first jmbar2 Apr 2021 #1
