[FRIAM] Breakfast in Santa Fe

[uǝlƃ ☤>$]

Well, to contrast that a bit, I've had guns pointed at me (aggressively) 3 times. (Many more "playfully".) None of them pulled the trigger, luckily. But that just proves that they do NOT take guns seriously. They are more toy, less weapon ... which makes them even more dangerous. Also, 2 of my friends from high school were murdered, one with a gun, one with a knife.

This country is more violent than privileged white dudes might have you believe. Jochen would be wise to take vacation in a civilized country.
