Of course they do. The reason all the traitors on Jan 6 didn’t bring their guns was because they didn’t want to catch a weapons charge.

Many movie studios are opening in MA. Some are being built, some are warehouses converted to be studios. The windows would be used for the production offices.

I'm 19 and have a great work life balance

Ok boomer with no work life balance.

Why don’t you walk us through your train of thought on this comment. Let’s see if we can extract its intended meaning or make some sense out of it.

I'm a contractor that's not how it works

Guns. We have lots and lots of guns.

Well good thing you live in a Blue state with mandatory sick time.

A film buy Michael Bay 💥💥💥

Hmm interesting

I'm not a justice warrior, I'm a conservative and I need to make money so I can pay bills

And you won’t call in sick to fight police brutality? What kind of justice warrior are you?

I work full-time and would be out of work before 4.

Monday I'll be working 6-3 (9 hours). Anyone who works 7-3 (8 hours) or 8-4 (8 hours) could do it too. I imagine someone working part-time could also easily make that schedule.

Arguably, if the protest lasted longer than 1 hour, someone working 9-5 could still show up.

Yes . I would go to Phu-Ket Thai Restaurant or Viva Mi Arepa. Both are great.

>This is why I don't go to the mall.

I won't deny that I felt lucky that I managed to get my twice a year desire to visit the Hampshire Mall out of my system a week previous.

But the reality is that there's more danger in driving to the mall than in being there - road fatalities in MA are twice as common as homicides, and the majority of homicide victims were (even if through no fault of their own) parties to an existing conflict - death as an uninvolved homicide victim like this is horrifying in its violence and randomness, but extremely rare in the scope of risks we face in our everyday lives.

We should absolutely not accept shootings or other homicides at any rate.

But driving carefully and defensively makes more practical difference than refusing to do ordinary things would.

happens on rare occasion - at the last glimpse of sunset a green flash shoots up into the sky. Some go their whole lives without ever seeing it, some claim to have seen it who ain't and some say that it signals when a souls comes back to this world from the dead

Looks like you were right, they ARE garage bays! My mistake!

We have a winner! Thank you!

I'm kind of disappointed that it's a warehouse, though. That's a boring part of Route 1. It needs something more fun than a warehouse.

>And now seeing this just puts my fear and worry into reality.

We absolutely should not accept things like this happening.

But in terms of managing fear it's useful to keep two things in mind:

1. Road fatalities in Massachusetts are twice as common as homicides; you're more likely to be killed on the way to the mall than once there
2. Homicides in Massachusetts are less than half the national average

And those numbers are looking at homicides overall, which are dominated by situations where there is an existing and known (even if one-sided) conflict between the parties. A bystander being killed is shocking and horrifying, but it is also even less common - the rate of "random" homicides is really very very low in terms of the risks we face when going about our lives.

Even though it is on the rise again, gun violence actually peaked in the 90s and has dropped since then. There's always been shootings which you don't hear anything about, the only reason this one is making it further than local news is because it happened in a mall.

Just FYI to everyone that downvotes, i was pointing out that gun free zones dont work
