The Down Side to Better Weather
More front-porch shootings.
I think if there’s one thing I’ve learned from all of this it’s that one should never sit
A) on a front porch
B) in a parked car in front of a home (especially one’s own home)
If you’re home, get inside seems to be wisest course of action. Also, we’ve got another case of someone being shot in the block, and I am telling you - that shit stings.
