I agree with all the points above, but have one more quibble.
People, take your earbuds out/headphones off. Your sense of hearing is the only medium- to long-range 360 degree sense you have. If you are listening to your environment, you may hear trouble coming. If you're blasting Taylor Swift at 377 dB, the first thing you'll know about trouble is when St. Peter taps you on your shoulder.
Vow, right now and until your final breath, to unleash the vindication of St. Michael the Archangel, who drove Satan back through the gates of Hell, upon those who would threaten the peaceful existence of you, or your loved ones.
Knowledge, skill, and equipment are very good to have; resolve to win is vital.
This is brutal, but vital to remember.
The Judge Teresa Stokes that released Decarlos Brown Jr. 14 times ....
was also director of Operations at Pinnacle Mental Illness Recovery center.
Guess where Decarlos Brown Jr. was sent to, and released from, ....14 times?
Pinnacle Mental Illness Recovery center.
You cant make this shit up.
As unlikely as it is in N.C., Judge Stokes should be impeached and banned from ever holding an offce of public trust.
At the very least.

And that includes running/jogging/biking/hiking.
Open ear headphones are a thing. They allow you to hear the world around you while you have them on.
I feel nostalgic for when this was the worst news of the week.

I fully agree.

I could not have said this better....
In fact....
Ditto. Ian seems to be a master at "truth bombs" and "hate facts". PBUH, but in a good way.
Thanks Ian. I will try to spread this among those I think may listen.
I have stopped trying to use logic to change the minds of those committed to their beliefs by emotion.

Amen Brother, Amen!
And NC politicians weigh in on this atrocity... it is unfair that stabbings should increase NC murder statistics.
Listen to, and trust your instincts.
All true. EVERY DAMN WORD.
Thank you for this! Excellent advice as always.
Heartbreaking and a wake up call.
Wish I could have trained with Matt Graham, great that you posted his KR’s.
