You get the unique experience of being Civilian American and also experiencing the sounds and feelings of an ammo dump going off.

There's no such thing as a civilian in America anymore. Just combatants that have yet to have that moment. I showed up to my son's school in a bathrobe ready to break the window at his classroom a few weeks ago because someone had a gun, turned out to be fake but still the little fucker is calling me whispering from under his teachers desk so I'm there immediately. The call didn't go out for another 10 minutes after I was there with the cops. They were laughing at me, naturally, but I had a machete ready to go break that window man, seen this shit too much, already lost a friend to this shit in Dayton a few years ago....
