Deante Strickland, former PSU basketball star, dead, others injured in NE Portland shooting; suspect at large https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2019/08/police-responding-to-ne-portland-shooting.html
So many senseless killings. Week after week. You try not to get numb to it because each life snuffed out is just a total waste of human potential. Mental illness, drugs, blind stupid anger? Who knows. There’s never an answer that really helps put things in a context that satisfactorily explains another young life just...gone. Pundits, politicians and message boards all hunker down into the same worn out lines on gun policy and NOTHING ever changes. Just really sad. RIP, Deante.
Ok, two thoughts on this. 1. 15 fucking minutes for help to to get there? 2. Let's all hope the sister hangs herself quickly to save the lovely taxpaying people of Portland money.
