In a Nation Armed to the Teeth, These Tiny Missteps Led to Tragedy

A workman #knocking on the wrong door. A cheerleader mistaking another car for her own. Small errors can have large consequences in a nation bristling with #guns.

"Each one of these incidents resulted from unique events. But activists and researchers say they stem from a convergence of bigger factors — increased fear of crime and an attendant surge in #gun ownership, increasingly extreme political messaging on firearms, fearmongering in the #media and marketing campaigns by the gun industry that portray the suburban front door as a fortified barrier against a violent world."

Many drivers just ignore engine noise and hope that, it’ll just go away on its own.
Chances are it won’t, and that engine noise will only get worse, leaving you with an even bigger problem.
So, be sure to properly inspect and verify the root cause of the engine noise. Because, it can be tricky to pinpoint.

@lucifermorningstar #elonmusk is available as an exemplar. He has 4000 odd irate ex-employees who could assist and it can probably be done without #knocking down the #door since it seems the #disconnection of swipe cards is occurring well behind the numbers becoming #exemployees.

This of course means the buildings remain useful and could be homes for large furry Pachyderms with little or no money and a raft of voluntary carers.

Quite happy that #Oranje won #knocking out the #USA.

This #fifa #worldcup has produced some stunning results & upsets, although I wouldn't call #Germany an upset, they did what they did 4 years ago.

Some great games & stunning results. Now begins the knockout stage with the #UnitedStatesOfAmerica being the #First team knocked out

As a #Canadian I'm overjoyed

I'm also a #NED #Nederlands fan & would love to see them in the final

They should've won it all in 2014, that team was awesome
