  • I’ll agree that it was unlikely. Someone probably had it in a jacket pocket or something they used when hunting last and it fell out. Sucks for them, that’s probably not cheap.

    Happened to kids I went to high school with. One guy I knew had to call out sick because he forgot he had a few boxes of ammo in the back of his truck from hunting over there weekend. Pulled in to school, saw the boxes, and realized he didn’t have time to get home and back before lunch. So he just noped out rather than get in all the trouble.

    It should be noted here that “hobbies” in this case should provide enrichment to the kids that are in your life tangentially.

    Be the cool Aunt/Uncle that inspires. Give kids gifts that create memories and are unique. Open the door to creativity that their patents can’t afford it don’t have the time to manage. Basically, be grandparents with less doting and better knees.

    Brewing beer or playing COD doesn’t hit the same way as teaching someone to cook or code or carve wood.

    Edit: These are some of my hobbies, I’m saying that I’m also not helping matters, eirher. This isn’t judgment, it’s introspection.




  • That is true, though. Mob violence doesn’t care about evidence, the law, proportionality to the crime, or the victims. It’s terrorism built around emotional and fear responses. Lynchings were not the same as a judge amd jury weighing out the death penalty vs. life in prison. Depending on the court, one can even appeal the death penalty ruling, and new evidence can overturn the ruling if there’s time.
