I keep repeating this every fucking time I read a story like this. IF THE POLICE CAN KILL YOU FOR JUST HAVING A GUN ON YOUR PERSON. THEN WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN GUNS THAT THE SECOND ADMEMENIT SAYS WE DO.
This happens all the fucking time and cops get away with these killings. So we are in a police state.
We need to be allowed to defend ourselves even against the police. If they break into the wrong house ( which they shouldn't be allowed to do without a fucking warrant) then we need to be allowed to shoot those fucking cops.
Then maybe they would take time to make sure they were at the right place.

Yeah decided to keep a detail list. I am reading between 150 to 250 pages a day. Keep in mind some on my list are short stories but my wife says they count. Having a library card and a Libby account been great for that.
And on what reading now hard to clarify. The last book on my list I started and finished yesterday and was 80 pages into Gerald's Game by Stephen King.
Probably finish it today our tomorrow depending on how busy we get a work.
That be neat to do 200 but for now just trying reach 100 mark. I keep three books on hand at a time so we will see. I post a big pic of all the physical books at the beginning of next year and screen shot of the ebook reading list.
I read between 150 to 200 pages a day on average. Started January 2nd to present time. Today reading Gerald's Game by Stephen King. Book I read before but been a long time. Also some of those were short stories I either bought on kindle our got from Libby.
My goal is 100 but believe I will surpass that. I do hope to listen to 25 audiobooks as well before end of year.
But since I don't drive a delivery truck anymore it might not happen. Only listen when commuting or working on Lego.
How I keep track of the physical books I have read. End of year I pull them all out and take a pic of them all.
Also so far I loved In The Lives of Puppets. Also enjoyed The Fireman of course swear he channeled his dads Stand with that novel.
Also the Theodore Boone novels are pretty good.
And just finished a novel that part of series of books accidentally started with the middle novel but called Witch Upon a Star.
