ick ew yuck scary

Last night some guy got shot and (presumably) carjacked where I normally park a few times a week.

I’m not usually parked there after dark (deliberately), but I was planning to turn onto Union St from PA Ave at 9 PM last night when I realized that a stretch of yellow tape and a plethora of police cars were impeding my ability to do so. I assumed it was some drug thing, as it’s a druggy kind of area, and now, terrible as it may sound, I hope it was some drug thing. I’d much rather believe that than think that it was random.

  1. the ppl in my house lock the door now. also one girl borrows a steak knife from the kitchen when she goes out. hahaha. god.

    also there are apparently unhealthily high levels of nitrates in westminster water, according to environmental prof. here at mcd.

    WEEEE ARMAGEDDON

  2. That nitrate thing intrigued me.

    Consumer Factsheet on: NITRATES/NITRITES

    What are the health effects?

    Short-term: Excessive levels of nitrate in drinking water have caused serious illness and sometimes death. The serious illness in infants is due to the conversion of nitrate to nitrite by the body, which can interfere with the oxygen-carrying capacity of the childs blood. This can be an acute condition in which health deteriorates rapidly over a period of days. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin.

    Long-term: Nitrates and nitrites have the potential to cause the following effects from a lifetime exposure at levels above the MCL: diuresis, increased starchy deposits and hemorrhaging of the spleen.

    And from the Baltimore Sun: Don’t use tap water for infants, Westminster says

  3. It could have been a random drug thing. It could have been some dude on happy pills found a gun laying around an alley and shot the 5th person he saw who had brown hair because the lamp post told him to do it.

    Personally, I’d be more comforted if I knew it was a mob thing because I’m not in the mob and I don’t have any dealings with them so I know I’d be safe because they don’t shoot random people. Or a cowboy thing. They usually only shoot people over cheatin’ at cards or cattle rustlein. I don’t know how to do either of those things so I’m safe there, too.

  5. i’m thinkin it was drugs cos i’ve seen things happening there that were regular whatever and things that were slightly shady exchange

    Not responding to actual comment posted. Just wanted to contact you. No real reason why. Feeling sentimental I guess, maybe the holidays. My father-in-law was in town and saw a picture I have of you, Johanna, Colleen and myself on my 15th birthday that I have framed and asked an innocent question of “who are the ppl in the picture”. It planted a seed and decided to search on the web under all of your names and see what came up. That is how I found myself at http://www.sunsetchaser.net What a surprise! I was looking for a way to contact you and didn’t find one so just decided to respond to the most recent post. Anyways it got me wondering why I still after many years of no correspodence feel connected to you 3? THe only answer I could come up with while eating my enchilade lunch was that we were friends when we were still innocent. When we weren’t marked by society. And so I feel like you 3 know the real me. THe me I don’t even know anymore.
    Anyways…… I thought I was just going to write something like “hey guess who…” type thing. Apparently not. Trust all is well with you. I have huge regrets that I couldn’t get it together to drive to ABQ on your way thru New Mexico to meet up with you. I felt extremely lame afterwards. Maybe there will be a next time…
    LOVE YOU!
    LAKSHMI K……..
