Probably multiple someones. I await with dread the day I check the news to see another Pulse... Or someone shooting up a school with a gay teacher... Or someone opening fire on Drag Queen Story Time.

When that happens, I fully expect the UltraMAGA's to not even bother with "tots and pears"... Just scowling at us that "YOU ASKED FOR IT!", or laughter.

I don't blame this church for asking for extra protection. It's sad that it's necessary, but, look where we are between the hatred and mass shootings in 2022.

What a shitshow. What a nightmare.
