Sioux City South Dakota. I just gotta get eff out of here. End of October Meeting a buddy from college and going pheasant hunting with his dad for 5 days. The drive is 24 hours. Driving there would be fun. Two twelve hour days on the back end sent me to the loving arms of American Airlines. I have a $910 credit from a trip I had to cancel this month to Louisville. First Class to SSSD is $726. I'll just wear an N95 the whole time I'm on a plane Probably the cleanest airplanes have ever been.

Oh dang, I used to hunt up there every fall. What area are you hunting in?

They are here.
At least, I believe so, I haven't been anywhere near a mall since 2009.

The Republican nominee for Delaware Senator posted that right after Ginsburg died. She has since deleted it after all of the flak she received.

The opossum tried to hide/run from me and it basically went under the first step/stair going to the next floor, causing it to fall one story into the lower level below (outdoor apartment). I quickly ran to the staircase to see if it was okay, and it looked pretty dazed but it started walking again. Hid by one of the lower level apartment doors and then came out about 30 seconds later. I decided instead of it trying to climb up and potentially falling again which would certainly kill it if done a second time, I would bring the can of food downstairs so it can finish its meal.

About 2-3 minutes later after I explained to what happened it was gone, presumably ran off into the lower level picnic/ravine area. Feels because I did not want it to run/hide from me and I feel like if it dies due to the injuries it's partly my fault, even though I was basically hugging the wall and 15-20 ft away from it at all times.

If It does not die because of the fall, I would have to say it's probably one of the most random moments that have happened to me in a long while.

Fucking hell.
We clearly need more guns in the hands of the teenage girls that frequent malls so they can stop the bad guy with a gun.

No casualties thank goodness

I'm strategizing what to do with us next, seems like neither of us are showing signs of getting sick so we either wait here longer or go to my mom's house and I get the older one to school tomorrow. Stupid covid tests taking four days is no bueno.

Staying up here for a few days would be pretty chill doe. What to do...?

We are on semi lockdown for the same thing here. Kids have those symptoms and I feel really really run gotten. Waiting on test results... I say stay up there!

That's awesome, great to hear it. Did they apprehend the gunman/gunwoman? People bringing heat to a mall blows my mind, maybe I've been assimilated to think not having protection is but I'm still not dead yet so

My bro has a few guns, maybe if I go to a range and snap a few rounds off I might start to love it but ignorance is bliss.

I carry for work and my opinion is guns in the hands of the general public in a situation like this are absolutely no protection. You won't win that fight and you'll probably hurt or kill someone else. Most people don't shoot enough to be remotely good enough to actually defend themselves. Add in adrenaline and fear...

Animals are impressively resilient. I've watched squirrels fall 40' from a tree and just get up and ran away.

Still, not a great idea to be feeding wildlife around an apt IMO. Opossums are chill, but rats suck.

Oh man, I can visualize one or more scared morans firing and missing at the "bad guy" in a public forum. Fuck
