Sounds like a good plan.

Makes sense. Less children and other innocent people caught in the crossfire during daylight hours.

I want some of what she was smoking at lunch. As opposed to thoughts and prayers when there is a mass shooting that you offer? |

Isn't this referred to as a cease-fire in non-functional countries?

Glad you can laugh about gun violence while my DD15 was stuck in classroom lockdown for 3 hours yesterday at her high school after reports of a gun on campus. There were 5-6 such lockdowns last year, and this in a fairly affluent suburban suburb school with high rankings.

I see this as a positive slippery slope. If you can get even some people to start caring enough to not shoot during those hours, they just might start caring enough to not shoot at all. And if you get some, you just might get some more who don't need to retaliate. I see it as worth the effort.

I want some of what she was smoking at lunch. You seem to be already smoking it 24/7 if you think it's funny. |

The other day I saw a map of the us showing violent crime by state. I was surprised that Alaska was high - and all the Southern states were moderate to high. Also surprising the northern/New England states were moderate to low.
I guess the constant complaints by the far right about the failed democratic cities with their high crime numbers makes us over look the rural MAGA areas with their high meth driven crime rates.
I know in my rural area, next to Meth Mountain, the drug lords are always getting into it, but since they are white guys and not scary urban guys, that kind of crime is ok.

what we are seeing very clearly in this episode with Trump is how little we care about crime committed by white people.
which means that Law and Order is just another dog whistle for the racist right.
Law and Order means keeping the brown people in line.
