I was going to rant earlier this evening about the disaster earlier this evening. 300k people in a four-square block area. I can't get home on Muni. Fracking drunken bridgentunnel jackasses blah blah blah...then I thought better of it and went about my business in the relative safety of my living room.

About an hour ago, amidst the screaming and helicopters and dumping of trash cans, I heard a series of sharp pops. I figured it was just fireworks.

Wrong: five ten people were shot about 2 blocks from here.
