Another Riverwest Shooting

A Jimmy John’s driver got robbed, shot and killed as he attempted to make a delivery in the neighborhood of Humboldt and Burleigh, in Milwaukee’s Riverwest. Not far from my home, my friends. Very frightening.

This took place about 3 blocks away from the Art Bar, where owner Don Krause was shot in the chest by a 14 year old kid. Thankfully, he lived, but the problems remain: somehow, idiots having no regard for human life are obtaining guns and wreaking havok on innocent people.

Sounds like the war in Iraq.

How can a nation whose history is steeped in warfare have any hope of raising children that shun violence?

The problem is compounded by those who think purchasing a gun solves the problem.

This gun violence must stop.

    I hear you and sort of agree. I would love to move someplace else, somewhere safer.

    Soon enough, but definitely not before winter, unfortunately.

    Wow. 75 degrees. That sounds lovely.

    Are there any retreat centers in your area where someone could check out of reality for a little while, have privacy?

    what you are talking about is gettin naked and lettin it all hang out - say what you mean, my friend

    There’s a holistic mental health center with arts and crafts, but it’s for women only. Maybe you could wear a disguise. If you want privacy though I recommend a remote cabin in the smokies, but it’s only in the 50’s today anyway.

    Schönes wochenende.
