ok so first of all I don't wany anyone panicking or anything like that for what I'm about to say but...........
Last night I got shot at. Again.
Things are really getting crazy around here, with the officialists and opposition being outraged at the voting results, each calling the other a fraud, and both showing discontent on the streets. A clinic in Lago Azul was pelted with stones by angry protesters, one of them threw a home-made tear gas bomb to force the doctors out and stone them too till the cops arrived, my wife went to the bank today to collect her paycheck, and on the way out, there was a 6man fist fight, and tonight, the main Opposition Candidate, Capriles, urged the population to protest by........... Banging their pans and pots for 5 hours, across the entire country.
So yeah, starting at 7, across the entire country there was a huge noise of pots and pans being banged, officialists got upset at the noise, and they too went to the streets, confrotations arose, and on my neighborhood, shots were fired, one of them near my building, causing a stray shot to enter through my window, right the one where I sit with my PC. Bullet flied really close me, shatterd the window, and the vase I keep next to my PC.
I was unharmed (Well, relatively speaking, when it happened it naturally scared the crap out of me and I fell of my chair, and since I can't walk too good yet, I had to crawl through the glass-filled floor, so I got a several cuts on my arms and legs, but nothing serious) but it goes to show that things are NOT looking good here. I'm not sending my kid to school till this thing blows over.

I am never going to cram 1,000 words in a morning.
Honestly
.
Do you have to read/write something, Patty?
I
did
. I should've really put in "again" for posterity, but my brain is dead.
Edit: Rank, that's awful. And it's probably for the best if you wait for things to blow over, too. Is there a safer part of the city you can stay in? Usually with things like that there are always regions much worse than others.

Wow. You are one lucky SOB, Rankkor. I'll keep you guys in my prayers until things calm down a little bit. I can only imagine having a family to protect in that kind of environment.

The entitled mentality run rampant. Greece is there too. The US will be there too, if we get a few more liberal democrats in office.

A friend says they got shot at and you use it to try and score a point about American politics?
I hope you're safe Rank.

What the hell do you mean? I'm politicizing political unrest that my friend is caught in? Rank, who is very involved in the political climate there, after this recent divicive election? Is that what I'm politicizing? Something political? Are you sure you aren't just picking at me?
Did you have something you wanted to ban me for, or if there's been no rules violation, good day, sir.

Rank, I'd like to know if you have an email I can contact you with too. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you, and some ideas I'd like to propose to you. Is that okay? If you'd like, my email is twilights.calling@gmail.com.

Just in case anyone asks. I deleted the "media" topic that was locked a while ago. It was locked for the right reasons. The replies that were in it, could not just stay there with the topic locked. So now its gone, and we move on. If people really do want to have a discussion, post a topic with a solid paragraph of discussion.
Cheers,
Hat
