It’s Always Them

I am going to start using IAT when writing about 2Gs for “it’s always them”, in the same way you can insert “EST” for “every single time”.

This time it is a mass shooting in Spotsylvania County, Virginia about 60 miles south of D.C. The county has grown rapidly over the last 15 years and is also growing more “diverse”

As is always the case, as you get mo’ diversity, you get mo’ trouble. Still Spotsylvania County isn’t exactly Detroit or Memphis so when the news was first coming out about 3 people killed and 3 wounded, and early pics I saw showed a lot of Whites standing around behind police tape, I thought we might have found a unicorn shooting committed by Whites.

Nope.

Here is Jeremiah Upson, age 18, who was one of four people arrested. The other juvenile yoofs are unnamed as they are a pair of sixteen year olds and one 17 year old.

Reports from the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Department suggest that this was an “illegal gun sale that went wrong” and I am guessing two groups of 2Gs decided that it was simpler to shoot each other than to work out a mutually agreeable deal.

It was a decent kill/wounded ratio but at close range with AR-15s it is more likely you kill someone than with a Taurus 9mm. Several cars and house windows in the area were shot up so it looks like they were making full use of those 30 round mags.

Even in a heavily White area, more than zero 2Gs means trouble and when trouble happens, it almost always them again.
