I am glad the victims are OK. Is there any connection to the nearby homeless encampment on Cristanto?

Hi Concerned,

I wonder if you've noticed any parallel between your "just asking questions" about a group you're wary of, and the questions often asked by racists about the ethnicity of alleged criminals. If you haven't noticed, many of us most assuredly have.

You mean those RVs on Cristiano? Those ARE their homes...
First the shots fired at Villa/Escuela, now this. Are we going back to the bad old days?
