Service

You don't have to wear a uniform and carry a gun to serve your country.

In case you were wondering what that occasionally looks like, here's the front page of The Capital Gazette (Annapolis, MD) the morning after some asshole with a gun and a grudge murdered 5 people because he felt aggrieved, and blamed the newspaper for his troubles.

Fuck yeah they published the next day. The bad shit people do to each other never takes a day off - so the news can't take a day either. Way to go, guys.

I bitch a lot about Press Poodles. I'm not sorry for most of that - sometimes I show my love by poking you with a stick - but that's got nothing to do with what happened yesterday in Annapolis.

Every day we get a new batch of horrors. It's not unreasonable to attribute some of them directly to Cult45, while others have a more tenuous connection.

Sometimes though, out of these horrors, we get a new hero.

Selene San Felice (Capital Gazette survivor) is that hero. Because the truth must be spoken.
