Sometimes, it's hard to resist the feeling that we're descending into the kind of madness that's bottomless.
So it's important to remember that people do eventually get sick of the shit, and sick of the idiots who're always fomenting the shit. The assholes who either won't stop pimping the fight, and the ones who love being pimped into the fight - we'll get sick of it and we'll put a stop to it. Eventually.
2 men shot up a California strip club with an AK-47 after refusing to wear masks, authorities say
Now they face life in prison
When a group of friends rebuffed multiple demands to wear masks inside the Sahara Theater in Anaheim, they were kicked out of the strip club in the early-morning hours of Halloween for not following the state’s coronavirus restrictions.
The men returned to the gentleman’s club in their Honda sedan shortly thereafter, but they were not looking to reenter and keep the party going. Instead of masks, they brought with them an AK-47 to shoot at the outside of the establishment, according to authorities, firing 15 rounds from the car and hospitalizing three people with gunshot wounds.
Nearly two months later, the Anaheim residents were arrested in what police described to The Washington Post as the most extreme anti-mask incident in the city to date.
On Monday, Edgar Nava-Ayala, 34, and Daniel Juvenal Ocampo, 22, were charged with three felony counts of attempted murder with premeditation and deliberation, three felony counts of assault with an assault weapon, and one felony count of shooting into an occupied building. A third man, Juan Jose Acosta-Soto, 20, was charged with three felony counts of assault with an assault weapon and one felony count of shooting into an occupied building.
All three men have pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
If convicted on all charges, Nava-Ayala and Ocampo face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Acosta-Soto faces a maximum prison sentence of more than 17 years.

A New York GOP club held a maskless party as covid-19 cases surged, video shows
A Queens candidate led the conga line
One by one, 16 maskless attendees of an indoor Republican club holiday party in Queens earlier this month formed a conga line, following a Trump 2020 flag and the advice of a Bee Gees song: “You Should Be Dancing.”
Inside an Italian restaurant that sued the state of New York to restart indoor dining, Vickie Paladino, a GOP candidate for New York City Council in Queens’ District 19, was at the front of the impromptu disco conga line on Dec. 9, joining the crowd in shaking their hips like it was 1976, a video of the event posted on Twitter showed.
After a video of the event went viral on Monday, Paladino and Queens Republicans have faced criticism on social media for holding a holiday party in which almost all attendees were shown maskless and not adhering to social distancing as the borough faces a surge in coronavirus cases.

There's a poetic justice to it when the video of your "big event" shows a pathetically small crowd, but there's something really cringe-worthy about the way the revelers are so desperate to pretend they're being embraced by throngs of simpatico fellow travelers when it has to be obvious even to them that they look ridiculous in a "spontaneous mass celebration" of about 2 dozen people.
And while I don't wish them any real harm, I find myself thinking, "Y'know - it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if every one of those jerks had their lungs fall out through their assholes."
