freg waches you

I haven't been out in this area for years but I was shocked at the cost of two small cups of ice cream at Ben & Jerry's. Is this pretty standard for ice cream near the water nowadays? I doubt anyone thinks this reasonable, but is anyone else shocked like me?

Quite a view tonight! Jupiter is the top left dot. Then below and to the right, is our moon. To the right and bottom of The moon is Venus. The swirly things appear to be the trails left behind by a rocket launch. And of course the sky and the El Cortez is the backdrop for it all.

All the articles I’ve read has just called the shooters “teenage suspects” and not labeling them what they are, terrorists.

According to law this is considered: Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature

However, what does the media do, just glaze over it. They talk about how one of the shooters was supposed to graduate high school in a few weeks like we’re supposed to feel bad for these people committing a heinous act and probably worse if the security didn’t essentially sacrifice himself.

Then the president of the United States makes only one half ass comment saying “unfortunate situation” when three civilians were murdered in a place of worship, victims of a hate crime. It’s frustrating to see this because if this were to happen at a synagogue or church the suspects would be labeled as terrorists (as they should), but not for a mosque because the two dudes were white? Despite them decked out in Nazi memorabilia and found with a SS labeled gas tank? Horrible media coverage, narrative, and shows exactly what the majority of San Diego feels about their Muslim minorities.

On top of all the comments on every news outlet especially YouTube has some keyboard trolls saying disgusting things about the victims like, “they did it because they don’t want the Muslims to take over”, “serve them right”, “this was so staged.” “the liberals did it” (which makes zero sense btw.)

I think what I’ve learned from all this is that a lot of people really are sad hateful irredeemable people with very little tolerance for Muslims. I say this as a Christian and how people of our faith have a very skewed interpretation of Christian values, disregarding “loving thy” neighbor completely.
