That is:

A man who parked near the shooting scene had
piled some of the boys into his car and was about to leave when he told a reporter that the shooting was no surprise to him. "This is common in our neighborhood. ... I don't have an answer," said the man, who asked not to be identified.

(And BTW - for all those who imagine you may pigeonhole all uncomfortable behavior as.. wacky Californians.. then smugly forget about it -)

Dunno OhRyan - but your exact working conditions (as you have minutely described them) are precisely the kind of 24/7 dehumanized 'place to spend one's every day' which -- cannot fail to test *the Canaries First*, amongst us.

A scenario from mere imagination, then:
Big Strong Male\ufffd forced to eat shit. Doesn't like the taste. Picks on nearest EZ target *he can get away with Blaming* - so as not to, "go alone into that fantasy Next 'place'"
(which he imagines: will be an escape from This dream, too) Hah..

So if the above guy is right? - just How common IS this *now routine* ?? Canary stuff, in StL-middle-Murica ? 'Pears you haven't been noticing the local papers..

But then - you don't want to move. Right? OK then. No complaints. Right? Stay and simmer on low. Like the frog in the pot of tepid water.
