It's All Great Until You Get Shot

There you are, living the dream, the dream of being a Marxist revolutionary fighting to break the chains of oppression and defeat the Man. It's just like 1917 but in Austin 2020, and you've got a semi-auto AK, which is kinda Russian or maybe Viet Cong, and a facemask and everything. 

What. A. LARP. Hey, I'm not a cosplay Furry, I'm a Saturday night Marxist Revolutionary. Problem is, you start to believe the Live Action Role Play game you're acting out and, when a car crosses your Red Guard Roadblock you spring into action, you're in role. No Paseran, my friend.

Austin Commie Shot Dead

So you put 5 rounds through the imperialist pig's car, Ho Chi Minh style. Boom, take that, colonialist oppressor. But you miss, because you're not really a Red Guard or a member of the Durutti Column, you're just some guy having an Anarcho-Commie LARP.

At which point, the driver of the car winds down his window and shoots you. Stone cold dead. Then it's not a LARP, it's deadly serious, irretrievably.

You Selfish Fool

This may not be a popular POV with the few people who click through this shallow mind blog on the way to better things, but I feel sorry for Garrett Foster. It was all fun and games for him before it totally wasn't; things should never have gotten as out of hand as they did. And there's the real crime.

That the authorities in Austin would allow people to set up de facto road blocks, like what?!? and wander about with guns in a bizarre role playing exercise is inexcusable, more than that, it's a revolting, vote grabbing scandal. Net result? Some idiot got himself shot and now he's dead. Game over.

What would you have done if Garrett had fired into your vehicle? I'd have shot him too. Austin Democrats, you have blood on your hands.

ENDEX.

See TGP for updates on this latest leftist idiocy. Garrett threatened the vehicle with his AK, the driver shot him dead and drove off as several LARPers  returned fire.
