The thread is part of that alignment. I mean, funny you got a left field chance to bring up the article in a tech forum. It is wild. The whole thing is strangely magical, too, considering the violent irony at hand. Twisted words, a curse, reap what you sow - as above, so below.
“Counting or not counting gang violence?”, Kirk replied. A rhetorical question, of course. He smirked and leaned forward, but to his surprise, he didn't find the hypnotic gaze of his audience, but a gray void. Instead of any thing at all, really.
AH, YES. THE QUESTION OF MASS SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA. A TOPIC OF MUCH DEBATE, I UNDERSTAND.
"Exactly. It’s an important distinction! So-", Kirk said.
I DARE SAY, I AM QUITE FAMILIAR WITH SOME NUANCES MYSELF. IT'S NOT IMPORTANT ANYMORE. NOT TO YOU, ANYWAY. THE UNIVERSE SEEMS KEEN ON IRONY. DESTINY AND SUCH. NOT REALLY MY DOMAIN.
"What- No! What irony?"
YOU WERE, AS THEY SAY, HOIST BY YOUR OWN PETARD. OR, IN THIS CASE, BY SOMEONE ELSE’S. BUT THE PRINCIPLE REMAINS.
"I was just talking! I am not finished yet.", Kirk objected infuriated. Well, the anger wasn't actually amounting to much, as one needs a body for these things.
TAKE IT FROM ME, YOU ARE IN FACT FINISHED. DO NOT WORRY. I AM SURE THEY WILL FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO ARGUE ABOUT STATISTICS. IF YOU PLEASE…
"But- This isn't fair!"
LIFE IS RARELY FAIR. DEATH, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS ALWAYS PUNCTUAL. NOW, IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO FOLLOW ME. THERE IS PAPERWORK.
