TL;DR<\/a>: Shell casings found in various Atlanta locations indicate a concerning number of incidents on New Year\u2019s Eve involving celebratory gun fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know what\u2019s a great idea to celebrate things?\u00a0 Discharging lethal weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean seriously, I\u2019ve heard of plenty of incidents of there being celebratory gun fire in parts of the world before, but usually they\u2019ve been like, Islamic terrorists firing AK-47s into the skies, screaming Allahu Akbar<\/em> or some shit.\u00a0 Or like rednecks really celebrating<\/a> their second amendment rights, in the backwoods and\/or their white supremacy compounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But in the hood?\u00a0 Surrounded by, actual population?\u00a0 I can\u2019t imagine that that\u2019s necessarily the best idea in the world.\u00a0 Yet at the same time, I can\u2019t say that I\u2019m the least bit surprised that of all the places in the United States, Atlanta is a city that has people running outside on New Year\u2019s Eve, so happy to see the coming of the new year, that their only course of action is to brandish firearms and fire them into the skies, as if bullets will rise forever, and not actually return to earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like when I hear the phrase \u201ccelebratory gunfire,\u201d all I can think of are old Looney Toons<\/em> cartoons where Yosemite Sam is just blasting off his revolvers for no apparent reason, flying around as the discharge shoves him left, right, up and down.\u00a0 Except this is real life, and instead of a single cartoon gunslinger, it\u2019s many people with way more destructive guns than two six-shooters albeit with seemingly unlimited ammunition<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, I can do nothing but shake my head and scoff ironically at this story.\u00a0 It\u2019s news, but it\u2019s not the least bit surprising that there are people in Atlanta who look for any excuse to go outside and brandish their firearms.\u00a0 And it\u2019s always got to be guns; you don\u2019t see people run outside after midnight on January 1st<\/sup> and start swinging a katana around, and I don\u2019t really imagine anyone sees Ernest Miller<\/a> going outside and swinging his fists wildly during moments of celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
