I worry (´･_ï½¥`) that this report has the pronouns wrong for the unfortunate victim. Might be “lawsuit city” if the pronouns aren’t reported right.
When you play something that you were never meant to be, bad things will occur. The victim should be thankful the shooter was a poor shot.
I guess I stepped on someone’s feelings. Get used to it. If you are a male pretending to be a female bad things like this are going to happen. But based on where this occurred I have a sneaky suspicion that there is a lot more to the story.
Makes me think of Jussie Smollett….Were there any witnesses?
A shooting near Pine Ridge? Shocking.
That dude freaked out when he realized he was chatting up a freak. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No where but Pine Ridge could this happen 🤔
When “marginalized” worlds collide….
