I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Inglewood north island New Zealand ?
Inglewood Victoria?
This is what pisses me off! People reacting without all the facts! You haven't a clue to what was going on other then a third hand report from a a person you know nothing about! Nobody has a clue based on the facts at present as to what actually transpired!
Just because someone is visiting relatives there, does not indicate they were up to no good.
The police acknowledged they were sitting and unresponsive in a car.
The police said the woman moved and had a gun in her hand. I would bet that it was a phone.
If I were a Mom taking a grown up weekend and my companion and I had too much to drink to drive safely; I would park to sleep it off and call the people I was staying with to let them know what's up. Possibly passing out before the call got made.
I actually see people trolling here, not really making any informed or thoughtful input.
I'm holding up how many fingers?
I'm taking back my +1 to your comment.
Guess how many fingers I am holding up.
