So, this happened about 4:30AM this morning less than 100 yards from my front door. My roommate sent me a text at 4:30 asking me if I heard the commotion. I hadn't. For once I'm the one who slept through everything.

Per the police on site, a woman who works at a nearby bar cane home and someone followed her to rob her. My roommate heard the woman screaming and then pop, pop, pop!!

Per another neighbor, a friend of the girl's was with her. He tried to break up the mugging and was the one was was shot. I know his first name, but that's all.

I was just interviewed for Univision.

For the none of you that have read this thus far, here's an update:

My neighbor, Kelly Acosta, and his girlfriend came to his house after work Saturday morning. Both work in bars, but different ones as far as I know. It seems her ex-boyfriend (or current boyfriend, by some accounts) followed her to his house. A fight broke out in the parking lot and when Kelly went to intervene he was shot by the other boyfriend. He died later at the hospital.

Kelly worked at Emerald Isle, walking distance from our neighborhood: Emerald Isle

He was a friend of a friend, apparently. That friend's friend even crashing there the other night when too drunk to drive home from the bar.

By all accounts he was a good guy.

Was over in this area this afternoon (83 steps from my front door - I counted) and saw a older man sitting by himself just crying. I have to wonder if he's Kelly's father.

At the same time a woman with bruises all over her face dropped a flower with the other flowers on the rocks. I have to wonder if she was the woman Kelly was trying to protect the morning he was shot.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

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
