Well, if this isn’t the most Boston story I’ve read.

‘Gentle soul’: Ireland native fatally punched in downtown Boston was celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

The boss of a man who was knocked unconscious near a Downtown Crossing ATM on St. Patrick’s Day is reeling after the 46-year-old was taken off life support.

Boston police have confirmed that Barry Whelan died following the assault that happened on March 17th around 9 p.m.

Whelan was standing near a TD Bank ATM on Winter Street where law enforcement sources told Boston 25 News he was sucker punched.

Police were called to a report of a person unconscious on the ground.

Whelan was rushed to Tufts Medical Center with an abrasion on the back of his head.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has determined the cause of Whelan’s death was blunt force trauma, and they’ve ruled it a homicide.

I can tell you exactly what happened.

Whelan was sucker punched.

He lost consciousness and toppled over.

He hit the occipital region of his head on the ground, causing the abrasion on the back of his head.

The impact to the ground caused swelling of his brain.

Swelling lead to compression of the brain tissue, which occluded blood flow, abs brain death.

It’s not the punch that directly kills, it’s the impact of the brain on the hard ground that does it.

But the result is the same, one punch and death.

Sucker punches are no laughing matter and the people who say it’s wrong to defend yourself against an unarmed attackers are just stupid.

Watch the hands, be aware, don’t get punched in the head.

Enjoy a win!

NC legislature overrides Gov. Cooper’s veto, pistol purchase permits repealed

Supporters of the bill said the pistol purchase permit system is redundant since federal background checks are already required and many of the checks in place are what the state requires. The state law does go further than federal law does and allows a sheriff to deny a pistol permit if they determ…

The mother of the Nashville school shooter who killed six people — including three 9-year-olds — appeared to be a gun control activist who once urged friends on Facebook to sign a petition calling for keeping firearms out of schools.

“So important!” Norma Hale wrote in a March 8, 2018, Facebook post as she shared the petition to “Keep Guns Out of School” that appeared to be from the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.

Mother of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale shared several gun control posts on social media (nypost.com)

While we are still within the 48 hour (or not?) waiting period for facts, it seems that critter know by pronouns Is/No More still lived at home with mommy while buying guns and ammo which they swear they did not know Is/No More had.

And by the way, this had been making the rounds several days prior to the Covenant School shooting.

Prepare accordingly.

This is a murder in Vancouver, Canada.

GRAPHIC: A Canadian father was slaughtered in front of his family by a man police describe as “Indo-Candian”

All in broad daylight

No one rendered aid, man sips his coffee unbothered. People film him bleed out. This is the world we live inhttps://t.co/4eP2jbvFlI

That is a lot of blood.

That poor man was down and dead in under two minutes.

Knives are serious weapons and it doesn’t require a skilled person to kill with one.

A lucky hit to a major artery will be fatal.

There isn’t enough video from the beginning to assess exactly what happened here.

Suffice it to say, do not let a man with a knife and malicious intent in close proximity.

If a man is being aggressive, give him a wide berth.

And if you are living in a free state (and not the People’s Socialist Republic of Canada), be prepared to shoot a man with a knife.

Father stabbed to death outside Vancouver Starbucks after asking man to not vape near his toddler

A confrontation on the patio of a busy downtown Starbucks that ended with the stabbing death of a Burnaby man started when the victim asked the suspect to not vape near his toddler, said the victim’s mother.

“This is so horribly wrong what happened,” said Kathy Schmidt, two days after her son, Paul Stanley Schmidt was stabbed in broad daylight in front of his fiancée and his three-year-old daughter and many onlookers.

“He was just trying to protect his daughter,” she said. “I’m angry and I’m sad.”

A man has been charged with second-degree murder in the killing and Schmidt said she would like the charge upped to first-degree murder, which requires proof of premeditation, to ensure a longer stay in prison if he’s convicted.

A father was murdered for asking another man not to vape near his child.

Some of the first bodycam footage from yesterday’s Nashville school shooting has been released.

“Keep pushing, keep pushing.”

That’s the proper response.

Run towards the sound of the gunfire, close distance to the threat, keep shooting until it stops moving.

Every single officer from Broward County and Uvalde needs to be strapped down and forced to watch this Clockwork Orange style until they decide to eat their service weapon.

I find it extremely improbable that a woman associated with the victims of the Highland Park shooting in Chicago was visiting family in Nashville just in time for a chool shooting, and was at the right place and time to get on the news.

I suspect rest it is more likely that the blood dancers have a rapid response team that shows up to get on the news in front of these stories.

They saw how effective for their side David Hogg was, and now they want to grab hold of the news as fast as possible.

Maybe I’m just cynical, but this seems planted not organic.

I just got this with the morning batch of emails.

I was in elementary school when I found out my blood type. It was the first “Biology experiment” (Rhesus monkey story included) we had in school with the whole class getting typed and going home with a small card with the relevant information. It was so cool that it was imprinted in my brain and never forgot it.

If you still by any chance do not know such important piece of personal health information, you can get a kit in Amazon for just over $7 rather than the $20 with promo code plus other fees offered by Quest. And, of course, it is always good to know the blood types of your loved ones, for emergencies.
