we need to treat them as they would treat us... no mercy..

Was going to go along with that but pull my check off were better than them!

I am not taking pity on a single one of them, this is beyond the point of mercy - just cold anger.

The changes in the Denver/Aurora area since 2020 are beyond the pale. I used to captain more than one pool team (billiards) which would put me and my team members in bars all over this local area, late into the evening. I used to drive from downtown at work in time to pick up our paperwork and then return the completed paperwork with dues money in an envelope to a central drop spot each night after our weekly league event(s) were completed. I also used to run pool tournaments. Once we went into the covid lockdowns all of that essentially stopped. Even when the lockdowns were lifted, I did not solicit our sponsor bars nor our team members to reengage, admittedly because I wanted to remember all my friends as they once were, not as political fodder. I could sense a change.

Now, current day, I am highly tuned into situational awareness to even go to a grocery store in broad daylight.
