Politeness takes the back seat.

“The investigation showed the shooting appeared to be accidental so no charges were sought,”said Rock Hill police Lt. Michael Chavis.

The victim, a woman, told officers the shooting happened while she was in a car in the 1200 block of East Main Street, the report stated. The woman said she and another person had picked up a passenger, an acquaintance, who got in the back seat when the gun went off from the back, the report stated.

Musical NotesGuns and stupid, guns and stupid,
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you, brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Baltimore inspired “Hairspray” and “The Wire“; Trump gave us “The Apprentice.” Baltimore, in Trump’s telling, is a “rat and rodent infested mess”; Trump’s Mar-a-Lago was cited for 78 health-code violations over three years.
