[@tsukune] I was thinking about joining, which is the only reason why I was following the OOC. I just wanted everyone's input to get an understanding of this forum community's views. Thanks for sharing yours.

[@The Harbinger of Ferocity] Is correct, news media in the US is quite unreliable. I actually don't follow it because it is all fear mongering or attempts at gaining favor with a particular race/sexuality by reporting "social injustice." They are also correct in that people can often continue to function even when they should be dead. Adrenaline is a powerful drug, and there are accounts of people being shot center mass as much as fifteen times and still being able to function. They never survive of course, but still, sometimes you gotta empty the clip into them to be sure.
