Shop owner shot, killed over rainbow flag outside clothing store near Lake Arrowhead - Lemmy.world

The bio of the victim from her store’s website:

Lauri Carleton’s career in fashion began early in her teens, working in the family business at Fred Segal Feet in Los Angeles while attending Art Center School of Design. From there she ran “the” top fashion shoe floor in the US at Joseph Magnin Century City. Eventually she joined Kenneth Cole almost from its inception and remained there for over fifteen years as an executive, building highly successful businesses, working with factories and design teams in Italy and Spain, and traveling 200 plus days a year.

With a penchant for longevity, she has been married to the same man for 28 years and is the mother of a blended family of nine children, the youngest being identical twin girls. She and her husband have traveled the greater part of the US, Europe and South America. From these travels they have nourished a passion for architecture, design, fine art, food, fashion, and have consequently learned to drink in and appreciate the beauty, style and brilliance of life. Their home of thirty years in Studio City is a reflection of this passion, as well as their getaway- a restored 1920’s Fisherman’s Cabin in Lake Arrowhead. Coveting the simpler lifestyle with family, friends and animals at the lake is enhanced greatly by their 1946 all mahogany Chris-Craft; the ultimate in cultivating a well appreciated and honed lifestyle.

Mag.Pi for Lauri is all about tackling everyday life with grace and ease and continuing to dream…

What a waste. A tragedy for that whole family for literally nothing. No reason at all other than small minded assholes.

Yeah, it’s the second civil war starting. Expect to see more terrible garbage like this on your feeds as we reach 2024 and beyond.
I’m curious, do you actually think there is going to be another civil war?

Here’s a podcast where the first handful of episodes lays out what it’d look like if a civil war were to happen and why the author thinks there’s a reasonable chance that it could happen.

I do really like Robert Evans, but this is something I wholeheartedly disagree with. Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo could definitely happen, but I think it’s far more likely that we’ll see an American version of The Troubles. I don’t think there are enough people who would truly be willing to fight and die over this; but there’s plenty of people willing to commit terrorist bombings or acts of sabotage if they think they can get away with it.
I think the most likely scenario is a dissolution limitation, similar to what happened with the soviet union.

The Soviet Union didn’t collapse from political rhetoric and hurt feelings.

And the morons with enough guns and ammo to fight a war are far too economically comfortable to want actually want one.

If the shit really ever did hit the fan having a few chickens and a garden is going to get you a lot farther than a few thousand rounds.

The bar for starting a podcast is a 10 dollar headset.
You should probably look into the person behind before you throw out your own worthless opinion that had no bar at all towards publication.

Show me what I said that was opinion. Oh I am sorry, was that a strawman?

I stated a fact. “The bar for starting a podcast is a 10 dollar headset.”

Oh so that was a non sequitur unrelated to the podcast link posted, since you didn’t specifically criticise that specific podcast?

Robert Evans is a journalist btw

So he has a 11 dollar headset?

I haven’t listened to the podcast, so maybe I’m wrong… but isn’t the “it” in “it could happen here” referring to fascism, not a second civil war?

Pretty important distinction imo
