Delusional Pablum

Hey Curtis, are you going to the protest?
Me? Nah. I better stay home and watch.
Really? Because it's so cold out there?
Uh uh. I can deal with cold. I just don't want to get shot.
Whoa! You think that could happen?
Haven't you been paying attention? I have no use for bullies or other assholes, and I don't care who knows it, even assholes with guns on the street.
That could be a problem. Maybe you should sit this one out.
That's kinda what I'm thinkin'. Bring me back a latte when you're done, ok?
If I survive, you mean?
Yeah, if.
