Enviromoonbat Killed by SUV While Hiking Barefoot Across America to Save Planet He told Vice that going barefoot made his feet hurt and it was more comfortable to walk on the white line grazing the edge of the road because it is the smoothest. He told the website that people gave him strange looks for walking barefoot in such a dangerous location. …He also said he would not move for cars but would heed to trucks because: ‘They’ll really mess you up.’ Mark Baumer showing off his sore feet. Looks like moonbats could be right about SUVs; they really are a menace — at least, they are to fools who goof off along the edges of highways: A man who was hiking across America barefoot on the side of highways to ‘save the earth’ was struck by a Buick SUV and died Saturday. Mark Baumer, 33, began his shoeless trek in October. His journey aimed to raise awareness and funds for the FANG Collective, a Rhode Island organization that supports nonviolent resistance to the natural gas industry. Natural gas is abundant and clean. Moonbats oppose it anyway. They would prefer for us to shiver in the dark rather than make use of cost-efficient energy resources. Bird-chopping windmills are okay though. Florida Highway Patrol confirmed Baumer was hit on the side of Highway 90 in Walton County. He was pronounced dead on the scene during the 101st day of his trip. Small wonder he got hit: He told Vice that going barefoot made his feet hurt and it was more comfortable to walk on the white line grazing the edge of the road because it is the smoothest. He told the website that people gave him strange looks for walking barefoot in such a dangerous location. … He also said he would not move for cars but would heed to trucks because: ‘They’ll really mess you up.’ Turns out SUVs will really mess you up too. It appears Baumer was wrong about many things in his short life, but at least he got the name of his website right: He wrote blog posts and poems on the website for his journey titled ‘ notgoingtomakeit.com.’ He said the purpose of this nutty P.R. stunt was to “raise awareness and fight climate change.” He did raise awareness about how kooky moonbats are, but the climate is likely to continue fluctuating just like it always has. The vegan, climate advocate was a web content specialist at a library in Providence, Rhode Island. He graduated from Brown University with a MFA in 2011. The guy obtained a master’s degree from an Ivy League university and look how he wound up. Human potential is the first casualty of moonbattery. Actually, he did die.

Texas Man Killed in Mall Shooting Was Trying to Protect People, Says Family elaine PeopleJanuary 23, 2017 Texas Man Killed in Mall Shooting Was Trying to Protect People, Says Family More On a rare day off for Jon Murphy, he and his wife Aimee visited a jewelry store inside a San Antonio mall to have their wedding rings cleaned, family friend Chris Cercone tells PEOPLE. “Jon and Aimee loved each other. They were so happy,” says Cercone, a San Francisco-based lawyer who is dating Murphy’s stepdaughter. “Jon was an upstanding guy that would do anything to protect his family.” On Sunday, protecting his family cost Murphy his life. Two men walked into Kay Jewelers to allegedly rob the store, officials say. As the robbers left, “they encountered two citizens that tried to intervene,” says Police Chief William McManus. When police officers arrived, Murphy, 42, had been shot to death and was lying alongside one of the suspects, who was shot by an unidentified citizen licensed to carry a concealed weapon. The unidentified suspect was taken to the hospital and listed in critical condition. Another suspect was caught hours later after he allegedly wrecked a stolen vehicle. Jason Prieto, 34, was arrested and charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of aggravated robbery. His bond was set at $1.7 million. On Monday, Murphy’s wife Aimee went on her Facebook page and shared some feelings. “Jon was tragically taken away from me/us yesterday in a senseless robbery attempt,” she wrote. “I know deep down he was trying to protect first off…Me, but also the other innocent bystanders in the mall as well as the several children and families that were in the play area 10 feet away from where the robbery occurred. That was just the kind of man he was.” Growing up in a military family, Cercone says Murphy loved the Marine Corps. “He just had a ton of respect for the Marines,” Cercone said. Murphy’s daughter gave him an antique Marine pin for Christmas, says Cercone. He added that Murphy also loved his Harley Davidson motorcycle and his family. The family has set up a gofundme page to help with bills and funeral costs. The response has been overwhelming. Cercone received a message from a woman whose husband and daughter witnessed the tragic shooting. “My daughter and her dad were at the mall yesterday right by the jewelry store. They started running when they heard the first gunshots. My daughter saw Jon fall,” the woman wrote. “I truly feel like he kept my daughter safe. He risked his life to protect someone he had never met.” https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/texas-man-killed-mall-shooting-022955603.html
