Short time lurker, first time poster. LOVE LCPDFR, out of all the Steam games I have, all 4 of them, I play this the most.
Anyway, on to the reason I decided to post. I don't know how many of you heard about this. I live near Edmonton, AB, in the Great White North. Right beside us is St Albert, AB. There were two RCMP officers shot in the line of duty, one didn't survive, one is on a long road to recovery
The reason I wanted to post this is because I want to show people there's still some hope. I was at the Edmonton Oilers vs Minnesota Wild NHL game last night. Constable Wynn, the officer who passed away, had three sons. They were honoured with the first puck drop last night. That in itself is pretty classy of the Oilers. What got me, however, is the generous standing ovation, not once, but three times, for those kids. When they got on the ice, when the puck was dropped, and when they left, everyone was standing. It was so loud in that building, you would think we were at the Stanley Cup game and the home team just won. They also had a moment of silence for Wynn. Was very touching. Anyway, I'll go back to silence and creepy lurking now. Have fun!
