How’s Goldberg supposed to eat this?

Mercury instead of Lincoln
Sorry, since Boost doesn’t see fit to handle spoiler tags, I have to use them on faith that they’re working.
As for the deeper connection:
guess
It’s either they were all mob casinos or something to do with the Rat Pack. I’m going to guess it’s probably the latter, because the former isn’t very special. Ocean’s 11, maybe? Is that the list they were going to hit?
guess
Casinos, specifically Las Vegas casinos.
Gremlin, Fury, Zephyr, Firebird, Imp
verification Spoiler it, but you're correct. :::
clarification
Well they’re all trains, pretty sure they all run through Chicago.
Discussion Ah, okay. I've heard of "black opal" and "black chrome" so I took a shot. :::
Connection Black? :::
Market, Set, Visor, Cell, Highway
Connection Amtrak :::
It only looks like leap after leap to you because it doesn’t agree with your basic premise.
On the absolute surface level, you make what seems to be a good point. I don’t think that point holds up to scrutiny, though, and such lazy (no offense meant by this; I’m not calling you lazy, only the point you’ve made) reasoning is not far removed from using “think of the chldren!” to justify an agenda.
Any dwelling that is not yours is generally assumed to be off-limits absent an invitation to enter. Ignoring that and breaking into said dwelling is implicitly a statement that you are disregarding the safety and security of the inhabitants. That further implies that you equally have no regard for the health and well-being of the inhabitants, as your actions are putting your needs or desires ahead of theirs. You have, wittingly or not, made yourself a threat to the inhabitants of the dwelling.
Responding to an immediate, credible threat against one’s life with lethal force is quite rational.
I have no doubt that this will have detrimental long-term effects on the boy. I also have no doubt that the very experience of being present during a home invasion would have had similar long-term effects.
At this point? At this very point, specifically due to the historically valid usage of one gender neutral pronoun? Now is the time that it’s finally become an inconsistent language? Singular “they” is the thing that has pushed English over the edge from logical and sensical to arbitrary and confusing? Of all the foibles and quirks, this is the one that is simply unforgivable and must be changed?
