Run Down Violence 5K

I did something positive this evening. I participated in a fun run with my wife and daughter to raise money for good cause.

Over 1500 people participated, many making significant donations to the Cunniff family. There are a bunch of different stories of what happened; I was told that Mr. Cunniff, while at a bar concert with his daughters, said something to some skinheads when they flicked a cigarette at a black guy, and they turned their tiny-pecker-based rage on him and gave him a stomp down. In front of his daughters. Yeah.

I fuckin' hate skinheads. The dumb fucks should all be trussed up, stuffed in canvas bags, and drowned like kittens.

Anyway, Mr. Cunniff is actually doing better. He was at the event this evening in a wheelchair, and everyone was happy to see him. People turned out from all over for this thing. Local boy Owen Wilson was there. Lots of local restaurants and businesses donated food and prizes. Most importanly, a good deal of money was raised to help the Cunniff family (his medical insurance had been recently cancelled, and he's been staying in the hospital since it happened). I was really happy to have taken a small part in standing up against violence.
