I don't really know Brian Beutler. I've met him a couple of times and have "known" him online for a long time. Online relationships like that are a bit weird in that to some degree "knowing" people involves reading their stuff and having a vague awareness of their lives due to social media and occasional interactions over the same while not really having any sense of how much the other person "knows" you. But, anyway, I remember when Brian was shot and
he wrote a good piece about it.
