No, they are grassroots activists. They aren’t paid. They aren’t encouraged to hit certain topics. They aren’t coached. They aren’t given scripts. They aren’t the conspiracy theory wet dream you probably think they are. They are normal kids that had to experience a traumatic situation and never want anyone else to…

Wouldn’t it be more likely the police would think that someone had taken him hostage?

As another comment pointed out, police can’t afford to relax response protocol, but I’d like to think they knew going in that this was a hoax call and as such weren’t going in on edge and ready to shoot to kill.

If you’re so scared a kid is going to topple your second amendment rights, you’re a gigantic fucking coward.

I use liquid bandages on my wounds when I know that lemon juice and sea salt won’t give me quite the rush I’m looking for

Yea, depends how much he lost. My right arm ends just below the elbow, so I designed this

I’m sure the NRA and GOP will give her the customary 9 hour waiting period before they start calling her a triggered librul snowflake who hates America, and/or a plant that is part of a false flag operation run by the deep state and funded by George Soros.

what’s dumb is Syfy’s distribution contract. No shit they aren’t getting great first run numbers at 9 PM on a Wednesday night. No one, except some Sunday shows, does because that isn’t how we consume Tv anymore.

lets take a moment and let the new normal of these two statements sink in:
