You’ve just described the anarchist position towards the cops (in particular riot police). Riot police start riots. The armor and weapons are merely one aspect of provocation in their sick game. Effectively giving gun-toting citizens a pass for not just this, but straight up murder should be the “opening of the…

“The U.S. Constitution is a sacred document that enshrines the rights of every American and all those who aspire to be,” Griffin told Barron’s in a statement.

I see the racist incels have joined the conversation.

Uh, uh, and do you have your knife unsheated in your hands, ready to use? Because that’s what Rittenhouse was doing.

But you should. Why would someone carry a gun if not to use it? There’S a reason nobody carry axes or machetes or knives to the grocery store either. Like I said, from a Canadian perspective, the idea that someone just having an AR-15 downtown being normal is absolutely insane. 

Lol you know, I originally ended my first comment by calling you an idiot, and now I regret deleting it. Luckily, it’s not a mistake I have to live with.

and open season on protestors has been declared.

Consider pre-treatment kind of like a vaccine?

Right, just like we shouldn’t bother trying to prevent gun violence, as a better use of one’s time would be spent helping shooting victims.

“I don’t think it should be a struggle not to drink. We should help the victims of drunk drivers instead.”

Isn’t helping potential abusers before they start to abuse helping victims?

Not one single Republican has ever sufficiently understood the benefit of prevention education. There’s a reason sex ed in this country is garbage & teen pregnancies are so common, and the reason is Republicans.

I mean, if you had theories on how to protect children from abuse, why would you keep them to yourself? You’re pro-child abuse?

As a Canadian, this verdict is absolutely insane to me. You guys know it's not the Wild West anymore, right?

I think that’s pretty much what it is. It’s the “Fight Club” or “Wolf of Wall Street” problem in which both films are very clearly meant to be parodic, but because they’re both incredibly stylish films, a lot of people choose to ignore the subtext, and stick to the text. Hence you have people having actual Fight Clubs…

The gas prices have nothing to do with the president.

You’re not getting the image, you’re getting a receipt is not the argument you think it is.

“Attacking NFTs by saying ‘Oh I can just right-click and save that stupid JPEG’ is a bit like someone else taking a picture in front of my Porsche, posting it on Instagram, and saying, ‘Check out my sweet ride.’ But it’s not their ride - they can’t sell or (in the case of an NFT with utility) drive my car. I can. All…

“You’re only getting the JPEG itself and not the proof of ownership on the blockchain, which is the main appeal of NFTs.”

Oh holy hell yes. And you get one of those Twitter threads that is summarized in screenshots like “A re-evaluation of major life decisions in three acts.” with the last one always being the cryptobro saying some permutation of “...what have I been spending my money on????” and everyone pointing and laughing.
