“Lisa, if I didn’t have this gun, the king of England could walk right in here and start pushing you around!”
At least there actually is a king of England now.
There hasn’t been a King of England since 1707.
“Active Shooter”
It’s like reading about a hurricane. Almost a weather phenomenon.
There are far fewer hurricanes. You also get a couple days warning on most weather events. I take your point though, between waking up to seeing a related push message and seeing this meme I had forgotten about it.
At least it appears nobody died, only 5 injured.
The key to getting on with life is to have complete and utter disregard for the well-being of your children, family, friends, fellow countrymen and yourself.
“A man who has nothing to lose, has nothing to fear.”
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”. - Benjamin Franklin.
What does he mean by liberty exactly? I feel like we’re well past that
:Looks at Trump MAGA slow motion facist take over of the government:
Are we really over that liberty thing?
Is liberty referring to freedom? Liberation from what? What is freedom? The jan 6 people were mostly getting social media washed into their behaviour. Admittedly someone has to be open to it before they can be primed but each step is necessary to achieve this kind of mania. My point is how much are we truely freely thinking when we’re constantly having our attention pulled to events that have carefully curated narratives already prepared for our consumption.
Well you have the freedom to buy into whichever flavor of propaganda you prefer. I don’t think there are too many alternatives flavors of propaganda offered to Chinese or Russian citizens…
Sort of. This is more like “A man who cares for nothing, has no reason to care.” These people have everything to lose they just don’t think it will happen to them personally
They want it to happen to the “other” groups to whom it’s “supposed to happen”
Well, to be fair, what they meant to say is “There is no way to prevent this while not changing gun law, state of mental healthcare, income inequality in economic classes, or criminal law and policing issues.” which is correct statement overall.
That title is what the Onion (a satirical/parody news site) uses every time there is a major mass shooting in America.
“We’ve tried nothin’ and we’re all out of ideas!”
At this point I’m not whether sure I should be angry, cry, or laugh while crying.
I hear a bunch of N thing needs to happen, but the question is will that N solution help. The question to ask is, has someone run a study on N solution, and if so what’s the next best solution. Gather data like where are the things of interest happening e.g. region of city. Make shore that N solution does not try to fix a symptom and disregard a source problem. Is N thing is symptom there can be many sources which have different solutions.
Obviously there’s a solution! Give underpaid and abused teachers guns and ask them to shoot a teenager with zero followup on mental health for the teacher!
/S
Genuinely makes me sick how many people have said this to me, that teachers just need to be armed
When I had two fellow teachers tell me (not at the same time, like a week apart) that they agreed and wanted their rights respected so they could carry at work, well, I figured it was about time for me to bow out of the profession.
You can take a look at regulations in other countries. They work. Everywhere. There’s no need to ask questions, everything was already answered all over the world.
I’ve never heard anyone say this… Is there a quote I missed? Was it a conservative asshole?
