  • Didn’t read that way, and the whole “being a fucking asshole” shtick hasn’t been helping your case. If it was truly a misunderstanding it’s one you could have avoided by being more clear then “how are you liking reddit” or whatever useless question you asked me to “show support” or some such nonsense, and secondly when you identified a possible misunderstanding you could have avoided further conflict by not doubling down and being an asshole again but “for real” this time, simply because I replied in kind to what I clearly thought was you being an asshole in the first place.

    You’re not the mega genius you think you are, you caused this issue with your inarticulacy at best. There’s frankly no need for us to speak further, and I will decline to do so after this last comment. Good day.







  • I’m not talking about “the good guy with a gun,” I’m talking about “the person who gets anatomically significant hits on target first almost always wins the gun fight.” You can disbelieve this fairly self evident concept all you wish, but it is the case.

    But since you mentioned it, defensive gun uses are estimated (at the lowest) by Harvard at 100k/yr, and that is based solely off of verifiable police reports and completely discounting defensive display mind you. Meanwhile all yearly gun deaths including suicide and accidents are at 60k, intentional firearm homicide is at about 12k, and murders done with rifles are under 500/year.

    Now, if 100k is “extremely rare,” what then would 60k, 12k, or 500 be? If it’s that rare why do dumb stuff like try to ban a rifle responsible for 0.83333333333333% of the deaths? Statistically, more than 2 people defended themselves with a firearm yesterday, by a lot, which rarely makes national news either.






  • THE COPS SHOULD HAVE GONE IN AND DONE THEIR JOBS

    Can ya read it now?

    Alternatively, hire security, I guess. Because yes, clearly the cops aren’t doing their jobs in cases like this.

    Also MAY-FUCKIN’-BE that I’m suggesting we fix the systemic issues, namely that cops don’t have to protect us. Seems that’s controversial enough that you have to attack me with mischaracterizations of my argument, surprising to me.

    I’m guessing you find these cop’s actions entirely reasonable and justified, since you’re defending them so hard, right? Or is that a mischaracterization of your argument?
