        Yeah, let’s just keep taking the moral high road. Eventually shitty people will just stop existing. There’s no reason to actively work on removing them. 🥴

        Shit will keep flowing into a sewage treatment plant if you don’t treat the sewage. In the end you just end up with a mountain of shit to deal with and the problem is much more difficult to manage.

            I think it’s moreso that people misunderstand what you’re implying. That making them “martyrs” is a good thing to help identify more pieces of shit that rally behind their martyrdom.

    I’m not one for conspiracy theories but I do look at as many angles as I can think of. This seems like a perfect opportunity to settle out of court and thus funnel millions of tax dollars to a militia that will serve trump to the end.

      Labelling this conspiracy means you haven’t been paying attention. This is exactly what they’ve been using lawsuits and settlements for over the last 18 months. That and the crypto bullshit to funnel bribes.

            Pretty sure disarming everyone was the answer. But I don’t see gun enthusiasts stepping up to stop fascism, so looks like gun aren’t a part of it.

                  Jesus christ, how many times does this need to be spelled out?

                  There are people who agree that guns are bad and they are disarming themselves. There are people who disagree and are arming themselves. It just so happens they also support the current govt.

                  If you could go back 40 years ago and change so many things, sure taking guns away seems like a good call. It is not to anyone that actually understands reality.

            Good thing the NRA are there to imply the right to bear arms against foreign enemies and kings as is their argument every single time. Perhaps they will implement it now. Perfect opportunity.

            Anytime now…

            Good thing we didn’t take their guns…

            Any

            Time

            Now….

                  Exception, not the rule - and the people downvoting me prove it. No one likes to be told their worldview is wrong.

                  Edit: look into ideologically driven murders in the U.S., then look at ICE getting 20k more troops and natl guard deployed to LA. Look at the toys they have and tell me your hunting rifle is going to do anything when they have fucking tanks and riot armor.

      They settled with the family of that woman that disobeyed a direct lawfully given order from a cop, to the tune of millions of dollars.

      So, yes, they absolutely will pay them. In fact, this is a “legal” way for the government to fund them.
