Punches would have already been thrown in my opinion. People who don’t actually want to fight do that. People that want to fight start swinging or at least not sit and bump chests.
What a fucked up situation and event. I don’t know the law to speculate but wouldn’t be surprised if they say he was going for gun so fuck him. I really wish I hadn’t watched the video.
What’s interesting is that Cactus was accused of posting in bad faith but never did so. He simply had a take that was disagreed with.
On top of that, he admitted he didn’t have the facts and wasn’t going to comment on the Rittenhouse case again. Of course that declaration was “dunked” on.
Interestingly enough, an anti-gun board reg also posted that they didn’t have the facts when it was pointed out that they were jmsu about the testimony. Their defense was they didn’t have time to read up on the case. Lol at that since the testimony summary that was cited was 6 paragraphs requiring less than 2 mins of reading. Not shit was said to that poster.
Making someone into a caricature that you can “dunk” on is Fox News style 101. I really don’t understand why it is such an accepted modus operandi in this forum.
I’m pretty sure I never accused Cactus of posting in bad faith. I just think he’s not that bright.
Nevertheless I’m interested in hearing his opinion on this. I don’t encounter such people in real life very much. So seeing one of them explain their thinking on this is a bit of a novelty for me.
I have opposed @Cactus on gun stuff and I will concede even more than this, I wouldn’t say he’s “not that bright” I just think he has an emotional investment in gun rights that undermines all of his thinking in it.
Super scary. I also felt anxious watching that video like there is going to be that one person who just opens the door anyways and gets everyone killed.
Man this shit is terrifying. But we can’t do anything to stop traumatizing kids because then psychos like cactus couldn’t have their manufactured manhood in their waistband at all times.
Just once I’d like to see some elected officials do something other than talk.
Like, don’t vote for any “defense” spending until real gun laws pass. Filibuster routine shit. FUCKING DO SOMETHING. Enough with the speeches. Fuck off, Democrats.
They’re just fucking asshole gutless do nothing pieces of shit who don’t care. At all. About anything. There are like 3-5 actually good Senators. It’s so fucking depressing.
Filibuster literally everything. Children are being slaughtered. Play this video. Plaster photos of the dead Sandy Hook kids behind you while you do it. I’m so disgusted by these cowards.
So disheartening. Even worse that school shootings garner such little public attention anymore. It is literally on the same level as a teacher seducing a student. More fascination than outrage at this point.
Scratch that. One teacher seducing one student would get more coverage than this shooting.
I hid under desks to avoid nuclear bombs. Unlike these kids I never had to put my training to the test.
They teach this shit at my workplace; I get annual active shooter training. Barricade yourself in, don’t open the door just because someone says they’re the cops. I guess kids these days get the same kind of training along with fire drills and shit. They seem to know what the hell they’re doing.
I’ve been in two false alarm situations, they’re stressful enough for a grown-ass man. idk what all those kids have just gone through. We have two entire generations of badly traumatized kids because freedom and safety or whatever. Nevermind the kids who get shot or who know kids who get shot or who go through a false alarm that doesn’t make the news, how many kids grow up just accepting that active shooters are a part of everyday life? I guess that’s freedom?
