I've heard the solution is more guns somehow.
In this particular context? Definitely.
Only took how many school shootings before a good guy with a good showed up? And someone still died, almost like guns are meant to kill people.
And sometimes killing people is the right thing to do.
Guns also took down monarchies
Now do oligarchies mascarading as democracies next
But not 50 cent. 9 shots and dude was fine. I'm not sure if that speaks more for how much that guy needed glasses, or how rushed and anxious they were doing it that they never thought that precision was part of the process.
9 attempts and shitty results, that shit screamed government work.
It's not hyperbole to say that this is exactly why the 2nd Amendment exists. It's been bastardized and misrepresented for a long time now but this is explicitly the kind of tyranny the founding fathers envisioned we would need protection from. In their time the people with the power to extract wealth at the cost of human suffering were mostly monarchs and other governmental bodies and in our time massive corporations have joined those ranks but that doesn't change what's happening at a fundamental level.
Imagine if this is what gets big corporations to lobby for gun control.
Nah they will pay for private security and lobby more mass surveillance and more police state. I mean if there the CEOs aren't denied, defended, or deposed first
Then a member of that private security has a loved one get a claim denied. Then where are we? Right here again.
Historically, that would not be at all surprising. That's basically what Reagan did in California because of the Black Panthers
It'll just be more gun control for the poor.
There are a lot of things the government is perfectly happy to let you own as long as you can pay the extra fees and permits.
Fuck that.
Somehow I find the mental image of a coin-operated anesthetics machine that you wake-up mid-surgery to put more coins in hilarious in a dark way.
Somehow reminded me of Futurama
In late stage capitalism we might have to take judgment in our hands to get justice.
We grew up with morals and ethics which tell us to obey the system and value life. But later you'll realise they themselves only value life which is rich and (in the best case) white. Morals and ethics are used to oppress and control us. Oppressors without morals and ethics should not be tolerated.
No cap
What/when is that image from?
When the Hill-dog was running for president in 2016 (I think). She was visiting common folk to see how they lived. She looked more shocked to me.
