Yeah, let’s keep a list of who’s not armed so they can cross reference that with their sign list before they go on the offensive. Great idea.

At that point you’re looking at a potential mass stabbing incident

At which point the NYPD will hide because that’s scary

Big IF

And yet they didn’t release the footage. Either there’s no knife or the behavior of the police was outrageously incompetent. If they were justified they’d be tripping over themselves to show it.

Are the NYPD still carrying guns with a 12 pound trigger pull? Why can’t they aim for shit?

The police didn’t shoot him in the head. They were just doing their jobs as we asked them to and somehow that happened, total coincidence.

cops said was armed with a knife

You know they lie to cover their own asses, right?

Take the guns from the police and give them to the embryos. I think you’re on to something here.

“We will be working through the timeline of today, but make no mistake, the events that occurred on the Sutter Avenue station platform are the results of an armed perpetrator who was confronted by our officers doing the job we asked them to do," Donlon said.

Could we maybe not ask police officers to escalate minor and petty conflicts all the way up to shooting everyone in the immediate vicinity?

“Law enforcement cannot do this alone,” Monaco said during a gathering in Washington of federal law enforcement officials, members of the 3D-printing industry and academia. “We need to engage software developers, technology experts and leaders in the 3-D-printing industry to identify solutions in this fight.”

Good luck with that, it’s basically impossible. The best they could hope to do is have commercial printing services watch for and refuse to print the devices. Anyone can look up the patent for a Glock switch and design and print one themselves. It can’t be blocked on the printer level because that would require the printer to be a lot smarter than they currently are, and any such blocking could be bypassed by building a printer from scratch (not easy, but totally doable).

World powers … don’t want Truth Social

Yeah, no problem finding as much as you want. It’s a lot more expensive than it was pre-covid, but so are most things.

It sounds like a lot but it’s really not. It isn’t unusual to buy that much to take advantage of a sale or to save on shipping. One could realistically shoot through all of it on a longer range day.

Sonicare might be expensive but it leaves my teeth feeling cleaner. It’s like having that perfectly smooth clean feeling after a dentist visit every day. No way I’ll ever go back to manual scrubbing like some sort of troglodyte.

Most are just going to laugh at you and be as unhelpful as possible if you come at them like that. You’re just giving them an excuse to stick to the script and tell you to pound sand. If you let them know it’s not personal but you’re angry at the company and keep your approach professional they’re much more likely to think outside the box, bend the rules, or escalate your issue to get things taken care of.

I’m actually talking about guns, and yes, they should be easier to get. The government and the wealthy should concern themselves with improving material conditions to avoid unrest instead of trying to monopolize the capacity for violence.

My shop makes big ones and little ones, but the big ones are always sold out by the time I drag my ass over there

In California you can only buy torches and pitchforks that are approved by the state. Guess how many inexpensive ones are approved (lol, none). If you want to carry your torch or pitchfork outside of your house it either needs to be locked in a box or you need to buy a permit, which runs about $1200. There’s also a fee for a background check anytime you want to buy torch fuel, and they’re raising it by 500%.

Text him in the morning:

Hey, so, this is awkward but I just saw this text and didn’t realize your mom was going to be letting herself in. You might want to call her because I think she’s pretty upset about getting shot a few times.
