Now you just hatin’, edit after you just made some wild assumptions
Now you just hatin’, edit after you just made some wild assumptions
Words have definitions. Real life has different situations. Those situations have different motives and results, even if they share features. Edit you can’t just declare everything violent terroristic.
It’s silly to assume that the same actions would have the same impacts on two very different types of crime, despite both of those crimes having a gun.
For example: red flag laws where family or certain professionals can bring forward action to take guns away from someone or get them certain care. This is triggered by said folks detecting or acknowledging certain concerning behaviors in someone who might carry out a mass shooting.
This wouldn’t help with someone considering a robbery, as their pattern of behavior (edit and motivation) isn’t the same.
I am not advocating for red flag laws, or discounting them. That’s not the point.
I’m aware of the basics of gun safety, and aware that having a gun elevates the charges on a crime like a robbery. Pointing a gun at anything does indeed make clear your willingness to kill.
But you dodged the point of my reply, the motive or intent of the crime.
A robbery is not terrorism, or terroristic in motive. A robbery has a cause and a goal outside of killing. I’m not saying an armed robbery isn’t an inherently violent act, and I never said that shit about “trynna scare them”. Not sure where you gathered that.
You’ve devolved to name calling, inserting thoughts for others, and dodging the point of what you’re replying to. Seems you’re about spent
What are you on about? The motivations and end goals of an armed robbery and mass shooting are obviously and clearly different.
To help you:
A robbery tries to acquire things, and the gun is a threat they generally hope to not use (but might be pretty comfortable using).
A mass shooting is a terroristic event with the core goal of killing as many as possible.
A thief isn’t necessarily interested in killing. A mass shooter is.
Simple stuff.
He’s actually overweight in that photo for a movie role.
Gaining weight as you age is not “normal”. It is “common”.
“so many” just means the women he’s interacting with have them more often than they previously remember.
It’s their own anecdotal, subset. A sample.
They are discussing the observation they have on the women they are meeting. Not all women.
To assume they are describing all women, or further, passing some meaningful judgement on all women is an invention of the reader
If the bathroom and toilet are “dewy” the bad design falls on the house itself.
Of course they are, but to suggest the same variables drive a school shooting vs a midnight gas station robbery is silly
Almost all comments in this chain, and indeed the immediate one you replied to mention “school shooting”.
Beyond that, schools and dangerous guns existed before 1980.
Edit even the original meme is about a school shooting
In general yes but this discussion is a out mass shootings.
The masses have chosen, non potato ass in return for no pockets.
They make those. They are just dude pants.
Apparently those who wear tight fitting chick pants prefer not having lines from pockets or undies or whatever.
If you want a middle ground, look to athletic brands built for climbers.
Mr froyo I don’t feel so good
Just do it. Let them tell you.
What type of work do you do
