The drug addled and mentally ill not famed for their decision making and rationality though which rather complicates that approach.
And the American people are shit at doing what they're told.
This might sound harsh, but it's all so unutterably boring. Things like this happen, the wider world is outraged for a period of time, we all then go back to watching Netflix and the cycle repeats.
As fucked up as it is, it is what it is and nothing is ever going to change it, there are simply far too many Americans who're absolutely fine with guns and everything that goes with that, for it to.
You're not wrong. I can't remember who said it first, but when Sandy Hook wasn't enough to prompt change, nothing ever will be.
Yes, at this point you have to assume this is the way Americans want their country, although I suppose their argument would be that their system is not one conducive to changing anything in that regard (especially when there are large corporate interests at stake). Lol at their rapacious society and political system I guess.
Sigh.
Seems like the guy in charge of the coppers who triple double tapped that guy in the back is a really nice guy.
He sounds like a visionary 2020 melts aren't ready for.
Ya'll see the story about this 17yo kid who came from like a hundred miles away with a gun to "help the cops / back the blue" whatever and got ran up on with a skateboard so he killed two people ? lol
the end of the video where he's seemingly casually walking toward police picks up here:
Ya know, no biggie. Just shot a guy lemme throw up some hand signs at you.
He's listened to police and obeyed them. He has been charged with murder. Fuck outta here with the outrage.
Cause I just am kinda sad we got 17 year olds walking around with AR-15's and the police are thanking them for being there instead of telling them to go the fuck home before getting themselves in such a situation two people died and now he's ruined his entire life.
'When we said legitimise politicised street violence with cover from the authorities we only meant...'
This country is the gift that keeps on giving.
Has anyone been following the lolfest in Portland? How can absolutely everyone be so fucking deranged.
I left a failing state and all I got was this lousy failing state.
If it wasn't for the lol salary they give me to do fuck all, I'd be back in a heartbeat.
I seen a video yesterday of some supposed CJNG dude cutting out a piece of the heart of one of their rivals and eating it right in front of him as his lungs and guts basically kept pumping and expanding out of the very "surgical" incision in the man's chest and stomach so shiiiit idk fam.

Ironically though exactly what we need in this country are CJNG types to police the police but that's another discussion.
Man, that takes me back to some ISIS internet.
Yea the internet from like 2001-2004 came rushing back quickly to say the least.
11-14 surely?
There barely was internet in 2001.
Nah this was Iraqi War / Al Qaeda shit, it was def about 2002 cause I remember my cousin's boyfriend (now husband) was the one to show me when they came to Florida on vacation and that was the year before I went into high school.
Oh, there was plenty. It was all weird and new and dark. Everything from, "Here is my geocities page. I like bikes and anime." to "Welcome to rotten.com. Here's Tupac's corpse."
Dude exactly. I always wonder if my generation is all weird because we were all given the internet like it was the Encyclopedia Britannica in the early 2000s when we were hitting puberty and perhaps our parents just kinda let us at it so long as we "don't give strangers personal information!"
Remember the fuckin one with the hammer guy? Sergei wasn't it? Hell nah.
Earliest I remember is around 1994/5 so it was easily a thing in 2001.
I also remember my set of World Book encyclopedia. They got me through university.
The internet landrush was so good. Every day a new ISP disc was through your door. And we got our memes from YTMND.
Yeah, of course it was a thing, I was flaming chatrooms in the mid-90s like a hero, the dotcom boom was around 2000 wasn't it?
It's just that in the date range, broadband barely existed in 2001, and the Iraq war was 2003 wasn't it? I guess quite a lot changed in those years in terms of it going from something some people looked at every once in a while to something that was used daily (and now in 6 minute units).
Was Iraq not around 1990?
Alright Stormin' Norman.
I believe for the purposes of disambiguation that was The Gulf War.
Broadband might not have been knocking around then but I think the internet was still pretty popular in that era.
I got my first PC in 98 and was hammering Limewire a few years later on dial-up.
I know you all think of the USA as a 3rd world country but I promise we were able to download those faces of death videos like an hour at a time in the early 2000s lol
I would have always said Limewire was a later p2p platform but wiki suggests it dates from 2000, which puts it almost on a par with Napster.
Was kaZaa before limewire or was it after?
What I was saying was that I looked at those range of dates and thought about 2001 more than 2004, and quite lot happened in between those dates in terms of ubiquity of access to the internet, speed of the internet, stuff on the internet, and conflict in the middle east. By 2004 facebook was a thing, just, although not many would have known about it (me included).
2001 was all Pamela Anderson sex tape and other tragic grainy dial-up shit (actually that was more a '99 thing maybe).
In short, nothing to see here, move along.
MySpace. When was that? I think I was working then.
