  • I mean… I kind of get it. The personal item happened to be a fucking gun. One with moving parts that will fire bullets if the wrong part moves. Your phone will not fire bullets. Seems kind of prudent to stop the machine with spinning magnets and wildly fluctuating magnetic fields from operating near a rifle that may cause it to fire.

    I guaran-fucking-tee you that if they hadn’t shut it off, and the machine caused the firing pin to trip resulting in a bullet being fired and hitting someone, people would be saying “what stupid cops let the gun just sit there when they could have hit the emergency stop switch!”

    However, the main issue is the rifle never should have fucking been there in the first place!



  • Paradox of Tolerance. A truly 100% tolerant society can not exist as it will quickly fall prey to intolerant groups that they are forced to tolerate. People don’t seem to understand that concept and think if we just be nice the bad guys will go away. It doesn’t work like that. Any school kid can tell you that ignoring or trying to befriend a bully rarely works. The only thing that works is fighting back.













  • I’m in favor of the filibuster, but the original version. You want to delay legislation? Fine, stand your happy ass up and start talking for hours without stopping. The old fucks wouldn’t be able to do it, and those that can would have to spend days doing nothing else, and getting no other work done. After hour 4 or 5, a senator bought by corporate interests is going to be exhausted and start wondering if what they’re being paid is worth the personal effort. By 24 hours, only those who feel true, personal conviction about their beliefs could continue.






  • fictional scenario that has never happened

    Remember that guy a few years back that killed a someone on a bus and ate their face? Seen by literally dozens of passengers who watched in horror as well as the bus cam. He was arrested while still on the bus.

    It can happen and does. This is but one of many examples. There are times when it can be absolutely, 100%, without any shadow of a doubt, proved that some committed a heinous crime. To think oftherwise is sheer ignorance. You come off as a child.
