HappyDays Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 3 hours ago, Gugny said: Keep telling yourself that guns aren’t the problem. And keep twisting statistics to back it up. Gun violence is a real problem. So are car accidents. So is heroin overdose. These are the risks of living in a free country, which we accepted a couple hundred years ago. Rights can always be taken away to in theory reduce the chance of tragic untimely death, but personally I'm happy to live in a free country and accept these risks. The risk of any individual being killed in a shooting like this is exceedingly rare. I see people say things like "I'm now scared to go to any public gathering." You're free to have these feelings, but they aren't rational. You're much much much more likely to be killed while commuting to the public gathering than at the public gathering. You're more likely to die while showering to get ready to go out. Don't let these tragic events consume you. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't do day 6 because that's just too much McDonald's. Like…we really need to talk about this. You’re getting too old.

julian Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 43 minutes ago, HappyDays said: In my experience the only white on black murders that get covered ad nauseum are when police officers (AKA government officers) murder citizens. Which should be covered extensively. The government murdering its own citizens should be a headline every time it happens and it should appall everybody. Addressed how? There are already gun laws that in theory should make it difficult for violent criminals and juveniles to obtain the weapons used in these crimes. Are you asking for more gun laws? No absolutely not, I meant addressed from within the community and by the elected officials who represent the citizens who elected them. Anyone arrested carrying an illegal firearm needs significant jail time and this soft on crime approach isn’t working. Making guns more difficult for law abiding citizens to obtain does zero to Solve anything IMHO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I dont understand how people like the taste of fast food. Am I missing something or way too aristocratic. While we are on the subtle race jabs....... Like Chapel says “Shooting up schools is a white kid’s game,” “I’ve given this a lot of thought,” he continues. “I don’t see any peaceful way to disarm America’s whites.” After the applause dies down, Chappelle says, “There’s only one thing that’s going to save this country from itself. Same thing that always saves this country from itself. And that is African-Americans. And I know the question a lot of y’all have in your minds is, should we do it? ***** yeah, we should do it.” “No matter what they say or how they make you feel, remember, this is your country, too,” Chappelle tells his audience. “It is incumbent upon us to save our country. And you know what we have to do.” Then comes the twist: “Every able-bodied African-American must register for a legal firearm. That’s the only way they’ll change the law.” https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How frequently are these crimes being committed by people previously arrested for illegal firearms? That feels like a limited solution. And in general I'm not an advocate of simply extending jail times for criminal offenders because I've seen no evidence that it solves the fundamental problems which create these issues, nor do I inherently trust the government to decide how long people should lose their rights and be incarcerated. Truth be told these are very very complicated issues and I'm wary of any proposed "simple" solutions. Solving these issues is a herculean effort that will likely take multiple generations worth of work, if these issues are even solvable to begin with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not the government, then who? Of course the government has to do that, but we should always start these conversations with the understanding that incarceration represents a forfeiture of rights. So if someone's proposed solution to any issue is to extend the time that we are forfeiting a person's rights, I want to see evidence that there is a good reason to do that. Not just throw it out there because it sounds like a possible solution. I'm also sensitive to the fact that innocent people will inevitably be incarcerated, which should be seen as an appalling (but unfortunately inevitable) violation of rights, so any changes we're making to the incarceration system should be made with the knowledge that we are also changing the treatment of legitimately innocent people. I recognize that most people don't think about the justice system and rights in this way, but realistically it's how we should approach these discussions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don’t give a damn if criminals are locked up for ever or have their hands cut off because I’m not a criminal and I respect people and their property. now I understand my view is drastic and some may deem it barbaric, but I know what stops a criminal 100% from hurting citizens further.. being locked up so the rest of us can simply live our lives peacefully. That’s all I got, I’m a caveman though lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
