But that said, let these nazi repuglican fucks reap what they sow daily until they maybe lose some of their own family members or something like that, and finally decide to fucking do something about it.
But yea to be clear I obviously don't like guns or mass shootings. Just exhausted like the rest of those who have beating human hearts.

And just maybe if you find yourself accidentally shitting on murdered people take whatever time is needed to address how you got to the point.
I say this as a person that's actively posting less for no more important reason than "maybe what I'm thinking doesn't need to be typed out for everyone else."

innocent white children slaughtered, didn't even move the needle one bit, and even sent countless people into idiotic conspiracyland.
if some repub congressman's child gets killed, which i wouldn't wish on anyone ever.. even if that flipped them into being in favor of gun regulation, it will be seen as cynical from both ends, and they'd probably just get the liz cheney treatment.

He live streamed it.
I really want to believe this is some MK Ultra shit and society is not where we are simply because of gun laws.
Filming the horror?
wtf.

15. "this happened two blocks from my full time job." In response to Reply # 0
So I don't think it's anything good, cute, or acceptable to be glib about. Just a tragic situation with innocent people losing their lives.
I work from home, so I'm fine, but it's still devastating. My co-worker was asking if the people in office were fine over Zoom and I thought maybe it was a tornado or something. Had to Google to see that it was an active shooter. Nobody from our organization was hurt luckily.
We are actually supposed to go into work for the first time since May 2022 on Thursday to meet new people in our department, but I really really don't want to go. I don't even know if it's worth mentioning to my manager or if I'm just extra paranoid. More shaken up then I would have imagined to be honest.

I was in Nashville the other week when it happened. It was 4 minutes from the hotel.
We were at the convention center at the time but seeing a parent text their kids is real time is no joke.
Then the hotel manager was like “remember the bomber on christmas morning? They act like that was ages ago”
fuck people

And I wasn’t even there. And that was 2007.
Hell, I still vividly remember seeing the first Wonder Woman movie at an Alamo and the A/C or something kicked in with this loud pop below the seating and I spent about five minutes assuming there was some MRA active shooter shit going on before I finally let the total non reaction of everyone else settle me back into the movie.

32. "Not for a second did I belive he was actually happy about it" In response to Reply # 31
In the 6 minutes from his first post to the second there was *no doubt* in my mind he was posting out of frustration and not actually happy people were being murdered.
But hey, zero tolerance means zero tolerance (except for the stuff that moderators/owners agree with.)
But: It's not our board, they can police content anyway they want.
33. "yeah i thought his follow up made things pretty clear." In response to Reply # 32 Wed Apr-12-23 11:19 AM by Reeq
hes clearly at a point of total frustration with republican nihilism on the issue and came to a conclusion that isnt all that uncommon ('...reap what you sow').
tone/morality policing is extremely subjective.
we can go back and forth about whether what he said was right, productive, accurate, wise, empathetic, etc...
but thats the thing right there. we should be able to go back and forth.
34. "I'd have thought they would remove the comments too" In response to Reply # 33 Wed Apr-12-23 11:40 AM by handle
Like deleting the content of the problematic posts. Maybe that'll be done soon?
But imagine this: Anyone involved with any Okayartist gets into a "controversy" and then posts like BREW made are taken out of context and used against them somewhere. (Lord had mercy on ?uest with the Michelle Bachman thing.) Or just against this board in general. Or if someone here is involved in an "incident." Also don't want this to turn into a 4chan like board - except for some posts that I'm not "allowed" to comment on.
I get content removal in real time - it's logical.
The suspension is entirely up to the content moderation. Maybe there are more interactions than what we have seen in public? Doesn't have to be - it's their board.
As for the BREW - well let's hope he has another outlet or he's not just stewing getting madder and more nihilistic and that's not good for him. Because there's a 99.999% we'll have another GUN MASSACRE soon.

Maybe "2 chan."
There are a lot of takes on here that seem smack dab in the middle of Josh Hawley/Q-anon/Daily Caller spectrum. Doesn't take much to get crazy after that.
But with the current content moderation policy I don't see it going that way.

I'm going to assume....based on your usual posting/defensiveness...that you think anything that even remotely criticizes Biden/Dems is 2chan?
There are some bad/questionable takes on here, but the closest thing to Q-anon around here is...well....its you. Maybe a handful of others.
Cult-like worship is Q-annon...Blue-annon...etc. You're the closest thing to that.
I can't think of a single take on here that aligns with Hawley, etc. Maybe I missed something.

and while I agree at the same time its a bad look to post something like that.
just wish these moderators would act quickly with their own when they overstep.. lol.
rjcc went at Promo for asking if there were any updates about the cashapp stabbing
“dont act like you really want to know about a stranger”
wtf?
