Columbine kicked off an epidemic of school shootings because of the attention it got. Some people need a focus for their misery and I am not ashamed to say that I would rather see heartless corporate executives fear for their safety instead of school children gunned down as they hide in a closet. Just putting that out there.
I am glad to know I'm not alone in this line of thinking!
Hello lonely young men with something to prove, have you seen how much positive attention Luigi got
well im lonely but i dont want to goto jail.
So what you're saying is if the collective can set Luigi free then you might be okay with the deal?
no ill miss my computer too much but it is tempting.
You can't miss your computer if you die guns blazing or drive off a cliff
depends what situation id get myself into. I'm fond of being alive currently.
In Heaven all those ads promising a "Free Alienware" if you just fill out a survey are actually true.
Just avoid eating inside restaurants for awhile.
This convo is heavy sarcasm, no person should do something stupid based on shit read online.
But school shootings are bad thing to do though
we are not talking about school shootings.
Hey kids.
Don’t shoot a school.
Shoot a CEO instead.
I've got very few long term prospects, very little empathy for the undeserving wealthy, and a whole lot of spare time.
Ladies, look out 😎
Well yeah, don't you remember game theory talking about how big his cock is?
Luigi got attention for being arrested, the police are the ones alleging that he was the one who shot the CEO.
It really would be a strange kind of uniquely American poetry if our school shooting problem inverted itself into a megacorp CEO shooting solution.
If a few more CEOs gets off’d, they’ll ram gun control legislation through congress faster than Trump can wolf down a Big Mac.
Historically it's been threats to the owner / controller class that have produced serious gun control legislation in the US, so you are probably right! But if you mean actual confiscation a la Australia, pretty sure that's off the table here. Sincerely think it'd spark a war no matter who sincerely attempts it or why.
The cat is out of the bag, no? 3d printing guns is a bit of a Pandoras box in regards to gun control. Especially in America where it has been legal for so long
Federally legal. I didn't realize it but like 14 states outlaw them and others have prohibitions on parts of them. Honestly, I'm impressed it didn't break. The idea of making one makes me nervous over safety. I haven't even been brave enough to print a stock or foreguard simply out of concern. I also don't trust aluminum casings (if a shell splits it's likely damaging the barrel or receiver).
A papercut that draws blue blood is a bigger issue to these freaks than a river of poor corpses.
Or they just make it easier for CEOs to get and carry guns.
Given that the guy used a (partially) 3D-printed gun, I just can't fucking wait to see how the overbroad knee-jerk restrictions are going to impact the hobbyist maker space.
shit, i would say school shootings are endemic now.
Only in America. Where there's guns, there's accidental death.
I say ban the guns so the vigilantes need to use cricket bats. Sell the surveillance tapes for PPV.
Hey, those tapes are community property. Stop trying to commercialize justice.
Take it else where to do this circle jerk.
Stay on topic please. Brian was a prasite. Nothing to do with us fire arm laws.
School shootings are very intentional, not accidental.
Banning guns isn't going to make 500 million firearms disappear, it'll just take them out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.
"Nothing can be done to prevent this."
-The only country where this regularly happens
Very original.
The classics are classics for a reason.
It's not wrong.
Of course something can be done to prevent it, but just blanket banning things is a horrible policy, and always has been. Or do you think the war on drugs was a smashing success? Drugs went away, and so did all the problems associated with them. Right? Right guys? Right?
At this point I wish to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.
Given how this, the War on Christmas, the war on Poverty and the War on Terrorism went..
If we start a war on the rich, that should make everyone in the world richer than God.
Fact. This pattern is so obviously and observably true, let's execute it. Or rather, them.
How do I upvote AND downvote a comment at the same time?
Workplace shootings are nothing new. Where do you think the term Going Postal comes from?
Damn I thought it was the hit game POSTAL 2
Watch the Postal movie for a real wtf humor/horror experience. I enjoyed it, but it's a sensitivity PR nightmare.
I really hope Jo Miran is an alias.
Maybe of the Buckee's beaver?
In this regard, all the media attention might be a good thing. I haven't seen this much coverage since that runaway bride horse shit 15 years ago.
