If there were no consequences, you wouldn't rob a bank?

Or a store?

Or a random person?

Everyone's line is different and even with laws like 10-20-life there's no shortage of people willing to cross it. So you're delusional if you think minus the prison sentence that there wouldn't be many more examples of this.

I don't really want a mob lynching me for some anti-social behavior there wouldn't be a law about.

jwb 07-29-2019 07:52 PM

And it wouldn't happen cause if mob outrage were that on point they would already be in effect, law or no law

Yet the only time people seem to do that is when they get whipped up into a tribal frenzy and Lynch someone innocent.

The people of Sudan must be the strongest most resilient people on the planet. Machine gun deaths do not weaken their resolve. They never give up.

good point actually

The times people have been lynched were largely during times the law wasn't really enforced

I guess my point is more that this doesn't actually work as a form of justice since the mob is just as likely to lynch the innocent as they are the guilty.

It seems like it would be an even harsher and more unjust form of justice than our current system, flawed as it is.

And I think most murderers would get off scott free
Especially if they organize into gangs or cartels that enforce their own sort of rules on the populace, which is what tends to happen in States where the institutions are weak and incapable or unwilling to uphold basic law and order.

good question

it wasn't even targeted. ****er killed two kids.

Frownland 07-30-2019 09:02 PM

I heard that he was a white supremacist, which is probably why he shot up one of the whitest places in California.

I haven't seen any information on the killer.


Santino doesn't sound like a white supremacist name though.

He looks white to me. Not that you need to be white to be considered a Nazi anymore.

OccultHawk 07-31-2019 08:29 AM

You don’t shoot up a food festival unless you’re bat**** and if you’re bat**** your ideology isn’t going to make any goddamn sense.

I did that's how I got Santino. They don't have anything about him being a white supremacist though. He just looks like an angry ol' Matt Watson.

Edit: An angry ol Italian Matt Watson which makes it weirder that he shot up a garlic festival.

Seems he actually showed interest in Islam.

maybe half a point each side

there was actually an Islamic terrorist that previously was a white supremacist or vice versa last year. They are
basically the same exact kind of *******s. And they bond over hating the Jews.

what i found was that he self identified as having italian and iranian heritage

and also that his social media is full of quotes and promotion of Might is Right which is like 100% the white supremacy textbook

What are you suggesting... Might is wrong???

Frownland 07-31-2019 07:20 PM

Maybe.

DwnWthVwls 08-01-2019 05:43 AM

I thought the textbook says white is right.

To be fair, it's just the text book white supremacists love.

But they said they found both Islamic and white supremacist reading material.

People were saying it was a white supremacist before they even released his name though.

Pentagon testing mass surveillance balloons across the US

Frownland 08-03-2019 02:45 PM

That's ****ed up

Quote:

the balloons are intended to “provide a persistent surveillance system to locate and deter narcotic trafficking and homeland security threats”
Oh why didn't you say so? Go right ahead fellas! Can't let the terrorists win.

Hopefully they'll have x-ray to catch the underwear bombers.

Surprised this is the first time. You can literally buy guns at Walmart and then have more slow moving targets than you can shake a boomstick at.

Did you catch the average weight of the victims?
