and cops still wonder why people hate cops

Cruel and unusual.

Nobody wants to defend child molesters. But you have to take into consideration that it's possible to be wrongly convicted of such a thing.

Besides, why single out child molesters for chemical castration?

If you're going to implement something that ridiculous, why not all violent/sexual offenders?

I've noticed an odd trend lately where people just talk about how they hate pedophiles and child molesters.

No shit.

We get it.

Is someone disagreeing with you that they are disgusting monsters?

But why fantasize about killing them, torturing them, and all that shit?

It just seems like virtue signaling.

"Look at me! Listen to how much I hate pedophiles! That must mean I'm a good person! Because good people hate bad things! Right!?"

It's weird.

I mean, being a moderator must be a pretty thankless job, but it's a neccesary one. I've been modded a few times when I didn't think I needed to, but I certainly wasn't going to argue about it. Gotta have some lines and rules, and people to enforce them, so it is great that we have anyone who is willing to do the job.

And yet countless politicians continue to advance for the disarmament of the people so they can subjugate us willy nilly, not giving a damn what happens to us, while they are protected by expensive private security.

They don't want us to be able to protect ourselves.

The best tool to protect ourselves is literally right there, stated in the constitution. Yet they want to strip it from us for fear of us people getting in the way of their not so subtle desire to subjugate the populace under their "Kindly Veiled, but back handed methods of Tyrannical law making".

No thanks, I'd rather every single politician live under the fear of the metaphorical "Sword of Damocles" every waking second so that they can't do corrupt shit.

And that means it requires us, the armed citizenry, to constantly keep tabs on the politicians and cut the string on the "Sword of Damocles" and impale any politician that has gone rogue.

I'll give you this. The guy almost casually went for his gun. That was a bit of a headscratcher.

Where was he supposed to go? He was literally cornered.

You have a church full of, what appears to me, majority elderly people. Reflexes slow as you age. It's human nature to look first when you hear something loud and abrupt. Not everybody is an extensively-trained operator.

That's a straight up lie. Enrollment in self defense has increased sharply, firearms training has increased (although not nearly high enough) and many places conduct active shooter drills.

Most people are TOO pacifistic and not willing to learn to fight.

I think all people, once old enough to understand the seriousness of life/death/murder should get martial arts and combat training regardless of age/gender/sexual orientation/etc.

We all need to learn how to fight, and to learn to operate under combat situations.

Military school for children at a young age and training them to fight might save lives.

Same with learning how to patch up bullet wounds in emergency situations and know how to use a IFAK.

Military training for all young students and constant fighting / combat training in all forms of combat could be useful.

Be it CQC with martial arts / bladed weapons / improvised weapons or CQB with FireArms.

Id probably get shot like a total dingus and wish Id taken combat roll training more seriously

They were apparently in PETA. Whether whoevers in charge told them to do it or not, members of PETA did it... Meaning that PETA stole, and sometimes euthanized, peoples pets...

Again, reasonable precautions. He'd spent his entire career studying the animals. I have no reason to expect that he'd put his son in that situation if he didn't feel thoroughly assured that he'd be fine.

lmfao

Sure. Maybe. But they're also the group that went and stole some people's pets. And killed a couple, as well... So, they're probably not the best organization to trust when actually thinking about animals...

Steve Irwin also taught people about animals. And taught about the dangers of the animals. And, I think he helped out an different centers where they had animals. Plus, IIRC, the terrorist organization of PETA hated him. So, he was probably a good guy because of that. Comparing a guy teaching teaching the world about animals to a couple of kids joyriding doesn't really make sense. I'm not going to say I think the kids should've died or anything. But it's easy to see the difference between the two...

Something like that would have not only made the news, but probably would have stopped the show. So, it likely didn't happen. And it's possible. But being a possibility means nothing if it doesn't happen. And that's if he didn't take proper precautions. It didn't happen, so he probably took proper precautions and care to make sure that it wouldn't...

Irwin playing with crocodiles never got anyone else killed. Idiots going for joyrides in cars that shouldn't even exist get innocent people killed every day. Equivocating the two is absurd.

For normal people it's easier to empathize with someone like Steve Irwin than this idiot

Hes a dipshit for going to a freaking department store with a rifle and body armor just to scare people needlessly. Literally a terrorist.

Cool. Keep it up. Its obviously having an affect on me.

I know that. it was a response to this.

No, its not. Maybe go get some law enforcement training before you start saying stupid shit.

Thats not true at all, but okay.

Saying that all Americans should be combat trained to help react to mass shooters is a bit like saying that all children should be keeping condoms in their backpack to help deal with child molesters - it is technically something that will decrease the damage done, but is still dodging the fundamental problem at hand.
