It can be dangerous to be black and a legal gun owner in America

[lithy]

Stop! Don't tell me life can be dangerous!

Ok, if I don't tell you, it will be safer. I promise.

The vilification of drunk driving is totally out of hand.

Indeed.

Where's Lagduf?

Still too early in California.

I think this is what a triggered Lithy looks like.

Triggered by you capitalizing my username, yes.

If you could spend one day as a black or brown guy you would see how tough it can be to deal with ( yes even while being cooperative and polite) law enforcement. I honestly expect every interaction with law enforcement to potentially be fatal.

This is not an imaginary fear but a fear supported by case after case.

If you're blind to this now, you'll always be.

When you only use the cases that support your fear, then sure, it is supported by case after case.

Lol. Obviously a "blue lives matter" guy.

What a good way to bring people to your cause.

Great thread...

It can be dangerous to go alone. Take this.

Best post on the 1st page.

Official Dog Tag of Power Spikes II US homecarts.

It can be dangerous to wear sunglasses at night.

Second best.

You lack the creativity for this spamathon to be effective and the bumbs provide more publicity to his racism-everywhere thread than it deserves... Maybe you can stop now ??

Don't I know it. Bumbs.

SOUNDTRACK TIME!!

Edit: Now with replies!

Please stop interrupting me.

It can be dangerous to keep promises.

It can be dangerous to buy a car from Thomas Smallwood of Ricart Nissan, Columbus, OH.

great now we just need to say 3 more times...

Thomas Smallwood of Ricart Nissan, Columbus, OH - shit 2 more times

 

[Heinz]

It is dangerous to quote that many people in a single post.

 

[terry.330]

I've met Thomas A Smallwood of Ricard Nissan. He's exactly what you would expect.

A big fat polo shirt wearing cunt.

Time for stage to ninja edit the thread title and make shitty racist Uncle lithy's triggering intensify

 

[lithy]

stage...edit

lol

 

[LoneSage]

Looks like the lil guy's all tuckered out.

Anyways, pretty obvious this is a lithy rant against coronavirus measures more than anything.

It can be dangerous to go outside your home without a face mask.

 

[CORY]

It can be dangerous to stay in quarantine for too long.

 

[lithy]

Sorry, I forget, is this thread about armed protesters or officer involved shootings?

So again, you either distrust the state and capitol police enough to think that they would murder a similar black protester or you don't.

Do you have an opinion that you want to take ownership of?

And in fairness to LoneSage, I won't edit another post in this thread.

Anyone who trusts police for their well-being is a fool, period.

Not the question. Would they murder someone?

(the Supreme Court has ruled at least twice that the police have no responsibility for your well-being, so on that point, we agree. However, having no responsibility for your safety doesn't mean the same thing as free license to murder you)

If you're interested in a discussion or even an argument, I'll be back. Otherwise, this is boring.

 

[LoneSage]

I have already provided proof of police murdering black people who legally own guns so go fuck yourself, lithy. I never cared to debate this anyway, you're the one who brought this up.

No responsibility for your safety? Well they certainly think they do when they dish out fines willy nilly for speeding or whatever.

I could see the appeal of Libertarianism in a post-egalitarian society. Sadly, we're still a ways off from that, especially here in the US.

 

[lithy]

When the data doesn't support your anecdote, the best thing to do is retreat. On that, we also agree.

You should know, or if you don't, you would if you engaged, that I'm no friend of current American policing, but we can't even establish a position for you. You want everyone to accept tweets as fact and just bobblehead agreement. That's ok though, those poor blacks that have to use hair products and skin lotion at least have good ol' LoneSage on their side.

But I'll be the bad guy for suggesting that black people should feel empowered to own and carry.

 

[LoneSage]

Black people should own and carry in America, like any other race.

Problem is, they get killed when they do. Because they're misidentified as the bad guy.

Teehee, traffic enforcement is not about safety.

Since I think many of the issues keeping us from equality derive from government, I will respectfully disagree with this. The only way to achieve a post-egalitarian society is to remove the government intervention that creates inequalities in the first place.

Blame the systems not the people that work within the systems first.

Well, this potentially interesting thread quickly devolved into retardation.

Every time? Wow, I had no idea.

What!? all these camera's, both permanent and planted in undercover cars and highway patrol cars with inbuilt bidirectional speed detection systems, you mean to tell me it's not about safety!? REEEEEEE!!

 

[LoneSage]

Every time? Wow, I had no idea.

Find me some articles where a police officer shot an innocent white guy with a gun and I'll back off.

I bear my cross.

https://www.thestate.com/news/state/south-carolina/article233259313.html

But this isn't data which is kinda my point. Media makes people feel as if they are being hunted, so they're afraid and defensive. Cops interact with people that are scared which makes people do erratic things, which leads to mistakes.

The problem is police interactions period. That black people are disproportionately affected by policing is a systems problem first, not necessarily an officer problem.
