A good guy with a gun. He identified the threat and took appropriate measures. He deserves a medal.

I see your point that it may not have been executed in a manner that you find humorous. I will cede you that.
edit and I just replied to my own comment. You’ve won this one. Tip of the hat.

Which is inadvertently correct. The law states that you conspire when you knowingly aid and abet criminality. if someone online tells you to spend all your money on the lottery and you actually do it, that’s your fault? Keep in mind that there are ways to help the enemy purposely and fail purposely in their fruitless endeavor.

The only thing that stops a gun is a gun with another gun.

Satire is always opinion based especially in the context of ridicule.

I don't know if I can define parody offhand, but I'm sure that's it.

>Not the onion is a place for articles that resemble satire but are in fact true.
Yes, I know.
> My satirical point was making it seem true with believable terminology, reverse engineering the joke of you will.
This is not satire, you're just stating an opinion.
> If I need to rephrase it, we’ve lost all hope on this sub Reddit. Explaining it seems like a waste of brain space.
Rude. You simply may not have done as good a job as you think.

This is honestly ridiculous, have they even considered all the lonely, isolated men that could use some purpose in their lives? Or the poor FBI agents that have been reduced to radicalizing basement dwellers. That's not even mentioning how hard it is to transfer money to people who bank through their mom's credit union

Because it’s the employee’s fault they are a wage slave and have to follow the company’s policies and procedures….

Reply to comment by velifer in Pueblo deputy awarded Purple Heart for injuries suffered during shooting of Richard Ward by Drablit
I'm quite glad you posted your comment. It led me to research those two rulings. I'm making a list of alarming supreme court rulings and these two rulings are valuable additions to my list.
Graham vs Connor 1989 states that claims of excessive force have to be "objectively reasonable." However, police can now use deadly force if they have an "objectively reasonable" belief that there is a threat to their safety. That belief does not need to be based on evidence. See "Police can use deadly force if they merely perceive a threat" on https://www.vox.com/identities/2016/8/13/17938226/police-shootings-killings-law-legal-standard-garner-graham-connor
Tenessee vs Garner 1985 lets police kill fleeing suspects when "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."
These rulings seem to let police kill people whenever they want and are part of a broad trend by the Supreme Court to gradually destroy democracy while protecting corrupt power.
Are there any other distressing important rulings that you think I should know about?

As a "leftist" it sure is weird that you're blaming this on the left.
It's a large corporation that disrespected a dead author because they wanted to increase their profits. How can you get any more capitalist than that?
