"trying to grab to take a gun from a security guard"

Okay so obviously almost nowhere else is as insane as the US when it comes to firearms and therefore most people would have much better discipline when handling them and discharging or even pulling one, but the one thing I am sure of almsoy anywhere in the world is that you should NEVER try to grab someone else's gun from them unless you're prepared to get shot with it.

Dudes lucky he didn't do that in Texas or Florida.

I genuinely think he's got that "someone told me I'm not allowed to do something so now it's my only thought and I will do it no matter what" mentality that 6 year Olds have.

Someone told him he's not allowed to use nuclear weapons, so he wants nothing more than to have an excuse.

I'd happily climb any of the 1000ft "peaks" around me over telling everyone how much money I spent to be here while slowly moving in line up to the top of what is now basically a trash dump.

This man will not have a car within 6 months, he will have a flaming pile of scrap, or a canvas upon which scratches paint a vile picture.

And also will be receiving an invoice for my time.

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don't think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.

Wow, I sure am glad I know where to avoid dirty mods for skyrim now.

I can bookmark it so I know not to go there!

I'll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.

It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.

Base building was a nightmare, and that's the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.

Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares

spoilerThe concept of "well now you're out of the universe so let's go to a new one right at the start of the game again but this time a few things might be slightly different" was fun until all my hard work figuring things out with the bases got erased by "and by the way literally everything except your experience and abilities has been reset and you can either choose continuing the ability tree and maybe solve some mysteries of who built everything or you can care about the current universe but you can't do both"

Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.

I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of "hey you aren't allowed to talk about that" or "you violated a mysterious rule sometime"

Lemmy can succeed while breaking arbitrary ~~server~~ CoMmUnItY rules, and if you don't think this discussion has merit then you only want Lemmy to succeed in your narrow view of what "success" is, I guess.

Newsome has the authority to have state police and the CBI to arrest guard members who don't follow the order to stand down.

He won't, and I don't know if I believe the state police would side with a Democrat, but the possibility is there.

Of course, there are MANY things that politicians have had the authority to do to stop things since January, yet they haven't.

All radicals who are willing to spill blood are on Trump’s side.

I'm not so sure on this one.

I'd like to think I'm willing to use the tools at my fingertips to sling hot lead in defense of minorities and prevent a total takeover, however, I recognize that doing so myself is a death sentence.

Taking a stand just makes you a target in a very wide open field. You need more people to take a stand with you to be effective. How many people feel the same as I do? Willing to stand as a group, but not solo?

Organization is important. Organize or be sent to a ~~concentration camp~~ "prison". Organize or be arrested for protesting the regime. Organize or die.

Organized resistance is much harder to take down. With enough people, you wouldn't even need to fight. But you should absolutely be prepared to.
