I accidentally made it through TSA with a live round in my coat pocket on my outbound flight, then on my return flight they caught it but I wasn't detained and they just confiscated it and let me go on my way. Took 5 extra minutes tops. I'm guessing they just didn't want to fill out the paperwork on what was obviously not a threat.

SROs are unarmed in California? They're armed here in Mass.

I'm in California and our SROs are armed. It actually kinda sucks. It freaks kids out who already have a bad relationship with law enforcement and in my ten years of service nothing bad enough to warrant drawing a gun has ever occurred. I'm not that attached to my opinion here on whether or not SROs should be armed to be honest. But I'm definitely not for armed guards at all ten entrances into our school as my father expressed after some other shooting that happened. Pops please, no one will even pay teachers what they're worth how are you going to pay guards to sit there and do literally nothing. Plus it makes for a bad campus climate. We do creepy lockdown drills twice a year that's enough.

Anyway the SROs in CA have guns. People have no loving clue what goes on here dumb yokels.

Security guards are an unneeded expense. We just have to arm and train all our teachers so they can shoot any one of their students at a moment's notice.

I have no clue, I can only assume I must have taken it out with my keys and wallet and dropped it in the bin and the guy checking things just gave no shits because the alternative is that the metal detector didn't work.

I once went through tsa with a pocket knife in my carry on bag that I completely forgot about until I got home. The only thing I got stopped for was a box of magic cards that I guess couldn't be seen through; they searched through the bag to check for other stuff but somehow didn't find the pocket knife.

Strangely enough this was the first suggestion. The armed guards came up after I painted a picture of an armed teacher trying to make her way through an overcrowded classroom. Teachers don't just lecture in the front of class. So you've got a holstered loaded weapon in lovely McShitfuck's face and you think if that kids having a bad day nothing terrible is going to happen? Or maybe teachers should just go back to lecturing. Shoot the phones right out of a kid's hand if distracted.

I used to think my story of bringing a pocket knife through TSA was special until stories like this: http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/11/04/surprise-tsa-is-still-sucking-terribly-n2075370

quote:

An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.

The series of tests were conducted by Homeland Security Red Teams who pose as passengers, setting out to beat the system.

According to officials briefed on the results of a recent Homeland Security Inspector General’s report, TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly able to get potential weapons through checkpoints.

In one test an undercover agent was stopped after setting off an alarm at a magnetometer, but TSA screeners failed to detect a fake explosive device that was taped to his back during a follow-on pat down.

I took a flight from colorado to florida with a bag of thc gummybears in my pocket which went totally fine, but I got held for an hour when traveling from Oslo, Norway to Honolulu, via LAX to meet my girlfriend. The dude asked how i paid for the trip and I told him my girlfriend had paid for it. The security guy refused to believe she could afford 11 days in hawaii including airfare from europe on one salary. Lol

I genuinely wonder why middle Eastern terrorists haven't cottoned on to skin whitening procedures, or why they don't try to recruit white people.

I hope reviews count. I won't post the actual thing because it would be too easy to find the office, but on one of my specialist doctor's (i.e. not a GP) online reviews it said:

quote:

Beware this office if you look like you're rich! They tried to sell a bunch of unnecessary procedures to me! Then the secretary at the front (who was obviously family and in on it) told me they didn't want me as a patron!!! I hope the doctor that's pregnant has complications in labor and her baby gets hurT!!!"


I changed the words up a bit but that's pretty much exactly what they said. a) a doctor would only not want you as a patient if you suck, b) this review says way more about YOU than the doctor's office, c) what kind of sick person says something like that?

This is like a perfect storm of pro-gun stuff. Black man with illegally obtained gun is stopped by good guy with conceal carry license. Nobody died, either, so the guy is a hero. It probably didn't make the news because it's par for the course in a surprisingly large part of America, like you said.
I got some of this from some friend of a friend on Facebook and responded that I'd seen the headline on Yahoo News that morning. Of course I didn't mention that my immediate response was, "Oh great, now the annoying CCW people are going to be even MORE unbearable."

Related: a friend of mine on Facebook was complaining about people "mansplaining" to her and someone had this response, almost exactly word-for-word: http://www.manfeels-park.com/comic/recursion/

Btw this is a person who I unfriended a few years ago because they have no problem with racial slurs. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to think of that during the conversation, instead of three weeks later.

Ok, looking it up Reid was mixed race(mom was white, dad was mixed also), but I'd definitely say he looks way more like a tannish white dude than a light skinned black dude.

When will these pricks realise that 'having to hold a door open' is not on the same level as 'dangerous to walk alone at night because might get raped'? That widespread male violence and psychological manipulation against women is not the same as getting slapped for grabbing her rear end at the bar?

Never because being yelled at by their mom for not holding the door is the most harrowing moment of their lives and they'll never forget it.

Apparently it's from some Indian "lifestyle" site? Here's another one from the comments:


That said, imgur is the lowest of low-hanging fruits... which is why I kinda enjoyed having a separate thread for it. There's literally dozens of posts every day that are jaw-droppingly stupid, racist or otherwise horrible.

Like how they're still on about this thing:


You know, the chat bot that 4chan got to repeat racist jokes and holocaust denial. FIRST AI TO REACH SENTIENCE.

e: you know stuff like this:


and they also reposted this image, which is basically everything-wrong-with-the-internet.jpg
