Oh, I was just making fun of the guy for saying he had a top secret army nobody can know about when he was trying to claim that it was a community banding together - a thing where the people wielding forces are held accountable, which requires transparency. It's at odds with its stated goal. There's a reason there are different words for a militia and the police, those differences matter.

Yeah, basically being the unaccountable (due to lack of transparency) group of insiders is not any better than unaccountable outsiders. Because then you form an ingroup of former community members through the ability to utilize force. You just kick the can down the road a little bit in forming a new police force, but this time a different rear end in a top hat is in charge.

The military is full of doofuses. I don't know if it's changed in the past few months, but I read an article stating 1/3rd of the American Military was opting out of being vaccinated.

Frankly, I'm amazed they can't just be overridden unless they have a genuine health reason. There are a few that are legit. But not 1/3rd of the military legit.

IIRC, the issue here is that the military cannot force servicemembers to take a vaccine that isn't approved by the FDA, and the emergency authorization doesn't count for that. They can force other vaccines like influenza/yellow fever/anthrax/etc because those are approved by the FDA.

Surprised there's an exception for that. IIRC they forced everyone who was going to Iraq in 2003 to get an experimental Anthrax vaccine. I suppose going to war might mean different rules.

Also possible is just everybody agreed to take the experimental vaccine because scare-mongering vis a vis Anthrax was incredibly effective, and also everyone was super-gung-ho about doing whatever it took to kill Tur-rists going into Iraq, whereas now they have a culture war to fight by pretending the virus is all a giant hoax which the pedo-lizardmen illuminati invented to bring down their White Savior and steal America, even though HE'S THE ONE THAT APPROVED THE VACCINE.

The anthrax vaccine was actually FDA approved in 1973.

The experimental description is more of a comment on the Nixon admin’s FDA but the all important legal box was ticked.

(Actually it was experimental for inhaled anthrax and approved for skin exposure but importantly it was approved for something)

As I posted on the first thread about this.

Just gonna say it:

He was yelling something someone couldn’t understand. Allah Snackbar perhaps? Something in Spanish?

Police say they have visited his home and his identity is unknown. Sounds like a legal resident?

I see only 1 Option:

Illegal Alien with a false identity who is not a native English speaker. Throw in potentially Muslim given the massive Muslim community in the Plainfield area and it being the HQ of Islamic Society of North America and this being right on their doorstep and him yelling something not understandable during the attack.

They are going to cover this up hardcore.

I live close. When the scuttlebutt as to what happened leaks out and who it is I will post.

The Indianapolis FedEx Mass Shooter Was Apparently A Brony, and Obsessed with Applejack
Welcome to Hell World!

quote:

This was a quote released by the Wallstreet Journal, who were given access directly from an internal Facebook memo from two accounts they deleted relating to the suspect:
"I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her. If there's no afterlife and she isn't real then my life never mattered anyway."

Facebook and The Wallstreet Journal couldn't find any actual motive behind the attack from either of the pages; just ponies. This is still all under heavy investigation, but for now, be prepared for some potential blowback once the news starts breaking out into the wider internet. The Wallstreet Journal did bring up the "far-right" side of the fandom that caused a stir last year, though they could not find any correlation between the two.



Terribly tragic. I'm a Brony. Bronies tend to be the kids who didn't fit in, the introverts, autistics and such. Good people but we all seem to have our problems.It's no surprise to me that a guy who was probably harassed mercilessly at work lost it. I have unfortunately been in that sort of situation and their are some people who are darn lucky I'm not a violent person.

I think it has to be something to do with it being so inherently weird for grown men to be in love with a show about magical talking ponies. Like they already feel rejected for whatever reason, and people are so dismissive of bronies, they naturally assume there's something good and valuable about it, because there must be good and valuable about themselves, and they think people are wrong for being dismissive and ignoring them, and therefore Bronies.
