just be aware that if you see a trump thread poster out and about in the daytime, approaching people fearlessly, it's probably rabies

also some self-appointed security guards shot two kids for the crime of driving while black and the posters celebrated their accuracy and noted stupid piece of poo poo Elise the Great, a "black bloc antifa street medic" wrote a bunch of posts explaining that they were correct to immediately hose some 15 year olds with bullets and then cover it up because maybe they were in a gang??? They might have been about to do a drive-by!!

those kids fired on the crowd, it certainly wasn't a driving while black thing

why would you frame it like that

well i just don't think the armed security at this particular event would shoot up a random car only because the people driving it were black

It was the middle of the night, people were loving on edge thinking they were the vanguard of a revolution. It’s perfectly conceivable they got spooked and started shooting

yeah but that wouldn't be a "driving while black" shooting would it?

I don’t necessarily think it was a driving while black situation but I also don’t think they opened fire on security. I think it was dumbasses playing revolutionary and getting spooked and killing two teenagers

Very lovely and sad situation

But it’s probably not the right thread

right

i too do not think that security at a BLM protest shot up a car because black kids were driving it

wait who shot up the car

do you remember who it was, plague rats?

Jan 26, 2019

so why would they shoot up a car because black kids are driving it

they definitely thought shots were coming from that car

HashtagGirlboss posted:

Has that information ever come out? Honestly the whole situation stinks of a coverup by those involved looking to justify their actions after the fact. Afaik it’s never been established the teens even had a gun in the vehicle. The whole thing is a lot of stories being told by unreliable narrators

yeah all i know is what i've gathered from the internet, which i guess is all most people here know anyway

i just think it's loving offensive to twist it into a black on black violence thing which the "the protestors shot innocent kids" narrative is

because why would they shoot up a random car

HashtagGirlboss posted:

It’s the middle of the night, you’re packing heat and playing revolutionary on a self selected defense mission. You’re on edge because of constant rumors about proud boys about to attack. You might be drinking, probably definitely smoking weed, there’s a vehicle where there shouldn’t be. You open fire

To me, that’s the most logical chain of events but it’s all conjecture because none of us know poo poo and all the accounts are unreliable and full of holes

yeah but that, again, is not the car getting shot up because of "driving while black" which is where this all started from

dustcat given the lack of things like evidence, have you considered alternative speculations like americans with guns do really dumb things, a false flag, etc.

i don't know what actually happened at the protest

what's happening online is that people are using these kids' deaths as evidence that black people / leftists / whatever are bad because they will heedlessly shoot up a randomly passing car, especially if a black kid is driving it

Have we considered just giving each of the mega threads it’s own subforum and then we could forum wars even harder, and then maybe those subs could splinter into even more subs until we get to a beautiful endpoint where we’re each an ik of our own thread that only we post in that’s nested seven subs deep from a desolate CSPAM?

there's a gbs trump thread if that would be more to your liking, i haven't really visited it in a while so i don't know what specific kind of nightmare realm vibe they're going for these days

the musk thread absolutely is a hate thread and lmaoing at musk imploding is the primary reason everyone reads it and posts in it

if you want to do more detailed political analysis of muskism or whatever, you'll either have to put up with the braying masses or start another thread

i hope trump announcing he's gonna be the next speaker of the house brings back squizzle to show you how sixers are done

Jan 26, 2019

one time i quoted a "quote this for a sixer with a cool pic" post and they didn't get around to it until the next day right when i was getting ready to post, and ever since then i've thought that that would be the way to give the most annoying sixers

i assume every mod independently comes up with this idea even if it's not in the handbook

in my experience it's always been challenging to know when to step in and when to let the thread handle things, and I don't get it right, especially at times in the u/r thread.

giving everyone involved in a slapfight a sixer seems to work pretty well

that way everyone can save face because their opponent got sixered for being a troll, and they for replying to an obvious troll
