I lost my right to buy guns recently, because reporting a troubled teen facility for physical abuse is “stalking.” Funny how a civil trial, where you have no right to a lawyer, means you lose your rights.
Very frankly, there's no situation in which you'd lose your right to own firearms just by reporting credible allegations about a healthcare facility to law enforcement or regulatory authorities. We can only assume there's quite a bit more to this story
Since I've read that: https://elan.school/ I can believe that the whole system is rigged and people in power can easily use it to take away rights. Don't know about this specific case but there will always be systemic abuse with which the wealthy and the ones in power can suppress their victims unfortunately.
“Quite a bit more” yeah they could afford lawyers and I couldn’t.
But yeah , thanks for taking the side of the people who diddled me as a kid, hadn’t had enough of that lately
Literally the VPO is “they sent an email to a school district we contract with about the child beating” lol but again I live in Oklahoma where beating and raping children is de facto illegal. But thanks, it’s not like I’ve experienced enough gaslighting and abuse
Have you red https://elan.school/ ? Just reading that crushed me and I don't think I would be able to survive that. Sorry for whatever happened to you. You're a strong person for just surviving that and even more so for still trying to be a good person.
I didn't say anything about rights... "Rights" are there as an illusion to keep people under a master.
...and look around... We know how masters treat humanity... Most of them didn't get where they are from being submissive and completely lawful. And they have gotten to positions to manipulate common people who have hearts. To the point they can make those common people be evil for them.
Just understand it's a real hard game.
