Armed to deter cops
(lemmy.world)
It's a crime in Dallas to help homeless people?
Yeah, it's what Jesus would want, didn't you know?
Supply-side Jesus is the worst Jesus.
For the uninitiated: https://www.beliefnet.com/news/2003/09/the-gospel-of-supply-side-jesus.aspx
That last line is truly icing on the cake.
You know you're on the wrong side of history when you make it illegal to give to those most in need.
And have to be visibly armed to stop the cops from harassing you for doing so.
And people are banning books.
And claiming to be a devout Christian while making these laws is ludicrous.
The black panther method, 10 outta 10
Yep. This is it.
And that’s a factor in generating early gun control laws, black people exercising their rights.
As a 2A liberal, I LOVE this. Black Panthers did it right, don't change what works!
Fun fact: California's anti-gun culture was born out of racism and fear of the Black Panthers.
Ronald fucking Reagan started the anti-gun movement to disarm black people
And then continued it federally with bans on assault weapons and magazines over a certain capacity after someone tried to assassinate him.
I say we should bring back the Reagan approach on gun control.

You love it? You don't look at this and think "This can't possibly be how a reasonable society works"?
When it stops being illegal to help vulnerable people, I'll stop cheering for folks who open carry firearms to deter cops that might otherwise try to stop them.
Of course most of us don't love it. A lot of us live in places where, due to concepts like gerrymandering, we have no political choice, so people have to resort to stuff like this. We love that people are fighting back, not that it has to be this way.

It isn't how reasonable society works. It is how OUR society works. Can't play by the rules of another game you wish you were playing, you will lose every time.

If we lived in a reasonable society, there'd be no need to deter the police.

Damn, giving food and clothes is a crime.
It's food serving legislation being taken too far. The clothes I think are fine, but since they're not inspected by the health department like a restaurant the government can technically shut it down which is complete bullshit.
No, the Good Samaritan Act says free food doesn't have to be inspected as long as it's given "in good faith apparently wholesome food or apparently fit grocery products to a nonprofit organization for ultimate distribution to needy individuals"
All fifty states and the District of Columbia have additional food donation statues that limit food donor’s liability—these currently vary widely, such as by who (i.e., donors, nonprofit organizations), and what foods and food products are covered.
state laws may provide greater protection against liability, but not less

So if I buy the food let's say 100 burgers from a fast food joint. That would be ok right?
Anecdotally, I don't think so. I used to do some work with a place that did a lot of charity work and would get together bi-weekly to talk about travel and have a banquet. The banquet was always prepared and served in accordance with the law, and there were often tons of leftovers. So we would give the leftovers to the homeless. The health department fined us because we weren't allowed to serve food outside of our establishment.

Now I understand why americans need guns.
Too bad this is an extremely rare use case, but yes this is exactly the INTENT of the second amendment.

I mean, that was always the point.
To fight tyrannical bullshit.
It's just that purist assholes don't want any regulation whatsoever - so that anyone, anyone can get a gun. And welp.... the tragic bullshit happens.
I'm not pro-gun or anti-gun. I'm pro-common-sense.

I hate that this is true.
Are you ok over there? Do you need something? Like healthcare and a social state?
Every single protest should have an armed contingent in America. That is the only way cops will take you seriously, but make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's, because your permits better be current.

Does being armed actually deter cops in Texas? In my home country being armed is more likely to alert cops
It stopped the cops from entering a school while someone slaughtered 19 kids and 2 adults and that was just 1 person with a gun. So I'd say this would.
Have you heard about Uvalde?
And that's how you properly fuck, fuck, fuck the police.
More of this, please
They could skip the middle step and just arm the homeless
