        Sorry, we just had a baby and news of a shooter being loose and governor declaring a state of emergency freaked us out. Just trying to share how it feels in the moment. I will make up for it, thank you for the encouragement!

          That’s why it’s so important that old farts like me get out there and fight so people like you, who have a lot more to lose, won’t have to. This is a battle/war that us old ones can actually participate to save our young.

          Sorry, I’m just really frustrated to see it being repeated. But I understand if you’re concerned about the baby! My bad, but please please go if you can. 🙏

      This is what the murderer wanted. To scare us. Canceling the protest will encourage more of this violence. I went to a protest today anyway and it was the largest we’ve ever had in my town. Grow a pair and get out there. Democracy and freedom aren’t free and demand that we sacrifice to protect and maintain it.

      Truly sad.

      People shouldn’t bend over and take it. Arm the fuck up and defend against it. Don’t concede defeat before you even try to fight

        Sorry, but you didn’t mention your investments and shooting regimen. Give people a template so they can best be like you.

        Armchair, right?

          Nice ad hominem you got there. That’s all you’re capable of instead of actually arguing against what I said? Additionally, I don’t need to provide anything about my personal routine to justify my argument. I don’t owe you or anyone that. If you want those things, the Internet is available for you to peruse at your leisure to educate yourself. My point still stands.

          Or, don’t arm up, don’t learn to defend against what is coming and just give up. Go turn yourself over to the gestapo and save everyone the trouble of dealing with you and your pessimistic attitude.
