no why would I watch gore? i don't wanna watch a guy get beaten to death because he supposedly he refused to exit his car, didn't lie down on the floor while he was restrained, and started running away. normal police just tackle the guy who is running away and then hand cuff him. there is no reason to beat someone to death if they are not fighting back. but they were either following a script of fighting a guy when the situation wasn't appropriate, or were just taking advantage of the situation to do a gang assault under legal cover of faults of the victim that could justify their assault. this is standard and routine and legal in America. police rely on the threat of them beating anybody to death and ruining their life in order to get compliance and solve whatever problems they are called to resolve. otherwise, if police didn't break the law, people would not fear them and we would not be able to enforce law and order. like they said on NPR, some people have to get abused in order for everyone else to be protected.

was talking about this in my botany class this past week. the berkshires and CRV are only very recently forested. all these mountains and hills were completely bare until the early 1900s. when colonizers first came they were under the impression that it was all fresh usable farmland. they found very quickly that is was about a foot of soil(if that) and then many, very large rocks and boulders (hence the large quantity of stonewalls in the woods). so after trying to convert the area into usable farmland for crops and realizing this someone recognized that the midwest was much suitable land for crops. we were then left with no trees until people realized that we need to replace the trees.

Lmao that was genuinely funny. I use the Mr.Miyagi method wax on wax off. I appreciate you not speaking in absolutes. I’m tired of being blamed and treated like a criminal even more having my rights restricted every time some jackass decides to shoot up a mall. I’m tired of those same laws creating gun free zones in which over 77% of these shootings happen. Which create more loss of innocent life. Instead of these law abiding citizens being unable to put shooters down because of the same laws that are supposed to be “saving their lives”. I’m tired of cops being 15mins to an hour away when seconds count. I’m tired of the 911 operators who don’t know how to do their jobs. Most of all I’m tired of politicians restricting our rights in a way that directly leads to more dead innocent civilians under the guise of “the state will keep you safe with these new gun laws”.

I wrote this in another reply so this isn’t quite directed at you. But I’m curious what do you think about the quote below?

“The gun laws you justify have enabled this tragedy to happen. Other more free states this is what happens when a shooter enters the mall. https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2022/07/18/elisjsha-dicken-identified-as-man-who-killed-greenwood-park-mall-suspsect/65375869007/

Different law different outcomes. Seems like you prefer the shootings in which innocents are robbed of their 2a and thus killed because of it.

Would you trade away your 1st amendment so people didn’t get hurt by words anymore? Because that’s what you’re doing with your 2nd amendment.”

I live kinda down the street from here. This one is probably the least amusing one I've seen, but I can't remember the other ones to give an example of a funny one.

On note here with them, they should rename themselves. For some reason, they have a massive problem with stocking sub rolls. Even people on yelp have said it. I stopped going there because I got tired of 'Would you like it in a wrap? We are out of bread"....

...... Yes, I come to Sub Galley for wraps. We all do. It makes me wonder if the 'There's no SUBS-titute' is a pun on this problem of theirs.
