I don't think they meant that he invented it or anything. Just that it's currently popular with the Bro Jogan set.

Hello u/Positive-Material
Your previous post (before this one) was heavily reported as "misinformation" and those reports would be accurate since nothing in your comment about what happened is true.
However, your follow-up easily explains why that is. You have not seen the video, and I do not blame you for not watching it. Nor am I going to suggest you watch it.
That said, I will say, I removed your post because to no fault of your own, you seem to have been misleading, and as inaccurate information, it needed to go. But I also want to take a moment and politely suggest, whatever source you have previously been relying on, you should perhaps not depend on it further. It was not even partly correct (it entered the realm of fiction, it was that inaccurate).
Thanks for your time and consideration. I hope you have a good evening.

That was my first thought, but really just the American cars are 1950s. They did get some Soviet cars and those friendly with the government have some Mercedes. But the rest of the country is just run down old buildings or Soviet era buildings, some newer ones going in too. It's not at all 1950s living.

“Luxury apartments” are now considered granite counters, vinyl floors, and stainless appliances.

What are you protesting? Theyre under arrest and the legal system is doing its job. Stupid shit like this accomplished nothing but making you feel good and allowing you an outlet for virtue signaling.

Five of the officers involved have been fired and charged with murder. What other justice are you seeking?

Love the false equivalency at the end there. Really, words and guns are fundamentally the exact same things, so it makes total sense. If you think about it like a Galaxy Brain.
That's a cool example of a story where someone stopped a shooter with a personal handgun because of lax gun laws. Leaving aside the fact that you completely left out any rebuttal of the idea of mental health screening (which again would mitigate the absolute number of shootings) let's take a look at another, extremely high profile case. Or two.
In Uvalde Texas (Texas is a state with extremely lax gun laws in case you weren't aware) a shooter entered a school and murdered 19 kids and two teachers. He did that despite the fact that there were armed, armored, and highly trained police there within minutes. Then, all 350+ cops (legal gun owners/carriers all) refused to enter to confront one man with a gun in the name of OfFiCeR SaFeTy. Not only that, but those same cops prevented other people, including parents of the kids being killed, from entering the school to confront the shooter with their own personal guns.
Not sure if you're old enough to remember Columbine, in April 1999 - twenty-three years before Uvalde. These two guys (who I pause to editorialize might have been caught beforehand with mental health screening) killed several students. Cops and SWAT (again, all carrying guns) surrounded the school in about fifteen minutes. Despite hearing gunshots continue for another 30 minutes after that, they also thought it was ToO DaNgEroUs aNd ScArY for them with their MP5s and body armor to confront two literal teenagers. They made no effort to enter the school for almost three hours - not even when students sheltering in a classroom taped handmade signs to the windows begging for help for their wounded, bleeding teacher (the teacher died before help arrived)
The cops sat on their tacticool gear for two hours after hearing the last of the gunshots at Columbine. Two fucking hours in their head-to-toe body armor doing fuck all. The reason they didn't hear any more gunshots during those two hours was because the shooters had killed themselves. So the punchline here is cops let people bleed to death and sit in absolutely traumatizing fear for their lives for two fucking hours because they were too scared to confront. And here I remind you that this was twenty four years ago - they haven't improved their tactics in a quarter fucking century.
So why the absolute fuck should citizens be hoping to just happen to be in the presence of someone carrying a gun who might stop the shooter, rather than counting on mental health screening? Especially because those armed citizens often shoot innocent bystanders at the scene of a shooting just because of the chaos of it all.
Don't respond to this comment unless you're going to address the idea of mental health screening. Stop talking about GuN FrEe ZoNeS being the problem because I'm definitely not advocating for that solution, and I thought I made that pretty clear in my very first response to you.

Which they have been doing since Rodney King happened 31 years ago. Protesting obviously doesn’t change anything.

I’ve had the Turkey (Thanksgiving) from J & L, my boss brought it in for us a while ago. It was very tasty- thanks for the recommendation, totally forgot about that place.

Try J+L Deli. If you like chicken, I promise you they are worth getting to try. IMO, best sub shop around the area.
Marcellos is okay for subs. Don't like their greasy pizzas though.

>The current state-by-state laws make it way too easy to buy in one state and transport to another.
To be fair, that's generally already illegal, and multiple times over depending on who's doing it.
I'm not sure if standardization of firearms laws where some states get stricter and some looser, would actually improve things or not.
Automobile laws are largely similar across the board and they're still regularly violated, too.
