FWIW, his wife ( who knows if she's correct) said "He cold plunged at night, alone, in 23 degree weather and the water was even colder. "

Is that mt wachusett in the background?

FEMA Prison.

I’m assuming you did it in a therapeutic setting with a sauna handy. Not the ocean. At night.

This is the stupidest fucking comment I’ve ever read on this entire subreddit

>"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."

-Interesting showing your bias by comparing two constitutional amendments and you call it false equivalency lol

​

>"That's a cool example of a story where someone stopped a shooter with a personal handgun because of lax gun laws."

- Thanks that state actually follows the SCOTUS Bruen decision and allows people to carry outside of their home unlike MA.

​

>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."

- Thanks for inserting your opinion here. Do you have any proof that mental health screenings will mitigate the absolute number of shootings? Or this is textbook example of false equivalence?

​

>"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."

-Cool story, please quote where I said this was the most optimal solution and please quote where I mentioned the police at all (beyond generally being a bit too late when shit happens which is understandable they can't be everywhere).

​

>"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."

-Because I just provided you an example of what happens when an armed citizen encounters a mass shooting in a mall. Because Mass isn't compliant with the Bruen decision, citizens in these situations as we've witnessed today, die. Whereas in the example I provided everyone lived. Civilian Competition shooters often out shoot top performing military operators and police officers and even swat members.

You're really set on mental health screening. I don't have to screen you mental health because of the stupid shit you're saying right here but you're still allowed to exercise your 1st amendment right. Why should the 2nd amendment be any different? They are both amendments.

Regarding your mental health boner, I must say I agree to an extent. I feel healthcare in America has inflated costs with pretty shitty patient care. I feel like more gun owners would go for mental health screenings just on their own but due to new red flag laws if you seek help your guns can be taken away from you and you have to go to a judge and ask for them back who can hold them for years. So if I were to satisfy your mental health requirement I would agree with you and say mental illness is rife in America and frankly there should be no stigma, rights removed, or fiscal block to seek these services.

>"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."

I addressed it for you, hope that leaves you satisfied my man.

You feel scared to go in public?

the comments on this post are so disappointing.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave ✌️

They always have something funny on that sign. It’s fun to see fellow Abington residents in the comments.

Was there at the Target about 45 minutes before it was reported, I believe i left about 20-30 minutes before it broke out.

….. …….. …..yes, yes of course. Cold plunging, he loved that. Nothing to see here keep it moving people.

I think they may be protesting the fact the police keep hiring dudes that are murdering innocent unarmed people. Obviously not every policeman do this or are bad. But I could understanding saying that this shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Do you have a link to the dash cam footage, out of curiosity?

It's not man it's in the hands of protestors. They're the ones deliberating and handing out the sentence

That’s a new years day thing. This guy was doing it regularly. I’ve seen the really cold plunge pools at a few spas.

Yup, and apparently in San Francisco people will shame you if you use a wetsuit: https://archive.is/Qw8t6

We did ice baths in D1 high school sports 20+ years ago -- after grueling football two-a-days, between back-to-back track events, etc. Long before Roe Jogan's shiny thumb of a head became so popular. But not at night... in the ocean... alone...

The cold immersion eases inflammation and improves muscle recovery. Hop into a sauna / hot-tub / hot shower right after and your joints & muscles feel like jello (in a good way). It's like an all-natural recovery cheat code.

Reddit doesn't know dick about fitness / sports though. Anything remotely physical is bro-ism.

Funny sign. Very mediocre subs.

I saw this yesterday and didn’t get a picture because the light was green. :)

It’s literally in the hands of the justice dept now. Let it play out.

The Oxbow

>View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm, commonly known as The Oxbow, is a seminal landscape painting by Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School. The painting depicts a Romantic panorama of the Connecticut River Valley just after a thunderstorm. It has been interpreted as a confrontation between wilderness and civilization.
