Its not most people. I would bet its a good portion though and I'm sure they all have a lot in common, like hate for LGBTQ+ and support for nationalism and laws based on their religion. Sounds like Y'all Qaeda...

I doubt most people do. I dont, nor do my friends or family. Perhaps you need to reevaluate the people around you?

Some people don't think cops should be accountable for their actions, especially if that accountability might cost them a couple dollars. Those same people tend to not see problems in the behavior of the police..

Then what's the point of your comment? If your not advocating for personal responsibility/liability of officers what are you trying to say?

Why is everyone so bothered by this? Looks like the link text was used instead of an actual title.

I'm sure some people thought about it, unfortunately many just didn't care and ignored them.

And yet we still have violence. Some people don't care about words. When I was sleeping outside, homeless, A couple young adults/teenagers tried to set me on fire. How would you have solved that with an open mind and kind words? How about the mugger who stabbed me before asking for my wallet? Luckily it was winter and I had a puffy jacket on. I felt the knife brush against my side under the jacket and it cut my shirt as well. So so so close.

I believe a court case changed some of that. Something to do with Dirk knives I think and definitions used.

There is no active draft now. The system is still in place and we all have to sign up for it by law or you can't get/do certain legal things.

Over 4 inches is fine if its a tool and you have reasonable use for it. I can carry a large machete across town if I am going to work clearing land of brush and such. I can also carry a larger knife for hunting/fishing purposes as well as sport or outdoor survival such as camping or hiking. I do wood carving so I often have a few knives, one over 4 inches, I am also looking for a small carving axe/hatchet for spoons/bowels and removing excess wood. It is legal for me to carry the knives and small axe to the waterfront downtown in order to carve boats and such on the pier.

You can carry any knife under 4 inches, except I believe double edge dagger. Over 4 inches is ok if its a tool that you use. So if you do landscaping you can carry a machete or a scythe. I have a 5" knife I use for woodworking and carving as well as camping and fishing. It is legal to carry but your millage may vary with the officer and you may take the ride but the charge won't stick. You also never call a knife a weapon or refer to it as self defense, it is a tool and that's important legally.

Perhaps cardboard/foam "Pitchfork" props with some signs stating that due to Eversource price gouging real and functional pitchforks could not be afforded. Other signs that say "Thanks to Eversource we can't even afford to eat cake!"

Anarchy in a political sense does not mean no laws. It means no vertical hierarchy however people would still be in leadership/managerial positions chosen and rotated and without absolute authority.

But they are trying to stir up distrust and hatred of Sikhs here. What type of people might they be trying to stir up? Its not the loving and accepting community members but the ignorant and already hateful.
