This thread has been a fun read. You guys say we all need to stick together, but let me ask you this. Let's say John your neighbor down the street gets served with a warrant to take all his weapons and ammo well John decides he will comply with their ilegal order by giving them his bullets back first as fast as he can around 3000 feet per second. John takes out about 3-4 of the POS traitors to the USC and some how they let John live and arrest him we all know whats going to happen next John will be all over the news shown as a monster POS citizen who just killed 3-4 hero police officers who just wanted to come home to their wife and kids. Who on this thread is going to have John's back? Who is going to send John money for his legal defense? Who is going to put their own lives and fortunes at risk and go bust John out of jail? Here is what would happen as far as this place goes. A new thread would be started in the "Bear Pit" with a thread title like "POS ASSHOLE SHOOTS UP FOUR POLICE OFFICERS"
Excellent point. That's what happens if John is a grey man. We've seen it countless times.
Something happens, what's the first thing people do once they get a name? They scour the internet looking for clues.
What if they don't find much (Like Stephen Paddock)? They get curious as to what the motivation was, they doubt the official story.
What if they find some crazy shit (like Elliot Roger)? He's a weird, unstable motherfucker.
What if, instead, they find tens of thousands of pages of rational political, philosophical, and logical debate, community involvement, charity work, pleas to local, state, and federal legislators to calm the hell down and vote for the constitution, and most anything else they could ever want to find?
What if John has friends that spread what they knew about him (like Charles Landeros)? What if a bunch of those friends said, "John was a great guy. He didn't deserve that. I'd have done the same damn thing."
Or, flip the script a bit. What if John's neighbor went through that, and John wasn't home at the time but found out soon after what had happened? What if John knew shitloads of people and could spread a message? What if he said, "This is some fucked up shit. That dude should not have gone through that, NO ONE should have, and I'd have done the same damn thing given the circumstances."?
What if John wasn't a grey man, he was just a man that tried to be good, tried to stand up for what he believed in, and voiced his opinions on shit any chance he got, with as much care and detail as time allowed?
What would that bear pit thread look like then?
"THEY FUCKIN' KILLED JOHN!"
