Yup

That's a good reason to go to jail

that's basically assualt then

yep

i see
white oxide
so yeah

the pipe bomb ought to be domestic terrorism.
white oxide
over defending someone accidentally calling another "ma'am"
it was
but since it was so ineptly designed they only got the 8 months jail and 10 years probation

how did they doxxed you

sorry used worng chanel

if it had been a real pipebomb and not gone off, they would have had attempted murder
and use of the postal system in commission of a crime
2 felonies
white oxide
both likely consecutive 10 year jail sentences
true
i saw their picture
it was the most absolutely stereotypical LGBT predator militant nutjob
they were also apparently on the registry
mild gust
Gross
white oxide
and that stunt got them lifetime registration and apparently got them an additional 10 years of jail
basically they got 8 months from my pipe bomb
then the second they got released from federal jail, local police picked them up from the walk out to go to local state jail
theres no parole from an offense like that
clearly they are a threat to the population if a simple thing like that makes them try and murder
but yeah

there are extremists of all kind

Yeah. History sheeters should just go away forever.

Pretty much was yes

The game recreates battles from the South Lebanon conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, with the player assuming the role of a Hezbollah fighter tasked with defeating Israeli soldiers.

and so once the feds were done with them, the state/local police grabbed them to do the sentances they earned with the state

No. We don't have a law against that kind of art, yet.
They COULD go to jail for illegal distribution.
So, if they get nipped in the bug before they release and people buy said games, then it's good.
Otherwise..............
stable gull
They COULD go to jail for illegal distribution.
so the distributors are more at risk than the creators?
mild gust
Just wait Visa and Mastercard are trying.
summer cedar
so the distributors are more at risk than the creators?
Both, because once you start distributing, even the creator is in many ways a distributor. Depends on the system.
But, yes.
It's like a mod you make for a game.
You can make the mod, play the mod, but don't sell the mod.
Don't hype it, don't make it seem bigger than the actual franchise, etc. etc.

True. Then we just take your mod and sell it ourselves.

but it's true that mortal Kombat seems aggressive, i saw a video of it once and it showed xray of breaking bones
i think it was borderline gore in a way
celest musk
GTA glorifies drugs?
it just feeds the stereo types around them
it's like a action comedy movie

I mean you can smoke weed or drink alcohol then go murder people w/ a minigun
Then go after and sell meth
celest musk
who stops you from doing that in america?

same in GTA

it's like a action comedy movie
it doesn't touch overlay sensitive topics or force people to do it, maybe that's why it's okay
summer cedar

Yes, but these are things religious folk like to do, remember?
So why would it be banned?

Why do you need to go to college to be a 911 communications operator, you dont need any special education to be an actual cop
mild gust
What?
errant raven
That's what I'm saying
Fancy ass degree names you dont even need
Theres a degree for studying Shakespeare
mild gust
There's also religious studies
What's your point
Also Police Officers:
Police officers typically need to complete a police academy training program, which includes both classroom instruction and physical training. The training usually covers:
Law enforcement practices (criminal law, procedures, rights, and ethics)
Physical fitness
Defensive tactics and firearms training
De-escalation techniques
Crisis intervention (handling mental health or substance abuse situations)
Driving (for high-speed chases and patrols)
First aid and CPR
Definitely a lot more than a 911 operator
errant raven
That's not college tho
mild gust
Law enforcement practices (criminal law, procedures, rights, and ethics)?
Criminal law?
errant raven
Thats just like basic training in the military
mild gust
Your right they teach that in military
May as well just give them ar-15s to go arrest citizens
mild gust
They should if they are cops
errant raven
But they dont
mild gust
Blame the system not the cops
errant raven
Which is what I did
Why do 911 communications operators need a higher education than the guys with tasers, trained attack dogs, flashbangs, tear gas, rifles, shotguns and pistols.
That training cops get only lasts 8 weeks
mild gust
But yet entirely different jobs one focusing on actually being a cop one focused on communications.
One can give you a life of PTSD, one can give you a life of paperwork safetly behind a desk.
errant raven
Theyre the person who answers when you call 911
mild gust
Seems pretty easy.
mild gust
No shit sherlock
errant raven
Then what are you talking about they're two completely different jobs
mild gust
????
errant raven
Being the operator is easier
errant raven
What are you not getting
mild gust
Other one actually does something productive
errant raven
Which one is the productive one
mild gust
The one that is one the streets not just answering phone calls.
Sure both are needed
But if your trying to say a 911 operator is more important that's just crazy.
soft night
errant raven
I didnt say 911 operators are more important
mild gust
and they are completely different jobs?
It's like comparing apples and oranges
or IT and cyber security
errant raven
So you need a college degree to answer a phone all day
errant raven
Cops dont need a college degree
mild gust
Your mistaken if you think they don't
errant raven
Their only education requirement is a ged or high school diploma
mild gust
Then I feel bad for your american cops
But here they require having a brain
Also may not be college but they require post-secondary of some kind.
errant raven
If you know I'm in the u.s and how fucking idiotic the u.s government is, why would you think our cops would be up to standard with EU, Japan, or anywhere else
mild gust
Be it certs or w.e
soft night
errant raven
They have the same reqs as the military does
Any low form of education, physically fit, psychologically sound, and complete basic training they provide at the station you apply for
And you have to be a certain age or higher, 21 since you legally cant open cary a pistol under the age of 21
mild gust
Good
mild gust
Also for 911 operator they typically only need GED or high school degree to
errant raven
Theres so many fat cops that cant even run
errant raven
Or even know the laws they're supposed to uphold, constantly try to go around infringing your rights with manipulation
errant raven
And you have to pass a polygraph test
mild gust
That's easy
errant raven
Those test that has been debunked and not actually accurate at all
We have more diplomas for meaningless things that offer no support to any job or career. Meanwhile actual jobs require nothing too fancy, often no experience at all
mild gust
It's okay never forget there's programming jobs that required experience in proprietary software.
That you can only access at said company

errant raven

mild gust
Can we consider the years of early access actual experience with stuff changing.
white oxide
That training cops get only lasts 8 weeks
so common lie told by people who generally try and denegrate officer
most spend 8 weeks at the academy
then 13-18 months as a probationary learner
during the probationary time these rookie officers are partnered with a training officer, usually someone with a college degree, and 5+ years on the job
and during that time rookies can be fired for literally ANYTHING
911 opperators need extra training because their job is to be essentially the first responder until dedicated units show up
errant raven
They're hired before that 13-18 month training period even starts
white oxide
but they arent part of a union, arent really protected by POBR, and are essentially apprentices in the ancient meaning of the term
mild gust
Like an intern
white oxide
apprentice is probably a better term
mild gust
But with less rights
white oxide
yeah
they can literally be fired for having a damaged uniform
or saying the wrong thing during training, even by accident

they keep wanting her in SWAT, but our swat team keeps getting lent to dallas
Rip not Dallas
errant raven
I can turn my balls off or on now
white oxide
theres like 40 officers between them and sheriffs department
our town happens to be fairly rich for a suburb community of dallas
so we have a SWAT team
and a bearcat
ive been lucky enough to do a ridealong when they had to do a swat action
we were far away obviously
but seeing them use that to rip a re-enforced door off a house was wild
mild gust
Lame
white oxide
it was like a half ton metal door
soft night
mild gust
Door what door
mild gust
People in my city freaked out when our cops bought one of these
soft night
mild gust
Crying police state etc
white oxide
they ripped the door off and fired flashbangs into every window
mild gust
But the people crying that don't know how bad the city is so..
white oxide
really its just a modified armored car
mild gust
Because they don't understand what they go through
white oxide
yep
soft night
errant raven
I have a very old city police standard issue kevlar vest

if it was a police state the bearcats would have heavy guns on them
all it really is is level 6 bullet proof transport
errant raven
What is level 6 rated to stop
soft night
marshall or level 999
errant raven
But what calibers firing the ap rounds
white oxide
1-5 shots from one of these
mild gust
1 if your a cybertruck
white oxide
also meant for pit maneuvers on heavy vehicles
they used ours to stop a hijacked semi

Citizens cant even buy AP .50 cal rounds tho, without a very special license
mild gust
Just make your own
errant raven
$250 in ammo to beat a $315,000-$434,340 vehicle
It's only $25 for 5 AP .50 cal rounds.
Makes it even worse when it only takes that many to punch into a half million dollar vehicle
echo mulch
I mean you'd be surprised what I can pull off with an MRE heater, styrofoam, a little gasoline and a 2 liter empty plastic bottle.
white oxide
yeah
also just cause it isnt legal doesnt mean people cant get them
the amount of automatic arms floating around is proof of that
errant raven
Surely the glass window is what you meant in terms of 5 rounds getting through?
echo mulch
If you have a good imagination and Batmans favorite thing prep time
errant raven
also just cause it isnt legal doesnt mean people cant get them
You can buy ap .50 cal ammo, no special license
white oxide
.50 jacketed AP will punch through a LOT
errant raven
I was wrong about needing a special license
errant raven
A .50 cal was what was in that gif
echo mulch
No you can own a weapon meant for military combat without a special license, a weapon truly designed to kill
But guess what you can't do legally?

Box of 10 rounds of AP .50 is 45$ on freedom munitions
echo mulch
Seen the needle revolvers speaking of not needing a license
errant raven
The black tips are AP rounds
white oxide
"ap" for civilians is nothing like military AP rounds, and if you go to the right country you can have both
echo mulch
C02 powered
white oxide
civilian AP rounds dont have the steel cores
those are what makes them really damaging
also the .50 ammo is pretty legal in many places
its getting heavy guns like that that throws up red flags
my sister is a cop, and the .45 rifle she has for practice and home defense required multiple background checks
even in texas
echo mulch
white oxide
yeah i saw that
white oxide
the only problem with that, is its going to cause a new set of laws that will reclassify pellet guns as firearms
echo mulch
I'll just go back to using my slingshot then
white oxide
because the US lawmakers cant phathom the idea of specific laws vs generalizations and catch alls regarding guns
echo mulch
anything I can fit in my sling is a weapon
white oxide
like how you can slip between felony and legal by how you hold a gun with a brace
white oxide
mild gust
I'll just go back to using my slingshot then
Like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPZUyIg35hM

.22 with incendiary ap rounds is all you need
