It's weird that they would build such a big annoying target in a country with so many rifles
And also in a country with such a huge diabetes from sugar problem. That was a joke - fun fact sugar ruins concrete mix
Rifles are noisy. Trebuchets are not. What's the range of the average consumer trebuchet?
You can fling 100kg 300 m.
You ever hear about the people that shot up a power station? They never figured out who did it.
I went to go get a link, and turns out it happened again a few years ago.

You're a real piece of shit if you shoot up a power substation/relay...
Oh it didn't happen just once or twice. It sort of dominated the news for a month two years ago I think. Multiple states
and they build it in GOP controlled districts too. republicans, by in large do not actually protest in anyway for change.
The don't tread on me crowd are the biggest pussies in the world.
The only time they stood up and protested was against nurses as doctors trying to save lives....
Meanwhile corporations dry fucking them in the ass... they bend over and cry "Can I have some more daddy??"
There was also the Jan 6th riot.
Not a protest, but yeah
(by and large)
