The "solution" to mass shootings is to get rid of the mass instead of the shooter???

Pretty on brand for one of the worlds most fervent 'nanny states'

I'm just surprised Australia hasn't baby-fied terrorism yet. 'Antisemie does a shootie, so no more protesties!'

You clearly don't understand Anglophone culture; killing us a sacred act and blood sacrifice our highest ritual. Going after shooters would be like an Italian catholic trying to assassinate the pope!

Is it weird that now I'm craving Italian sausage? I don't even care what it's in. I'll eat a handful or two of ground Italian sausage right fuckin now.

A little if it's related to this, but not completely unreasonable. Pork and fennel go really well together.

I mean, getting rid of the racism seemed like the main take away but in no scenario does banning protests achieve this

It feels like this is just building pressure. Peaceful protests were giving people a means of expression. The vibes from the few that I have seen were pretty positive.
