How quickly would the police show up if they were handing out food to the homeless? Or giving away free insulin?
Each one should have a picture of Charlie Kirk on it. To celebrate his legacy, of course! So everyone can understand the lesson he taught the world. So others with the same beliefs can follow in his footsteps!
"It's worth the cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths [...] so that we can have the Second Amendment". Charlie Kirk, 2023.
Doesn't even hesitate giving it to the kid. Incredible.
The root cause of gun violence and really all crime is people feeling they have nothing to lose.
Give people something to lose, and they won't throw it away.
Only applicable to suicidal one, and only the one that really on the edge. Organized crime, fraud, petty thieves, etc, they all have thing to lose. They only think they won't get caught.
To expand on that, one lifestyle does not fit all. So if you force someone to live a lifestyle that is not authenticly their lifestyle, then they have nothing to lose.
Nah.
Like I get what you're saying, and everyone should be able to live how they want as long as it's not hurting anyone else...
But historically you're wrong. And while I understand you're trying to be an ally, you're just repeating rightwing propaganda about how different "lifestyles" are mental illnesses and people who desire a different lifestyle needs help.
Like, if you were correct, the data would back it up.
FUCKIN MURICA FUCK YEA.
