I figured I would take a look at Hogg’s meme war against us.

Already that Twitter thread is filled with absolute shit and the people on his side are retarded.

The “oops not legal” thing is a lawn dart.  I hate this meme and the guy who made it – and the people who have been saying this for years – are fucking stupid.

Remember, law darts were banned by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and not Congress.  There is no Constitutional right to possess lawn darts.

Beyond all that, is one issue: intent.  A gun is a weapon.  It is designed to kill.  Some are used for target shooting but the sporting purpose is down stream of the fact that the first firearms were weapons.  The whole purpose to own one is to kill.  We trust trust people to use that power responsibly, only to kill in self defense.  But ever time a person picks up a gun, they should know that they are holding a weapon and to treat it accordingly.

Lawn darts are a toy.  They were never designed with the intent to hurt people.  But children where injured when the were hit in the head with lawn darts.  They were terrible accidents and so the CPSC decided to have them banned because people though they were going to have a fun game in the back yard and instead a child suffered brain damage.

Not being able to tell the difference between those two positions is why the UK is banning pie servers.

Because an inanimate object is the same as a venomous sentient creature.

This guy is a fucking moron.

Insulting 48% of Americans as incestuous while advocating for violence against women.  This is very classy.

This is what we are up against, people’s whose hatred is only exceeded by their ignorance.

If this is an example of the best and brightest of Hogg’s army, they are all human sewage.

David Hogg Tweeted this:

RT if you wish to enlist in the meme war against hate and misinformation from the alt-right

— David Hogg ? (@davidhogg111) May 25, 2018

I am no defender of the alt-right, but  in 2018, “alt-right” means anybody to the right of Bernie Sanders.  When Ben Shapiro, Charles Krauthammer, and Brit Hume get called alt-right, you know it’s meaningless.

So this is really just an anti-Republican/anti-Conservative/anti-gun owner thing.

It seems so fitting that David Hogg wishes to fight us on the internet.  He is a social media internet tough guy.  For him a war is getting a bunch of people to harass a person or a business on Twitter.

He and his army of followers have soft hands, used to holding nothing more than a smart phone.

He knows that there are 150 million Americans who own 400 million guns and he intends to defeat us by pressing “send.”

This is just sad.

Let’s get one thing very clear: The safety project called Gun Free Schools is a pathetic failure. This insane mania of keeping it in place because we need to let a political side win is not only stupid but criminal.

We have a Gun Free Zone. It is not hardened. If  a student decides that for whatever reason, he needs to deal with issues he may have by spraying his fellow students with gunfire, killing will ensue till the shooter dies or surrenders. Political bullshit comes about, sometime useless solutions are implemented and the Kill People In School Video Game 5.0 is reset for the next player without any changes.

Right now, another player is preparing to take his turn at the controls. He may choose to attempt what previous players did or do variations in the theme.  But he knows the game is the same: A soft target that can provide a high score and notoriety. Level One is always there, easy for the picking because the “software engineers”will not change the design.

We need to change that. We need to show the future “gamer/killers” that they will have no chance, that they will not make a pile of bodies, that they will never be successful and notorious killers. We need to introduce so many deadly variables that the game of killing High School students is no longer appealing.  That if they invade the sacred location, they will not know where danger will pop from and that it will kill him as sure as shit. That they will fail and that they will be known as the poor dumbshits that got perforated by an underpaid teacher or school cook or the 60-year-old Janitor. The shame of imagining that you,  Super Killer was taken out by some shmoo  before you could display all your awesomeness will be too hard to digest and there is only one way to avoid it.

“A strange game.”

Till we make school shooting embarrassing failures for both the Shooters and the Political Leeches that make money and fame out of them, we will continue to have more bodies pile up in classrooms.

Publix donating directly to Putnam (Whom I suspect he might be another Scott) was a dumb move advertising-wise. On the other hand, that much money seems to indicate that the Republican is considered the hands down favorite for the governorship of Florida. Publix does not make many dumb mistakes.

My position is that if you have a lot to lose, like 30% of your clientele and you are running a 3%-5% profit, you are better off not placing the name of the company up front and center where can be attacked for taking a position.

Politics is fleeting. What looks cool today is anathema  next year. If you are an artist, your risk of ending up in a Reality-TV show next to Gary Busey will increase for taking a political side.

Be smart, let others do the political fight and you be smart about contributions.

I had written about the killing of Andrew Finch but the quick summary is this: Some online gamers got mad at another plater and contacted a third asshole who specialized in Swatting people for a fee. The “expert” made a fake 911 call to the wrong address and police ended up shooting Andrew Finch who not only had nothing to do with the online game, he was not even into games. The investigation ledt to the culprits, including one Tyler Raj Barriss (the “expert SWATter”) who basically said he did not feel remorse for his actions.

A Los Angeles man accused of making a hoax phone call that led to the death of an innocent man in Wichita, Kansas, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. 25-year-old Tyler Barriss was arrested in Los Angeles late last month, and authorities there extradited him to Kansas. He made his first appearance in a Kansas courtroom on Friday, court records show.
Authorities believe that Barriss made a hoax phone call that sent police to the home of an innocent man, Andrew Finch, on December 28. Finch opened the door with his hands up. But when he briefly lowered his hands toward his waistband, a police officer shot him, believing that Finch could be reaching for a gun.
The incident appears to have originated with an online feud over a $1.50 Call of Duty bet. One of the parties to that dispute reportedly approached online user SWAuTistic, who had a reputation for initiating “swatting” pranks against online gamers. SWAuTistic called the Wichita police, pretending to be a deranged man who had already shot his father and threatened to shoot other members of his family.

Suspect in deadly Kansas “swatting” hoax charged with manslaughter

Barris can face up to 11 years in prison, not enough in my opinion. At least it may serve as deterrent for future idiots to think twice about being whiny losers .

If you feel like reading the whole indictment, just follow the link.

From the Twitter account of David Hogg:

I call on @Publix to donate double the money they gave to Putman to the Stoneman Douglas Victims fund, $1,000,000. And never support an A rated NRA politician again.

— David Hogg ? (@davidhogg111) May 24, 2018

Yep, he wants Publix to donate One Million Dollars do an anti-gun organization because Publix donated money to a pro-business Republican Gubernatorial Candidate.

What he really wants to do is sink Publix.

If Publix did this, the law of “go woke, go broke” will hit them hard.

Compare this map of Publix locations:

With this map of states by gun ownership:

Pissing off between 31.6% and 48.9% of your potential customers in your core business states is what we who study economics call a “really fucking bad idea.”

I think Publix is smart enough not to do this.

Still, I would love to see Publix tell Goebbels Jr. to fuck off.

Hogg has more than tipped his hand that he’s not out there for student safety, but that he’s a rabid, far Left, partisan who will destroy anything and everything he can that he think gets in his way.

Kowtowing to people like that never works.  Never pay the Dane Geld.

UPDATE

RD informed us in the comments that Publix caved.

I went straight to the source.

BREAKING: @Publix suspends corporate funded political contributions after coming under fire for giving money to gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam. Planned “die-in” protest is now cancelled. @nbc6 pic.twitter.com/qlW5TTLP2S

From the Tampa Bay Times:

Amid a growing backlash for its sizable donation to pro-NRA gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam, Publix has said it will evaluate its processes for giving to ensure it better reflects the chain’s “intended desire.”

In its most recent statements to associates and the media, Publix says it regrets the donation has caused “unintentional customer divide instead of (a) desire to support a growing economy in Florida.”

I am of mixed minds about this.  On the one hand:

As of right now, Publix only decided to stop donating to politicians.

It seems that they want to play it neutral to avoid controversy.

They have already given Putnam $670,000 dollars and are not asking for it back.

They have not donated to any anti-gun groups.

I will accept this act of neutrality and have no reason to stop shopping at Publix.  If, however, they give the Million to Hogg, then the shit will hit the fan.

On the other hand:

They did reinforce Hogg’s narcissistic belief that he can bend America to his will by being a tyrannical little shit on social media.

That’s not good.

I won’t consider this caving.  Caving is aquessing to Hogg’s million dollar demand.  Saying “fuck it, we upset customers, we’re stepping out of politics, no more money for anybody” is a position I’ll respect.
