It actually makes perfect sense! It looks like one of those plastic thingies that you can shrink and expand. Nature is wonderful.

Where's the lie? This is all based on the facts of the matter. I'm literally giving context, not leaving it out. How is it lying to say a situation is more nuanced than it might seem at first? Lol.

And yes, his victims were of course not innocent people either, and they acted like utter cretins, most likely influenced by mob psychosis (not excusing them but it is an observable phenomenon). But as the post says, the process we have for that is trial, not death.

All in all, I think he should've been charged with something – whether it's violating curfew or illegal possession of a firearm, and sentenced appropriately (it'd probably be community service or something – which, seeing how people are portraying him, would be something he'd have enjoyed anyway). But not for manslaughter or murder. He defended himself, but he also wasn't supposed to be there in the first place.
I've seen people argue premeditation because "he went there looking for trouble, found it, and killed" – but the only evidence there is for that are the social media posts of the other people he was there with, which again, guilt by association and hard to prove in court.
To sum up, he's not a cold blooded murdered but he's also not an innocent widdle baby boy uwu as some are portraying him. He's a kid who tried to play hero and made some big mistakes in the process, some of which were against the law and he should've known better.

Here's my two cents:
In the particular situation he was, he's not guilty. People were charging at him, and gunshots were fired in the air that made him believe he was fired at. Clearly self defense.
However! He's not innocent either. He crossed state lines with a weapon that wasn't his (bought for him by a friend for this specific occasion – does it qualify as illegal possession? Or should the friend be charged with something?), joined with a far right militia, the members of which were caught posting stuff on social media about how they're going there to shoot protesters (yes yes, guilt by association blah blah – but since it's so relevant to mention the background of his victims, it's also relevant to mention the background of his associates), and violated both the police curfew (addressed specifically to wannabe vigilantes like him) and the wishes of the store owners he wanted to "protect" – one of them specifically said he didn't want anyone playing hero for his sake.

I'd take issue with the "most feminists" part. Every feminist I know expects equality and nothing more. The kind of women who will split the chores and the bills, they won't expect you to do anything more than your fair share, than equal responsibility.
That said, if you do know people who want special treatment (and if you're from the US I'd for sure believe that you do, I've seen some of those bad actors myself and was shocked at the BS coming out of their mouths) then I'm sorry you have this bad experience and those people are 100% hypocritical dumbasses.

Usually when someone comes to me and asks me to smell something, it's to determine whether it's still good to eat or should be thrown out.
A hyper sense of smell is both a blessing and a curse.

The font looks like it's from Bloodborne too, so I'm guessing it's part of the joke and not a hilarious coincidence. Still pretty good tho

I wanted to make a pun about the Justice League becoming the Social Justice League. But then I realized it's impossible for that steaming pile of shit to be someone's favorite movie.
Welp, my favorite movie already kinda is about social justice so that's no skin off my nose I guess.

And it's totally fine to say that it's generally that way in your experience, I was just uneasy about Bob implying it's somehow inherent since we have very clear historical (and in my personal experience, current) evidence to the contrary.
I also feel like the whole thing could technically be disproved by the existence of male paparazzi, haha.

Hell yeah, Kyle Kulinski is absolutely based. Surprised to see him shared here, thought he was pretty niche. I mean he has a lot of subs but it's still niche on the massive internet scale.
