One of the most difficult events at the Olympics
is javelin catching. Contestants don’t last long.

Government response: Put backup cameras on all people involved in track and field including waterboys, towel stewards, and local paper sportswriters.

“Javelins are dangerous.............”

Is Georgia even an open carry javelin state?

In San Fran especially and government run schools the athletes specialize in javelin swallowing and the patented javelin poke wrestling move, approved by state and school officials, bullied onto students as normal and healthy, and leading to the recent school shooting.

Anything else you need tg?

No one needs a javelin over 3ft long. This javelin had an armor piercing steel tip. No one needs a javelin with a steel tip. A rubber tip would be much safer.

A gremlin would have been the pacer for the sprinter.

Considering another name for them are SPEARS, yeah they are.

Who is surprised the snowflakes and libtards havent demanded these weapons be banned from schools? If it saves one life...

Now Ive just given a libtard a future career.

There were many javelin accidents in the stone age. I remember lots of them.
