We seem to have a chicken society here today. Atrocities with guns grab the screaming headlines and the silver screens. Defensive uses get the quiet treatment.

To be fair though... To gesture like you are going to kill doesn’t matter as to exactly how the killing would be carried out. Gesturing like a guillotine or a stabbing would be on a par. It ought to get looked into if the context is not immediately clear, and if appropriate reprimanded, reminding explicitly whoever did it that life isn’t cheap. But maybe it was just some kid reporting on what happened in a horror movie. Kids often do things like that without being malicious. Context matters so, so much.

For the love of God are you serious or did your attempt at humor just fail me? This emasculation of male children has to stop. When I was in school we played Cowboys and Indians and Army on the playground, when we got home it was more of the same. If someone gestures like a gun or a guillotine should be looked into? Sounds an awful lot like that it takes a village B.S. I guess children should just be little robots and never use their imagination, that will sure help future generations to think outside of the box and develop new concepts.

I just posted this comment on the WaPo article, off the top of my head. I only posted because it was just reply 12 or so, which means that if it’s “liked” a few times, it will stay at the top and be read by thousands of libtards all night and tomorrow.

>>>Welcome to the USSA, comrades! Start them with the “thought crime” meme early, so they will have zero expectation of outdated values like “freedom” and “liberty.” Beat down their expectations while they are young, and they will make fine little comrades.<<<
