Because I am not trying to defend her actions.
I agree that that is what should have happened.
Can you give me an example of how holding a metal bat in your hand and telling that to someone in this situation would not be a threat?
I don’t agree with that logic.
You are stripping away everyone’s free will except the employee.
At any point during this, anyone could have made different decisions and just stopped this whole thing
Based just on the facts, she picked up a bat and then issued a threatening statement. Whether you are 2 feet away or 50, that is still threatening someone with a weapon.
Why are you arguing against this?
I assumed nothing.
I used only the things that the lady herself stated.
If you disagree please point me to the information that you think proves your point.
I will look at it and reevaluate, I might not change my mind but I will at least listen to your opinion.
Please, feel free.
If you walk up to someone with a bat in your hand and tell them to pick on someone your own size, you are threatening them with the bat.
If not to be a threat there is no purpose to bring the bat
Did anybody read the article and see the part where she were threatening the employees with a bat and admitted to it?
I think they’re sort of burying the lede on this one.
I would completely expect the police to show up, armed and ready for someone who did just receive a call about threatening people with a metal bat.
Fuck the police and what they did to him, but let’s not pretend like this isn’t a whole other thing than the headline.
That being said, can anyone tell me what the cops did to this dude other than make him sit in the back of a police car I very well might’ve missed it.
The latter part of that article go wild
So the trans people that still like Harry Potter don’t mean anything?
They don’t come into anything but hypothetical arguments
My favorite was everyone talking about these huge fuel reserves and how they knew they had them.
Yet no one ever blew those sons of bitches up
Does anyone here actually consider Hamas anything other than a terrorist organization that got voted in in 2007 and then shut down election?
Did anyone here actually believe that Hamas were ever the good guys?
We used to think the Israelis weren’t on the same page, and we hope that they will eventually.
As much as we hate them right now, most of us still believe that they might be able to come back.
TLDR: False equivalency
I just woke up, how about now?
Have you personally donated?
Oh are you paying the bills here?
Are you hosting your own instance with blackjack and hookers and then moderating and federating and defederating appropriate instances?
No? You’re just another free user? Who feels like they get to denigrate people?
Ok
What is o7 I thought it was a typo but I keep seeing it
Ok, I can’t help but give an exception for that.
You are making sure to bang it creepily while talking in a sing-song voice right?
