Seeking capitalist solutions for social problems is how we got here in the first place. I’m surprised there aren’t more strikes across the country.

No I say this as an outraged and confused witness to an abduction of two innocent women. I say this as a disenfranchised voter who is sick and tired of a complicit media using passive language about a Trump loving immigrant from the UK who just shot their daughter. I say this as a firearms owner who sadly cannot advocate for any new gun laws during the current constitutional congress in this country for fear of a Nazi like gun grab. I say this as a son, brother, father and citizen that my rights and the rights of all people in the United States are currently under threat, watching two innocent women be terrorized by Brownshirted thugs backed by a federal office. I say this as a confused resident of a country that continues to refuse to stand up for itself, held captive by controlled opposition called a Democratic party. I say this as a worker who is trying to organize a national strike, as a maker shipping whistles and radios and old mini PCs across this country so that neighborhoods can build rapid response teams to combat this shit.

Very fucking unsafe to drive the muzzle of your rifle into any rigid object. Muzzle strikes are a thing. However you target the soft tissue of an assailant that has gotten within grabbing distance of your weapon and you do not want to kill them.
What this asshole did is dangerous on many fronts. They’re using what appears to be their suppressor, which is atleast an 8” lever, that’s likely screwed into an adapter that’s then screwed onto the barrel. It’s as much of a rube goldberg setup as it sounds. However under normal wear and tear still usually robust. It’s designed to be used in tension to suppress the muzzle flash and report of a fired round by slowing and cooling the resulting gasses.
What it’s not designed as is to be used in compression, like a FUCKING HAMMER. What this asshole is doing is striking a hard surface, with a steel blunt tube, comprised of a very complicated inner geometry. Not only that but he’s striking at an angle levering the wide and rigid tube against a narrow coupler.
Now to as to the biomechanics of what is happening. He had his hand on the pistol grip and his support hand around the barrel. There’s no fucking leverage there he can meaningfully exert. There’s a reason spears don’t have pistol grips. So the hand around the pistol grip is going to try to get the most purchase on the weapon. Which means it’ll be riding up to the upper of the weapon and on the way there it could turn the weapon safety. Also, around that pistol grip is the trigger.
The driver of that car is being terrorized, by a moron, who very easily could’ve had a negligent discharge and shot her.
Fucking nightmare fuel all around. Those poor women. I hope they get justice because I would’ve gone to jail or died if it were me recording.

I would never trust a safety enough to break a window with the butt of my rifle. Soooooo many ways for that to go wrong. What a fucking moron. Those poor women.

Familiarity is important, training will save your life.
Get an IFAK and go to a stop the bleed class https://www.stopthebleed.org/
If you’re currently versed in Firearms and are able to start a chapter, or if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a local chapter the SRA is a good organization. However they are apparently fractured and their politics may not align. https://socialistra.org/
https://www.blazingsword.org/ is better for LGBTQ+ anarchists that tend to not get along with Tankies.

I’m happy we came to consensus.
Also now I’m nostalgic for tree sitting and arbor work. Be well internet stranger. Please set a timer on your phone when you sleep in the bath because hypothermia can fuck you up even in “room temp” water and cause nerve damage.
I pulled too many drunks/opiod users/babies out of too many bathtubs as an EMT.

If you’re this curious why not try it out and report back? Many people have provided exactly why the warning exists.
- Comment on Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath? 3 days ago:
Paradoxically it’s only build up of CO2 or foriegn matter, including water that will wake someone up. Hypoxia makes it more likely to pass out and drown.

And before that it was chippies, tobbacoists, and liquor stores.
Before that it was flop houses, rag/bin men and jellied eels.
Before that it was meretrix, brewers, and fish mongers.
Before that it were the fuckin romans
Before that it were the fucking norse.
Before that it were paradise.
I blame the norse and romans.

Press on, usually a transparent false nail, with a uv cured adhesive below it. Then a gel polish on top likely uv cured as well.
So clear false nails, cured, painted, cured.

Nah, AK mags are double stack so you just push the rounds down. Not like pistol mags where you have to push em in from the front if the feedlips. Not much chance of breaking a nail.

They’ll never buildout all the proposed infra. TSMC isn’t building new fabs to meet the smoke and mirrors demand that’s proposed by Altman. There’s not enough power in the grid and Trump is trying his damndest to suppress solar.

It’d help me not think you have a pregnancy fetish, or a pending pregnancy you’re scared of.

Then you know that context is everything and it would be helpful for you to put that in the description of your post.

1/5th of the way if you’re in the US buying used and don’t want a swastikkkar

Either this is fetish content or you need to go to an Obstetrician. If you’re in the US go to Planned Parenthood
