I'd rather just have the tax money, make castle doctrine and pro-2A nationally, the police would have a lot of work cut out for them.

Imagine riding up to a crime scene only having to write a report of how an imbecile got shot trying to break through a window.

This is the part they don't understand. Police are paid a salary to exercise restraint that the common folk will not have at those times.

Imagine being told police are only going to enforce traffic law, drug dealers and pedo rings are on the citizens to handle and how fast shit would change.

I struggle to understand why I should have restraint if someone breaks into my home, as they clearly value my things more than their life.

True, and half my shit is as worthless as their lives.

But Castle doctrine disproportionately impacts people of color!

Only restraint I’d have is not scalping their corpse after

No teabagging, either. You have no clue what diseases they have, and you want none of that near your balls.

Titanium 5 points ago +5 / -0

in that case they are probably not breaking in for your stuff

CRobinsFly 8 points ago +8 / -0

I disagree. Without having any stats handy, I am going to venture to say that probably 95% of burglar encounters occurred because the burglar didn't realize the property was occupied, or, they thought they wouldn't be seen. Which implies that yes, they were breaking in for the stuff. It's draconian but the owner of the property shouldn't have to wonder whether they were the other 5% (ie the burglar wants to kill them).... if you don't want to die, don't violate someone's right to their property and privacy. It's simple.

It’s more about restraint in hunting them down after they break in when nobody’s home.

Ahh yes, paramilitary death squads for criminal offenders.

And after a few years we would have a lot less work as well. A dead dummy can't hurt/rob/steal/rape again (but they can vote Dem).

Not in Asheville, but it’s the closest big city to where I am. People from all over the region travel there for the mall, movie, food, etc.

It’s already a shitshow. Asheville has long been a bright blue island in a sea of red. It’s a college town so the professors and students tend to lean communist. They vote in this insane stuff then get to flee. There is a massive drug culture, homelessness on Tunnel Road, and Antifa mini protests (too lazy to actually riot every day unless it’s a special occasion). Lots of crime, such as shootings, massive drug busts (including a college professor), and murder (one lady who was on video in a racist tirade against BLM supporters was struck by a mysterious vehicle a few weeks later and died from her injuries). A fourteen year old tribal member went missing over there (rumors are drug-related). The hippie culture is out of control and has destroyed historically beautiful districts. The unwashed mob has tried to branch out into the surrounding areas but been pushed back by irate locals who despise what they are doing. They are still angry that the Sylva PD and citizens joined forces to protect a statue they were trying to destroy. They gave up targeting Sylva when they decided to march from downtown to Walmart and were met with lots of locals enjoying the beautiful weather and cleaning their hunting guns.

I think most of us are just going to avoid Asheville. It’s not safe, and it’s about to get so much worse. Weirdly, it’s also home to the Biltmore House. Look at photos of Anderson Cooper growing up there, then look at the weird “Halloween Room” and the very distinct pool, which featured heavily in the child exploitation artwork Pedosta loved. If the cops are incapacitated, maybe the rioters will go peacefully protest that hell gate.

I’d love to meet with fellow TD folks! I’m in the Bull City and have no real fellow Trump supporters around me, that I am aware of. Everybody assumes Chapel Hill is the bastion of retarded leftists in the area, but Durham probably takes the cake. We had more people vote democrat than any other city or county in the state in 2012, but I’m not sure about 2016. Of course, we have a decent size black population and of course they showed out for Obama, but so did I back then (now one of my biggest regrets)! Anyways, it would be pretty sweet to meet up with some likeminded people from around here, or at least people who don’t call you a notsee and want murder you and your family dog just because you believe in freedom of speech, lower taxes, or not wearing a fucking mask while in your god damn swimming pool. I just saw where the mouth breathers vandalizes a good 40+ businesses in Downtown Durham last night....I’m sure Breonna is doing better today, due to their dipshittery! Maybe Breonna shouldn’t have been slinging rock and she wouldn’t had lead slung her way! Also, I saw where some journalist was attacked in Asheville last night and got fucked up pretty bad, with serious brain trauma. Fucking thugs! I wish these assholes would get raped by a horde of giraffes that had just snorted up all the meth in Tennessee and all the Viagra Pfizer has to offer! Sorry, a little heated this morning and just sick of these retarded thug muppets! But, a meetup would be awesome! Take care and be safe.

It's a syndrome where too many people are lead to believe that they are unique and special. They flock to Asheville and similar cities to peddle their kindergarten level crafts and get disenfranchised when they find out they are just like everyone else. Since they threw away any real education and they cannot figure out how to acquire any valuable skills that are beneficial to society. It is sort of sad but there is hope. Another term by President Trump and the powerful creative skill of the remaining American workers should open up opportunity for these souls should they choose to accept real help to help themselves.

LittleRedRidingPills 8 points ago +8 / -0

They think they want to be "free" to be as "incredibly unique" as they think they are, so they move to these hippie enclaves, but then they not only realize they're not unique, but that they don't want freedom; they want to be taken care of. They're either homeless, drug addicted, or a card-carrying Identitarian determined to milk the system of imagined oppression.

Free dial-up was (is?) a thing. Remember NetZero?

NetZero was the bomb back in the day. Funny how many people grew up post non internet world. Wish we could go back to be honest.

Wolfebane84 2 points ago +2 / -0

The web is fine.

The giving every insane fucker that would normally be in a sanitarium a GLOBAL SOAPBOX is the problem.

Like if the internet had developed WITHOUT social media it would be fine.

The old style BBS and IRC stuff was as far as it should have gone.

Bring back the old style insane asylums and sanitariums so we can put these people in an ACTUAL safe space (for the rest of us) and we're golden.

I had a service from a similar company Juno. There also was the K-Mart free internet as well.

Did they have free internet too?

2
zabbers 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yes. Several services copied the NetZero model. (or maybe they copied others)

They eventually offered free internet services too. Then eventually merged with NetZero.

Instead of asking how much you would like to "defund the police" people should be asked how much longer would you like emergency response times to be?

would you like the average emergency response time to be a minute longer, 2 minutes longer, 3 minutes longer, 7 minutes longer, 15 minutes longer?

The police can't be everywhere and they do their best to respond to emergencies but I'm reminded of the phrase ... the police will be there in minutes when seconds count.

Comntrinchief [S] 3 points ago +3 / -0

Or not show up at all.

I like your reframing of this.

15 minutes longer sounds good. That leaves me some time for interrogation.

Once a perp breaks down your door, the cops can't get there in time to save you either. Hope you didn't demand to have your guns taken away!

Why would the police need "free internet" anyway?

Like what does that even mean?

Like all the officers get free internet at home?

1
Comntrinchief [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

It reads a little wired. One of the BLM demands for police fund reallocation was free internet in public housing.

2
Wolfebane84 2 points ago +2 / -0

If you're in public housing I'm pretty sure you're poor enough to qualify for the free internet Comcast offers. If Comcast does that, I'm sure other companies do to.

While they do want free shit, they don't even want to work enough to look for it, just demand it from people who actually work.

CantStumpTheTrump 1 point ago +1 / -0

Yes.

One of the positives will be the fat cutting. They can provide their own internet access. In rare cases were someone in the higher ups in the chain needs a p2p circuit is needed for whatever reason that can be addressed. But those cases should really be limited.

The issue is we've made a lot of data protection laws mean that if we want the chief to be able to look something up when he gets woken up at 4 in the morning the policies state they have to have a private connection and all sorts of shit which we then get to pay for for their homes. Pay 40k a year to have the current cheif able to do shit; or pay for a whole second person a yearly salary (hundreds of k) to be available when the first one can't.... its kind of in our interest to pay for it.
