Ockam's razor means basically that the simplest solution is probably the most correct one (this is a common paraphrasing of it, though the actual meaning is a bit more nuanced than that). My original comment was Hanlon's razor. :)
There are actually 9 of 'em it appears:

Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
Well, by that logic you could say that he was shot just for breathing...
Hilary was full of shit in the debates. All the things she was saying felt artificial, like putting check marks on a to do list of statements that the DNC decided would win votes from various demographics, even if the statements are contradictory. She offered no solutions to the debated issues, and even avoided pointing at the causes of the problems (very much unlike Trump, who did point out the problems, even though the solutions he provided weren't very detailed).
The Dems can't win in the debates, because they just regurgitate pre-baked statements instead of having a real conversation.
Hilary is a decent debater? The "We are great because we are good!" Hilary? I think you have a very low bar for what you would consider decent, but that only makes Biden look even worse, lol...
The biggest issue with firing a gun in a crowd, is that even if you hit your target, your bullet may pass through and hit someone else (Unless you use small caliber/hollow or soft point ammo, right?). Or even ricochet and injure someone with shrapnel...
That's why those dimwits carrying weapons with zero fucking clue on safety and proper handling, are bound to shoot someone unintended. It's a miracle that the dumbass from Austin didn't hit any bystanders with his AK...
Only if it's combined with the "male tears" merch, lol.
These are some mighty fine looking rifles right there.
I don't know if it's a question of recoil. I think it's just as likely that the guy just didn't know how to aim.
This is what happens when one loses the ability to connect cause and effect.
I like the address of this picture uploading site!
To double the dakka obviously. Quick maff!
They just got to usher the crowds towards the mayor's house, and lo and behold - the police will not only be allowed, but directed to use live ammo and flame throwers to disperse the rioters!
It's just half of the sentence! The other half goes: ".. But if China says "Fuck off!" We won't do any of those things."
That's why ushering the rioters towards where they live will just expedite the deranged left eating each other. Won't even need to employ the weaponized autists to comb through their internet history to find something to dangle in front of the cancel zealots.
I guess that to him, the courthouse is "just stuff" someone else is going to rebuild. If the federal agents could scoop the rioters and release them in the vicinity of that judge's home, I guarantee he'd sing a different song.
Contextually, though. I was merely explaining when the masks are useless. They can, however, be effective, when used properly.
I wonder how they would react if people would spray black lives matter on their fancy villas?
Preparing something in advance may lead to actual punishment, as it is premeditated. It would be better to "accidentally" spill a barrel of something. Folks've been saying concrete sealant will lead to the best effect because it'll need solvents to remove, effectively removing the paint nearby.
This is a good answer, though I wouldn't call CO₂ toxic. CO is, but CO₂ is no big deal. Also, since we're talking about gases, a mask isn't going to stop them from going either way.
The worst thing about wearing masks is that it breaks people into camps of distrust: This guy is wearing a mask, and he just sneezed! he must be sick! Or, This guy isn't wearing a mask, he's gonna kill us all!
The most sinister thing of all, when combined with the fact that those in power don't wear masks, and don't give a damn about restrictions (like that scientist in the UK that went to see his mistress, and went to a private beach when the country was locked down) is that this bullshit herds people into being forced to just go to work and home and nowhere else. Almost makes you think that those in power just want the commoners to stay in their holes and not get into their sight. This also makes it difficult to contact people in real life, which may herd people into watching "approved programming on the fair and balanced news" on TV and the internet where the propaganda would be most effective.
Now with this having been said, if wearing a mask + eye protection (like sunglasses), when using the public transportation, is going to have at least 10 or 20% protection, I think it's better than nothing, and better than the potential costs of hospitalization, and medicine for whatever organ gets permanent damage after the virus.
Masks are useless because the vast majority either doesn't want to wear them, don't wear them properly, fiddle with them all the time, keeping their hands in their faces, and don't replace surgical or N95 disposable masks (or wash cloth masks).
People wearing a rag on their face (instead of the recommended 3 layers of cloth) will say they've been wearing a mask, but their mask is useless, and is just for show.
Some people will wear masks properly, and remove it when they're talking with other people, or when they're coughing, or when they want to fix their dentures or whatever.
If you want masks to be effective, you need to use them properly, keep your hands away from your face, wash hands with soap before touching your face and mouth, and maintain distance from other people.
The falsified test results is a possibility, though, as well as false positives in the tests themselves.
What kind of stuff do you breathe so you exhale toxins?
The only reason for bacteria infections to be a thing is because the inside of the mask is dark, warm and humid. If you wash or replace your mask regularly, you won't be getting any bacteria infections.
Some people are using the same mask since the beginning of this entire shabang, though, and some of those look like they can give you the plague.
It boggles the mind how the people demanding this are so oblivious to their own racism, and so are the people (or drones) that actually support this.
I think it's a big leap to claim malice and mass murder. Knowing many professors in academia personally, I can say that these people have very narrow specialization which they know exceptionally well. Outside of their field, however, that's a completely different question.
Seeing that Fauci is a medical doctor that specializes in internal medicine, I would say that he relies on the reports of epidemiologists, virologists, and immunologists to reach his conclusions. He is not an expert in these fields, and his personal biases may have a significant effect on what he comes up with.
I honestly think that it's far more likely that this is the result of Dunning-Kruger effect than Mass murdering psychopathic malice.
If a person has such qualities, they don't remain idle. He never would've reached his position, waiting 80(!) years in order to unleash his inner psycho, so let's turn the outrage down a few notches.
It doesn't befit the reasonable people here to jump on the outrage bandwagon like the cancel culture lefties.
