April 13th, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will be so close to earth that it should be visible to the naked eye. Not outside the realm of possibility that a deflection from another object in space could send it right at us.
I believe it is a reference to this quote from back in 2016:
Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he losing? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Bernie to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was polling well in New York???? This is so fucked.
Gouging someone's eye out would be considered "great bodily injury". You can use lethal force to prevent great bodily injury to yourself or another. So if a laser is essentially performing the same function as gouging someones eye out by blinding them, officers should be justified in shooting at the people with lasers.
While i am overwhelmingly pro police, this is a terrible idea. Just imagine yourself trying to open up your business and the police are there to tell you "no", because Covid or any other bullshit reason. Now imagine yourself saying, "fuck you" and getting arrested for a hate crime.
This is big country with 320+ million people in it. The overwhelming majority of this country is at peace. There are a few liberal shitholes that are allowing this nonsense to continue. The way you fight back is by voting and electing reps that will fight against the Marxist ideology. Reps that will support our police and allow them to actually enforce the law.
If you want to go play GI Joe out in the streets and start killing fellow Americans, go for it. As for me, I will play defense. If they attack me or mine, I'll fight. If the police are no longer able to protect the citizenry, I'll fight. But I don't think we're there yet.
It's not Apathy to want to avoid a civil war. All other options must be exhausted before it comes to that.
On the flip side, by not joining in, they are never going to actually face adversity and will not become "battle hardened". This is good because when the shit really hits the fan, they will be overwhelmed by the reality of battle.
In my opinion, we're not at the breaking point. We still have POTUS and we still have police. Let them do their job. You can take a stand and defend monuments, etc. But we're not at the point of open fighting. Open fighting will bring the police down on us. I'm not prepared to shoot it out with the cops, so as long as they are in place, I will obey the law.
I think that with President Trump out of the office, people who would otherwise show restraint, will now fight back to some extent. Not necessarily anything organized, but I think there will be a lot more dead rioters than the first go around. I know riots affect all races, but white people in particular are at the breaking point.
