I remember the thread on here about a month ago that someone posted that basically said plots should be smaller to enable more housing builds and towns and cities shouldn’t limit the amount of new construction in their jurisdiction, and like every redditor was against this.

I know it’s easy to rag on the rich but I highly doubt your average home owning r/Maine redditor is a millionaire living in some enclave in Maine, yet they share these same views. “Not my backyard”.

Thanks for clarifying that. I couldn’t think of the event or where it was to google it myself.

Although I did find this:

“The robbers wore homemade body armor which successfully protected them from handgun rounds and shotgun pellets fired by the responding officers. A law enforcement SWAT team eventually arrived with better weapons, but they had little effect on the heavy body armor used by the two perpetrators. The SWAT team also commandeered an armored car to evacuate the wounded. Several officers additionally equipped themselves with AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles from a nearby firearms dealer.”

I believe firing handguns at body armor was an inadequacy hence why they needed to go get AR15s. They had fully automatic weapons to the officers handguns. I think my point stands.

I’ve been told the owners of macs are a bit dickish. Supposedly a Native American went in and found all the Native American imagery offensive. He brought it up to management who told him to eat somewhere else if he didn’t like it. 🤷‍♀️

I haven’t been back since I heard about this.

Essentially when you power citizens with high powered weaponry the police also need to have said high power weaponry.

There was a case a long time ago (don’t remember where) of two bank robbers that had high powered guns and when the cops showed up they had to retreat because they basically brought knives to a gun fight. I think they had to go to a nearby gun store to equip themselves with the correct weaponry. I could be wrong with some details though.

Yup. Sounds about right for that party! There’s also more options than that lol. Do you think just because I have a conflicting view of yours I can’t be Republican? That sounds about right for that party too!

Not me. Democrats. You don’t even know how I vote/who I vote for or what I do with my vote. YOU on the other hand have said this is how you vote.

Also, if democrats thought this and lived by it how exactly did Susan Collins get re-elected??

😂 this is what everyone thought about all the trump signs too. Those signs are put up in cities and towns with traffic. They aren’t put into random residential suburban homes yards that frequently a dozen times!
