This Might be Lies

Some of this might be lies.

@Sturmpioneer44 @gnomepillen @FischerKing64 Except they do. There are about 12-14 suicides/100,000 in the US. But if you look at gun suicides (25k) as a percent of gun owners (~80 mil) you’d get about 30/100,000. Japan is 12.2 and S Korea is 21

@j0ekerzredstone @CBSNews Literally the headline and very first line of the article say the *defense* was trying to call the FBI informant to the stand… I know it’s difficult to make it that far

@jamesdylangold @notreallyjcm @LHSummers If only we had a term for when you owe someone money today but won’t have it until next week.

@brucefenton @AndrewYang How did the government cause this bank to be bad at banking?

@davidgaw @neontaster Ok so they shot it down now. You happy?

@JohnG573 @LombardiHimself Guess that’s why he was the 4th option at QB this season?

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@ToadFrog1925 @LombardiHimself The defense held them WAY below their average yards (404 avg, 269 today), yards per pass, yards per rush attempt. Hurts with a 72 passer rating. 5/15 3rd downs. Penalties were terrible but a D without a QB who can drive is cooked too

@bennie_coleman @maskartists @T_C_Richardson @LeftyLucy2020 @Triiiclops_013 @Chris26353343 @roderickburrell @briebriejoy So, it’s the parents fault, but the kid is the one who ends up paying the price with his life and this is your idea of a just and moral outcome?

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy Someone rolling tanks down the street and dropping bombs on you to take over your country isn’t just “stealing”, they’re also trying to kill you.

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy No. I think lethal force is justified if someone is trying to kill you (this used to be an uncontroversial opinion).

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy And a car is not a home, or a country.

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy Lmao yes, a full scale military invasion of a sovereign nation and a kid jacking a car are obviously the same thing. Your logic is unimpeachable

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy Now you’re making up future crimes to justify this? Suddenly doesn’t have anything to do with putting the people he stole from at risk of starving. He’s a bad kid once and always so deserved what he got?

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy The point is, the scenario of immediately losing housing and starving because of losing a car is unlikely. A person would have options, even if they are shitty, limited options. A dead child has no options.

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy Insurance, buying/renting/borrowing all kinds of other vehicles, you prob have food in your fridge and a little money to buy at least some time. The situation of “if I don’t have *this* car *right now* my family will starve” is not plausible

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@Chris26353343 @briebriejoy Except if your honest, that’s not really the choice. It undoubtedly would be a hardship to have a car stolen but I can think of a dozen things that I would do to not reach the point of a homeless, starving family after losing a specific vehicle.

@closrod08 @TheRickWilson If BLM protested me I’d probably have shot a black person unjustly or covered it up. If Antifa showed up, I’d… be a fascist. Don’t care for either of those.

[This Might be Lies @thismightbelies]

@closrod08 @TheRickWilson I like where everyone’s heart is at but they’re reading the question wrong. I’d rather the Jan 6 crowd disagree with and protest me cause then I’d be sure I was on the right side of the debate.
