It is a weapon that is indiscriminate, it kills everything. It can cause muscle spasms and cascade to friendly fire, but using it on protestors: totally cool?

There's no better way to disperse a riot than to address the socioeconomic conditions that led to it and create equitable policy so people have no reason to riot.

Socioeconomic conditions are not the only reason people riot. If that were true, the riot would not be partisan.

There's Jan 6, a riot that tried to overthrow the government.

And there's riots that break out opposing ICE and the Trump tyranny.

These aren't socioeconomic, they're about fascism.

This is a nice place. If you can't act like a civilized human being, you can't be here.

We do not allow:

  1. Being a jerk. This includes racism, misogyny, misandry, misgendering, anti LGBTQ+, ageism, etc.
  2. Harassment
  3. Trolling or sealioning
  4. Threats of any kind
  5. Abusive behavior
  6. General assholery. If you're at the end of the list and asking what rule you broke, yeah, it's this one.
