    Mmm, yes it does.
    You're making a snap judgment about, well, everyone.
    Which is exactly the complain about lot of people have.

    Pivot and deflect. That was not a response.

    Yes it is. It isn't my fault you didn't specify whose complaints.
    The complaint people have about this situation that I was addressing is that homeless people are treated inhumanely. And this is a shining example of it.
    If you have other specific complaints you want me to address, then be specific.
    I know, I know. It's hard.

    People. The public. That is a 100% satisfactory answer to "who."

    Saying "Joe Bloe at 123 Fake St, Anywhere USA said this" would not change the argument one iota.

    Saying "petty crime, open drug use, unsanitary conditions and fire hazards" only indulges you with your trifling game if making people repeat what you already fucking know.

    It is not inhumane to put those priorities ahead of someone's feelings.

    No it isn't. Are you saying 100% of the people are in agreement?

    It does specify what you actually want me to address, and where the concerns come from.

    Petty crime? What petty crime is that woman committing?
    Open drug use? Like what? Smoking? Vaping? Drinking a beer?
    Fire hazards? You're going to have to explain that one.

    Yeah, that woman really needed to stuff her feelings down while leaking birth fluids all over the sidewalk.

    is there really?

    looks more like running the gamut from A to B. although "strategic pregnancy" is an intriguing take...

    Also kinda interesting that you're seeing this entirely as the pregnant woman's liability and say nothing about holding the guy who knocked her up accountable...

    This has nothing to do with anything.
    I know you get aroused at the idea of chokiing people to death, but at this point you're just starting to embarrass yourself.

    All homeless people are horror movie monsters that want to hurt you.
    So practice your lethal chokehold.
    And only the lethal one.
    Subduing makes you an homosexual.

    That's why @Spaceturkey is really dead! :soma:
    He lies about being able to talk troubled patients down.
    Nope, they killed him.
    Matter of fact, they kill him every week.
    Turk's really Kenny.

    So prove me wrong.
    Explain the connection between this incident and the Subway Chokehold Murder.
    I'll bet you can't.

    given she was sleeping on the subway-implying she herself may have been unhoused-I'm not sure what point Auntie Al is trying to make here either?

    Is he cheering the escalation of violence against the helpless again?

    I wondered if she was homeless as well.
    If so, I imagine Albert's delight with the violent murder of the homeless is in direct opposition with his hatred of anyone who emigrated here.
    I can just picture his head exploding Scanners style.

    "Defund the po-lice" ==> More shitbags attacking more innocent people, who will in turn be vilified for defending themselves.

    A) New York hasn't defunded any police. And look what still happened.
    B) Are you claiming the man who choked someone to death was vilified?

    Him not getting the love letters full of wet panties that Luigi gets = vilification.
    UA has a different dictionary than the rest of us.
    It was written by him in his teenage goth phase, and he can't stop using it.

    Googles.

    Oh, subways.

    Capitalising it made it seem like they were there to either fuck up FF or protect his fee-fees.

    Funny, though. We have British Transport Police in the UK. They've never choked anyone to death.

    Not on duty, anyway.

    this'd be one of those "quiet part out loud" moments...

    the cutest part is he thinks that by simping for this sort of authoritarianism, he'll somehow be safe from it.

    You also say you believe you are a man while we can all see you have no confidence or idea about that.
