Damn straight. Glad to see this response.

I wanted to throw up hearing his name uttered during that attack by that terrorist madman.

[livingliketrash]

Anyone who tries to blame Pewdiepie for the NZ shooting is absolutely vile.

Do not put that guilt onto someone else. Do not dare try to pin the murder of innocent people onto him because a murderer who said he wanted to get as much media attention as possible used a current meme to do so.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

What happens next after school shootings?

-NRA goes silent

-Politicians tweet “Thoughts & prayers”

-Nothing changes

Rinse and repeat

[livingliketrash]

17 children died today, on valentines day of all days, because the people who run this country still believe the freedom to own horrific weapons is more important than being able to send your child to school without the fear of them being murdered. and these are the people that call themselves “pro-life”.

“Guns Don’t Kill People”

You’re right. Guns are inanimate objects and they do not, in fact, have the ability to operate on their own nor the consciousness to harbor malicious intent.

People Kill People.

People are not inanimate objects and people do operate on their own and they do possess the consciousness required to have malicious intent.

People Kill People With Guns.

“People could use other weapons if they didn’t have guns! It wouldn’t make a difference!” 

Yes. People could use other weapons if they didn’t have a gun. A knife, for example. 

Guns are quicker, easier and more efficient. Guns are used in MASS MURDERS.

49 killed, June 12, 2016, Orlando Florida Nightclub

32 killed, Apr 16, 2007, Virginia Tech

27 killed, Dec 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School

18 killed, August 1, 1966, University of Texas

13 killed, Apr 20, 1999 - Columbine 

17 killed today, February 14th, 2018 at Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School.

They all happened within minutes. They all happened before the cops could get there to stop them from happening. So sure, people could kill people with other weapons, but not like this!

“People who do things like this will still get their hands on guns if they are illegal, just like people still buy illegal drugs!” 

That may be true, but it would still drastically decrease the frequency at which we are faced with these tragic events.

“Making guns illegal won’t make a difference!” 

Really? Tell that to Australia.

In April 1996, 35 people were killed by a gunman, Martin Bryant, wielding semi-automatic weapons at a former prison colony and tourist attraction in Tasmania, Australia.  The Port Arthur massacre caused outrage throughout Australia, causing their government to ACTUALLY TAKE A STAND AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! 

As of 1996 Australia has 28-day waiting periods, thorough background checks, and a requirement to present a “justifiable reason” to own a gun. And “Self-Protection” isn’t considered a valid reason like it is here in the U.S. 

There hasn’t  been a mass shooting in Australia since.

THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MASS SHOOTING IN AUSTRALIA IN 22 YEARS!

The U.S. has seen 30 Mass Shootings in 2018 alone and it’s only FEBRUARY!

“It’s our constitutional right to own a gun”

Yes. Okay. You got me. It’s in the Constitution. 

Do you know why the second amendment exists? 

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 

This doesn’t seem well regulated anymore. Nor is everyone in the country part of the “Militia”. We also aren’t talking about a goddamn musket anymore, we’re dealing with semi automatic weapons that kill large quantities of people in mere MINUTES.

DO SOMETHING AMERICA! Get your trigger happy heads out of your asses and admit that guns ARE A PROBLEM. It’s not the guns fucking FAULT but when someone has an alcohol problem, you take the alcohol away. America has a gun problem. TAKE THE FUCKING GUNS AWAY.

[livingliketrash]

don’t show the shooter’s face. don’t release his name. don’t give him a single second of attention. quit publicizing these demons because it only inspires more.
