Treczoks comments on Cleveland Voted to Kill Its Flock Camera Network. They Have REMAINED ON, With Police Still Using Them

So your argument is that unless a majority of Americans own guns, you're not even allowed to correlate America with guns at all? What a dumb argument.

Nobody ever said that the majority of Americans own guns, they said that guns seemed like a more American solution than 1W+ lasers that could easily fry a camera from a distance.

Unless you have the numbers to suggest that more people have those kinds of lasers than the 100M+ people who have guns, then your point is meaningless.

At the end of the day this was an unserious suggestion to fire guns at utility poles made in jest towards a country with constitutionally enshrined gun rights and an unhealthy gun culture. Why be this uselessly pedantic about gun ownership statistics that nobody even mentioned or challenged?

They literally said "most people" in their first comment but thanks for the essay

You think in duality. You think in labels. Therefore you think ingroup/outgroup, and therefore you do not have developed the empathy skills to fully simulate "outgroup." You can't fully comprehend a person fundamentally different than you because of the möbiation of entanglement - which the Buddhists call defilement - ultimately creates dualistic dichotomy within the topological matrix of your mind, and therefore you will not notice the cognitive dissonance produced by that möbiation.

uh

Like, you can't comprehend that there's a person out there that doesn't think like you at all, in both good and bad ways. It's bizarre someone would even suggest these things to you. You scoffed at them, for you did not understand them with your underdeveloped empathy skill. Now go ahead and misinterpret what I just said so I can teach you further.

I'd be careful with that. Not sure how likely it is that the beam reflects and messes up ur eyes.

So there is a country with more guns than inhabitants, and they are afraid of a f-ing laser?

I would argue strong lasers are more dangerous than guns on average.

Depends on the definition of "strong".

If you mean "a laser that melts down the Flock camera into a steaming puddle", then I'd agree. But if you mean "a laser that kills a CCD chip", then no.
