At some point, one of these assholes will suggest arming criminals to defend themselves from other criminals.

(17,216 posts)You know, what I believe to be the real desire of people like Mr Ellison is that the lower orders would kill each other off; what he seems not to grasp is that if the lower orders kill each other off, who is going to mow his lawn?

(19,204 posts)What a stupid, STUPID idea. I'm going to have to get away from the computer for awhile. This is probably one of the most ignorant, myopic 'opinions' I've ever heard.
What a fucking idiot.

"Ellison said, he did not think the plan was dangerous." ! !
One thing for certain, "the plan" probably IS less dangerous by order of magnitude than THIS IDIOT!!!

But seriously, what the actual fuck is this ridiculous insanity that stands before me?
Now, instead of having to hold a sign asking for money, a homeless person can just introduce passers by to their weapon.

We all know he'll come back in a day or two and tell us that he was just joking.
The stupidity of this is such that I can't even stomach the idea of commenting on it.

Here's a better one, you'll save time. Re-target the US nuclear missiles to hit US cities and then get Kim Jung un to comment on trump's private parts.

mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)Seeing as they, by definition, have no 'home' and hence no 'safe place to leave ANYTHING' ... they not only would have to sleep with their gun coddled to their breast, they'd also have carry their gun everywhere they go AT ALL TIMES.
Which means, homeless people walking into the liquor store with shotguns slung over their shoulders.
Yeah, that is going to go over REALLY FUCKING SWELL with shop owners, Congressman Dipshit!
Also, cops are going to LOVE IT too when they go to clear the streets and find the homeless there are all armed.
"Pictured: A Total Dipshit" indeed.
