2nd Amendment NRA asshole gets 25 yrs to life for murdering young woman who accidentally drove up his driveway!

Society can not function if everyone is armed and feels empowered to fire upon anyone for the slightest perceived infraction.

This is why the Russians heavily fund the NRA, to destabilize American society and keep us in endless turmoil that cripples us politically. This is part of a larger strategy called asymmetrical warfare. This is what you do when you can not assault an enemy directly with conventional military forces.

My grandpa with dementia (and was an asshole before he got sick) has this persistent paranoid delusion that people are stealing from him. He accused the neighbor’s two kids of breaking into his garage and stealing his guns (all of the firearms have been removed from the house by my parents) which freaked HER out because it’s a serious allegation, she’s a single mom and they’re good kids. He accused a roofer of stealing his rake because she made the mistake of picking it up and using it. Several of these serious and semi-serious allegations that could get people in genuine trouble and it is so difficult to be empathetic and understanding with him because it’s hard to know how much of this is genuinely a result of his mental state declining and how much is just his assholery. Was he this paranoid before he got swept into the NRA our streets are in perpetual chaos hysteria? This man has never in his life been robbed, never a victim. In fact he was on the wrong side of the law for a long time. I dunno. It’s so difficult and complicated to try to unwind and process.

milagro!!! i LOVE GL!milagro stuff. is guy still the first GL she meets? i am v curious what his story (and john’s) ends up looking like in this au in general, but my first exposure to him was in jaime’s bb run so i’m hoping that pseudo mentorship still exists here somehow

IS!! THAT!! A GIANT!! GREEN!! FIST!!

Green Lantern Milagro is the most god-tier take and we need to return to it. My "Kyle rebuilds the GLC to be woke and Milagro is the most feral Lantern" idea is actually super old - I think it's in the Reverse Robins Universe, in some unpublished stories - but it's still good. Let the furries make the judicial system. Do it. Let them free.

Let's say:

Guy Gardner was the second Green Lantern on Earth. Everything that Hal was, Guy is not. He's a hothead, meathead, go-getting action hero wannabe who has to be the biggest, the best, and the strongest. He's abrasive, selfish, mean, and short-sighted.

Guy Gardner is exactly like Hal Jordan: an All-American hero, angry and rude in a way that his colleague John Stewart could never get away with. He's part of the NRA and thinks Trump has some points. Too wimpy to make a good President, though. Give him a President who can last five minutes in the ring with Guy Gardner!

Despite his differences with the more professional and cool-headed Hal, he was shocked and horrified at Coast City's destruction. Where other heroes expressed sympathies and turned away in discomfort with his overwhelming pain, Guy stayed with him. He doesn't like to spread it around, but he's a registered school councilor - doubled with his middle school gym teacher thing - and he stayed at Hal's side through his grief as long as Hal let him.

When Hal disappeared, Guy was the one who knew in his heart that he had killed himself. He had been expecting it.

He had not been expecting his ring to break.

Guy loses it all. His power, his respect. He can't go back to who he used to be. He's not a gym teacher or school counselor anymore. He's Guy Gardner. You can't ask Guy Gardner to be a civvie.

The only thing he keeps is his Justice League International membership. He wanted to quit, but his friends (family, but none of them would admit it) needed him to stay. They had already lost the second Blue Beetle so recently, and they can't lose anybody else. Booster Gold's grieving his husband too. In that way, in some way, Guy's still needed. Guy has to be needed. But Guy has to be a hero too, and he feels like he's dying slowly by degrees in powerlessness.

Then Booster calls the JLI, drunk as a skunk and deep in a panic, saying that there's this kid in El Paso running around with Dan Garret's scarab in his SPINE, how did this even HAPPEN, how did he get it WORKING, where the hell is TED - Ted's dead, he's still dead, what the FUCK do we do, he's a baby he's gonna DIE TOO, everyone's gonna DIE -

A gym teacher and licensed counselor knocks on he door of a house in El Paso.

Booster was right. Jaime Reyes is a snot-nosed kid who's getting his ass kicked up and down to Sunday in every fight, and either he's gonna get himself killed or he's gonna blow up the city. Nobody else but the JLI ever gave a shit about Ted, and nobody's gonna give a shit about this kid with an orphaned legacy. He needs a personal trainer and mentor and he needs one right now. Jaime Reyes needs a hero, even a washed up old asshole like Guy Gardner.

And his little sister throws a heck of a punch. Oh, Guy is keeping Milagro. She's learning boxing!

An asshole, shallow kid enters the scene. A new ring appears. The last Green Lantern disappears to find the truth. Guy leads his own life. It's not like his old one, but it's good. That kid Jaime's become a good hero, and his little sister is the coolest kid on the planet. A Trumper on the street says something shitty to Jaime and Milagro about illegals and Guy lands on him the signature Guy Gardner punch. Trump's an asshole idiot, anyway. Next time, Milagro lands the signature punch. She has learned well.

A young man returns. A truth is told. A fucked up orange ring is on Guy's finger. And now he'll have to learn how to be a hero all over again.

The orange ring isn't powered by bravery and willpower. It's powered by greed. It's a greedy, cruel ring. It's mean. But Guy's pretty greedy too. And Guy's a mean son of a bitch.

Guy Gardner is the first Orange Lantern. And he's everything Hal Jordan is not: a man with a voracious need to protect and help. A man with an endless appetite for love, and to give love. A school counselor, and a mentor to some pretty nifty kids. Guy can never get enough of being a hero. He'll never stop. And he'll always help.

Because he's Guy fucking Gardner!

Usually about 1500-2000 defensive gun uses are reported to authorities each year. If millions of people are using them for defense, they sure aren't concerned enough to let the police know.

But I also do not get this obsession with banning the AR-15.

I'm not opposed to banning any firearm. I'm at the "I don't care" stage when it comes to guns. But I do think it is a waste of time, energy, money, and political capital to isolate one gun and hoping that will solve much of anything.

Most shootings, mass or otherwise, take place within 10-20 feet. It doesn't matter much what gun is used at that point.

People think because so many mass shooters choose the AR-15, it must be part of the problem. But much in the way a lot of people get iPhones because that's what everyone else is using, mass shooters get the AR-15.

If they can't buy that anymore it's not like they are going to just give up. They're just going to buy a handgun that holds 20 rounds instead of a rifle that holds 30. And maybe a few less people will die from bullets going through multiple people or walls. Or they may just use a few more bullets to accomplish the same death toll. Hard to say. But the mass shooting problem will not go away and many are still going to die.

I guess this is more of a thing that "feels good" rather than an actual strategy to solve the problem. I don't know.

But I would start with universal background checks and red flag laws before a nebulous ban on certain guns we can not always define.

One thing is for sure, the NRA is a group of unhelpful, ghoulish assholes. They helped stop the CDC from studying gun violence and finding actual solutions for decades. They should all burn in hell.

Just finished Fall of the House of Usher and I think you’d probably really enjoy it this October! Imo it’s not Mike’s best or most impactful work by a long shot (I believe that honour lies with Midnight Mass), but it’s Flanagan operating on the most fun, mean-spirited, queer, campy, and cynical level he’s ever been on

It’s like if Succession was made by someone who really wanted all those rich assholes get their deeply karmic comeuppance, no matter how on the nose or predictable, and really it’s all the better for it

Yeah, Succession with ghosts and whatnot is exactly the vibe I got from the trailer, and I'm really looking forward to it. I got sidetracked by Goosebumps, and had a blast with the first batch of episodes, House of Usher is next. Unless I get distracted again by, I dunno, Haunting Hour or something. I'll try not to.

I'm of the mind that genre tropes can and do add whole new levels of catharsis to grounded stories, satire, drama, or anything else under the sun. They give you freedom to do more direct and palpable stuff that simply won't work within the realistic, non-genre framework. To be more blunt, more heightened, occasionally corny, and way more fun, be it pop-marxist horror or NRA power fantasies in any given zombie flick. (It cuts both ways, whatcha gonna do.)

It's just way more satisfying to, say, have a character actually, literally, in 4K get eaten alive than make a thoughtful parable on the exploitative nature of something or other. Or have someone actively die and come back wrong on Easter in a "my religious upbringing did not affect me whatsoever why are you looking at me like that" limited series on Netflix. And Flanagan gets it, and he has my undying loyalty.

"I wouldn't be upset at all if the children of this horrible person died in a way related to the say the politician is horrible" is a fucked up thing to say.

Like.

Children are people in their own right, regardless of who their parents are, & "it would serve that asshole right if his kid died from a school shooting/botched abortion/covid/whatever" is a fucking evil thing to say even if he's a pro-NRA/anti-choice/anti-vax/whatever.
