This was an odd inclusion:
Quote : | "In addition to Moore, the lawsuit lists a second, unnamed party as a defendant. It claims the second defendant trespassed on Lassiter's property to install a camera in a tree 'at an angle facing Plaintiff's house so that it could, upon information and belief, capture photos and video recordings of events inside and outside (Lassiter's) home.'" |

Quote : | " Sure, the #ncga can't manage to get its act together enough to pass a budget on time, but it did find time to come up with a new bill going after public libraries...#ncpol" |
Quote : | "BILL ANALYSIS: Section 7 would remove schools and public libraries from the list of organizations that have an affirmative defense to the offenses of disseminating harmful material to a minor and exhibiting a harmful performance to a minor. Employees or agents of schools and public libraries would also no longer have an affirmative defense to the offenses.
PART VIII. PUBLIC LIBRARY ACCESS FOR MINORS
CURRENT LAW: Chapter 125 of the General Statutes establishes requirements for public libraries. Library records, with some exceptions, are confidential.
BILL ANALYSIS: Section 8 would create an exception to library record confidentiality to allow parents to access the library records of their child. It would also require public libraries to do the following:
• Keep material harmful to minors in an age-restricted portion of the library inaccessible to minors. • Lend books to minors only with written prior consent of the minor's parents, which could be demonstrated by consent to receive a minor's library card." |

He ended up getting his tenants evicted after they never showed up to the court hearing, public records show. And a decade later he says they’ve still never paid him the roughly $2,000 in question.

Mental health -- sure I guess, but that doesn't on its own make a case for opposing certain gun control policies. See, you could have some sort of academic discussion on how 'wokeness' and society in general is affecting people, but that obviously wasn't what he meant. And also, even if it was 'wokeness', why are we even having 'wokeness' in the first place? Let's go back a century and see how people of certain types were treated.

only if that discussion is on how perpetually aggrieved folks on the right perceive “wokeness” and how they allow a bogeyman that doesn’t really exist to affect them so mightily8/29/2023 1:39:02 PM |

"when her father is someone who could make her safe" is so fallacious lmao at that point you can simply devolve any discussion revolving around policy into "youre killing people"
The buffalo shooter referenced gun free zones or something for why he chose his target, should pro gun activists now say that local ny politicians are choosing to keep targets of racist gun violence unsafe?
there's a basic level for conversation, but this is why it isn't worth getting into anything on social media in the first place.
also to the quote on the academic discussion, yes that's literally what I said when I said that he didn't mean anything proper with that woke comment, like how you described it as them making a bogeyman out of it. You could most definitely have a sociological conversation on how our changing ideals and society may be affecting this in a sociological sense, hence why I said academic. and then I further defended it saying that even if "wokeness" was a cause, that doesn't matter. not sure what the bone to pick there was 8/29/2023 5:30:01 PM |

he literally is someone who could make his daughter safer than she currently is, seeing as he has the power to vote for gun safety legislation
Quote : | " and then I further defended it saying that even if "wokeness" was a cause, that doesn't matter. not sure what the bone to pick there was" |
there is zero reason to play devils advocate on this. “wokeness” was not a cause. it’s a non-starter.

You're missing the point in what I said, I wasn't playing devil's advocate, just pointing out how many things can have any effects and that isn't the right way to attribute something to it -- in the defense of 'wokeness'. or any other ideology
and to the gun thing, I'd just say to re-read my point cause you didn't say anything new there.
