They’d also be more famous and considered anti-heros, like the punisher, instead of cold blooded child murderers no better than the Epstein class.

    School shooters are largely children, for whom it is much easier to steal daddy/mommy’s gun and go to school than it is to:

    • steal the gun
    • pick a cromulent target
    • acquire info about the target
    • actually travel to wherever he is
    • get past the probable armed guards
    • get close enough with the gun to kill the guy

    Like it’s not impossible, almost nobody is completely untouchable, but one is clearly easier than the other. I mean like you’re not wrong, but good luck with that, it’s not likely.

      They can’t possibly stop school shooters, but they’re definitely going to try to stop wealthy pedo shooters.

        In minutes they’d call every such killer a “trans extremist” and soon after they’d disarm trans people entirely. They’ve been itching for an excuse to actually do that one.

    That really relies on their ability to accurately identify a pedo. The moral panic in which people are being called pedos for anything and nothing is still going on even though we have learned that the Epstein conspiracy was huge and horrible.

    Now if they only targeted the people heavily present in the files, yeah probably they’d be seen as heroic

      Just decide that anyone with a net worth over a certain amount is a pedo, and if they don’t want to be labeled and hunted as such, they need to publicly denounce the other rich pedos.

        Most MAGA are just dumbfucks who would change their “values” 180-degrees if given the right emotional narrative to follow, they’re literally just children themselves, clad in machismo and vile rhetoric.

        The evil pedo-aligned people who need to be targeted (with legal repercussions) are the grifters and pipers all over youtube, twitter, cable news and radio.

        We really need to be careful about this "kill all pedos’ narrative while living in a climate where they are working feverishly to label basically anyone they don’t like but especially LGBTQ+ people as “pedophiles.”

          MAGAs are all Pedophiles. I won’t pretend otherwise because you’re afraid of what they MIGHT do in response. Surrendering in advance is what got us here.

          ALL MAGAs are Pedophiles, and it’s time to get on board with it. I’m really, really sick of this Liberal obsession with being POLITE to literally the most evil people on our planet. They are psychotic, they hate us irrationally over their own fantasy bullshit, and they literally want to KILL US ALL!

          Stop demanding that we be polite to them. GET ANGRY!

          Hard No. If you support, defend, protect, and vote for Pedos, you’re a Pedo. You don’t get to say, “I was too stupid.” Pedos are Pedos, no matter how stupid they are. That’s part of the problem, evil smart people think it’s okay to be Pedos, because they’re smarter, richer, and better than everybody else.

          If you’re MAGA, you’re a Pedophile.

            No. Literally, some are just fucking stupid being swayed by propaganda and a lack of insight on what’s actually happening. (yes, it is incredibly stupid of them, but last I checked, being a moron wasn’t a crime punishable by death)

            When everyone is out to find enemies, the last thing you should want is to appear just as bull-headed and judgemental as the Nazis trying to paint entire other groups as bad.

            To other ignorant morons that aren’t supporting MAGA, you make it harder to distinguish who the good guys are when you are doing just as much guilt by association.

              This is sooo easy, but Liberals are sooo weak. They support, defend, deny, and VOTE FOR people they know are pedophiles. Whether they do it out of stupidity or as willful supporters isn’t relevant.

              If you have an active pedophile in your house, and you know they are bringing home children to molest under your roof, and you deny it, support them, make excuses for them, etc. You are aiding and abetting their pedophilia, and you are a pedophile yourself. Maybe you aren’t actively molesting them, but you are helping it happen, and maybe THAT’S your perversion. Either way you are part of that world.

              Being stupid doesn’t get you off the hook for supporting pedophilia, or every MAGA will just plead ignorance.

          Stop giving them any benefit of the doubt, stop pretending they’re innocent little children that don’t know any better. They are full grown adults who are culpable in their associations, and choices.

          Republicans have chosen to associate with rapists and child rapists. Has chosen to defend them, and give them shelter.

          Republicans/maga are child rapists.

            Oh I’m not. It was two things:

            1. A joke to call them fucking stupid, which they are.

            2. A plea to not use the same exact logic a fucking stupid person does. When the Paradox of Tolerance is in full swing, the last thing you want to do is appear to be no different than a Nazi with blanket judgement to a dumbass third party.

            There is a reason there were Nuremberg trials and not just mass executions of Nazis.

    In a similar vein, if you’re trying to protest the power structures by looting and burning buildings and you see a 7-11, turn left. Keep turning left until you come across upscale detached residential buildings, with private drives and gates. Then resume the riot.

      Well, approximately 288 unique clients have been identified this far.

      So probably more like a month.

      But there is a good possibility that we could find further pedophile networks; as it appears that they might have had multiple suppliers that would poach Epstein’s trafficked children and compete against him.

      It’s certainly a dystopian failed-state ass take on a justice system, but I’m sure that if the 99% were given the choice between a school or health insurance board room, they’d pick the corporate parasites 100% of the time.

      That’s why the Epstein class is so afraid of Luigi and the concept of the propaganda of the deed.
