    Teddy bears don’t sleep with guns and make death threats.

    Also, fuck the post, it’s a conservative tabloid rag.

      I def downvoted and didn’t give this trash any clicks, but I think it’s an interesting point.

      That neighbor who you think is so nice? They could be a terrorist.

        the terrorists are usually nice and polite to their neighbors. The nicest, actually, because they don’t want you calling the city on an unmowed lawn or the cops for an over loud party.

        Incidentally… I’m guessing he wasn’t actually so nice, but they’re saying he was cuz he dead… and you’re supposed to say nice things about dead people. If he was actually nice, they’d be recalling specifics.

        EDIT: saved it to archive.org so no clicks need be given.

          They say you should only break one law at a time, but I don’t think making death threats against the President is one of them. And getting into a shootout with the police is two.

            certainly not credible death threats.

            edit to clarify… W recieved like four thousand threats a year, and Obama received about 12k, IIRC. I assume biden has received more. being threatened by randos on the internet is probably a daily occurrence. They only go after the most credible ones like this.

              “credible” lmao. The fbi just goes after whoever makes the best media hit pieces. They don’t give a damn about whether an actual threat exists.

        That neighbor anyone who you think is so nice, they could be a terrorist.

        FTFY

        That’s the thing with abusers in general - they are manipulators, and that applies not only to their victim, but to everyone in their life. Sure, many lack the control and let the mask slip (with or without the help of any substances like drugs or alcohol), but many more are able to keep everyone around them completely oblivious to how sinister they actually are. I would say with few exceptions, almost anyone in your life could turn out to be doing some really terrible stuff.

        E: there is also a specific side to that that this story touches on and that’s ableism, and how abusers often take on the role of carer (and/or martyr, if they didn’t have a choice) because that not only gives them access to a vulnerable person, it also gives them the halo of a “good person” that shields them from a lot.

      He died because he had a gun fetish. When the FBI came he couldn’t resist a shootout. It cost him his sorry life. And the FBI acquired his big gun collection. One less voter for Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump.
