Perma banned from r/Libertarian and a 3 day site suspension for saying "The cop would have had to shoot me too after that. Gun or no gun, I would have beat him within an inch of his life until I succumb to my wounds. My dogs are part of my family." In response to a posted video of an Ohio LEO shooting and killing a Golden Retriever in front of her owner, while smiling and wagging its tail. Absolutely horrific watch.
ETA: I still can't get the images from this video out of my head. If you love animals, do not watch it, it will only anger you and upset you for days. I meant what I said and to be banned by a Libertarian sub for saying it was a kick in the balls.
Oh, the irony
And that's why it was the nail in the coffin.
"I dunno this seems pretty intense for -- wait, protecting your family? Your pets?! They did what to that dog?! Nevermind then, this isn't intense enough."
My mental processing of your comment as I read more and more
Yeah, it does seem intense without context. What's worse is that you're just reading a description, whereas they (the mods) saw the video.
It makes total sense to me after reading the whole comment. I'd have the same reaction
