I’m in support of making sure my kids are safe. When someone says something like this, even in frustration, I don’t know if they intend to act on it. I’d rather everyone be safe.

It was absolutely stupid of this teacher to fuck up like this.

But I’d rather the police show up and check on her than have yet another school of bloodied, dead kids.

But you do you.

Oh quit with the haughty hypocritical bullshit. There is no way you have gone your entire life without venting or joking about committing an act of violence against someone or some evil company. Maybe we shouldn’t crucify people for ordinary human behavior. Morbid humor is just part of human communication. If you actually have never done so, I would think there’s something deeply psychologically wrong with you. Like you’re obsessed with appearances and carefully choose every single word to control your public image to the most minute degree.

It’s okay, you do t have to agree with me.

Safe from what? A joke?

But I’d rather the police show up and check on her than have yet another school of bloodied, dead kids.

Has there been any case like this? Or are you just pulling something out of nothing?

So there has to be a case like this for you to think hmmm maybe we should be cautious?

Wow.

well you better watch out for the boogieman

Yawn

I’d rather everyone be safe.

Everyone except anyone who’s made a joke you personally find distasteful, apparently.

When the thought police come for you, I hope no one lifts a finger.

Jokes are funny.

This, wasn’t a joke. Maybe it was frustration. But it wasn’t a joke.

Funny is subjective.

This was a joke, and so is your bullshit attempt to justify punishing thoughtcrime.

Only thing less “funny” than this “joke” is the fact that people like you think it’s okay.

There is NO context in which this would be “funny”.

An example that comes to mind is mockery. People generally find mockery of behaviour/ideas that they find nonsensical to be funny. So if someone proposes that everything can be solved by a good guy with a gun, you can then mock the idea by proposing it for increasingly ridiculous scenarios.

I have joked to my wife that our kids are lucky they’re so cute so we don’t throw them out of the window during a heavy day of misbehavior.

Obviously we wouldn’t ever do that (even if they weren’t so cute), so the joke is cathartic and can be funny in the right context.

The teacher in the context of school said “shoot” the kid. What a sick thing to even think. Whoever thinks that’s okay has some deep rooted issues.

Not as deep rooted as the person who thinks AI snitching and automated police response to a private conversation is ok.

I hope the thought police come for you one day. And I hope absolutely nobody lifts a finger to help you because they don’t approve of whatever you were doing that the thought police came after you for.

Everyone gets outraged when someone shoots up a school then outraged again when it turns out the fbi has been watching them and “didn’t do their job”. Can’t fucking have it both ways.

Someone says “shoot” a kid, they deserve to be questioned.

Every mother fucking time

There’s a difference between “the FBI is watching this person because they present a real or at least realistic threat” and “social media ratting someone out to the state bcs of a joke”.

Idgaf how poor you find the taste of the joke, nobody deserves to be questioned under those circumstances.

Someone says they approve of the thought police, that person should have the entire contents of every device they own made public. Every mother fucking time.

Is it so much worse to say “shoot” than “throw them out the window”?

It’s a kid! You don’t say either!

Fuck off. Like you’ve never said you want to throttle someone without ever actually wanting to.

I have not. That’s just fucking weird. And violent. And that is NOT what was said here. So don’t move the goal post. The teacher specifically said “shoot”. Who the fuck even jokes about shooting someone!? That’s sick.

When someone says something like this, even in frustration,

All teachers have vented in a way that you would probably find disturbing.

The same way people in the medical profession make dark jokes. Sometimes people vent like this to cope.

Now, putting it in text shows a shocking lack of judgment.
