whyd you pick somewhat mixed cities instead of somewhere like Wilmette or Lincoln park or something

Because no one wants to think about the other Lincoln Park

And yet 750 people become victims of a violent crime during a burglary every single day. Odd


Oh yeah and 23 people are raped

You sure shot holes in my thesis that violent crime and rape are literally fictitious concepts.

the angry white dad with a gun fantasy lives on

Who's that riding in the sun?
Who's the man with the itchy gun?
Who's the man who kills for fun?
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad.

He sleeps with a gun
but he loves his son
Killed his wife 'cos she weighed a ton.
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad.

A little touched or so we're told
Killed his wife 'cos she had a cold
Might as well she was gettin' old
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad.

He's quick with a gun
And his job ain't done.
Killed his wife by twenty-one,
Psycho Dad!

Who's that riding in the sleigh?
Who's that firing along the way?
Who's roughing up bums on Christmas day?
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad

Who's the tall, dark stranger there.
The one with the gun and the icy stare.
The one with the scalp of his ex-wife's hair!
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad!

Who's that riding across the plain?
Who's lost count of the wives he's slain?
Who's the man who's plumb insane?
Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad, Psycho Dad

He's a durn good pa, but he hates the law.
He's likes to eat it raw,
He's Psycho Dad!

we gotta talk about what's happenin in chicago

ok

an occupation army called the Chicago Police Department is systematically assassinating black community leadership and terrorizing the rest while aligning itself as a gang in the drug trade in order to suppress the minority community

black communities are left to fend for themselves and against mercenary police informant drug gangs while the police regularly torture and kidnap their way to the destruction of the social fabric in Chicago.

Sounds like a dude with a gun should solve some problems. Glad there is a movie about that coming out. Just pretend all the drug dealers he is killing are plainclothes police officers and the move suddenly goes from "problematic" to "important."

yes but the nuance is that the cops are doing it to lower property values in minority neighborhoods so they can be prepared for "redevelopment"

this gives me a good idea for a death wish remake that would own but would never get made because it would scare the poo poo out of whitey

have the "hero" be a black guy and the "gang members" he targets be cops that are terrorizing his community

you could even have the impetus for him becoming a vigilante be his son getting killed by a cop and then the DA refusing to press charges

i'm amazed how hard it is to ruin a plot that's just "guy gets revenge by killing a bunch of people" and how this unnecessary remake managed to do just that

Ten weeks before Joe was released in the United States, a real-life mass murder with similarities to the movie's climactic scenes occurred in Detroit, Michigan. On May 7, 1970, a railroad worker named Arville Douglas Garland entered a university residence and killed his daughter, her boyfriend and two other students.[10]

During pre-trial deliberations, Judge Joseph A. Gillis saw Joe and strongly advised both the prosecution and defense teams to do the same. He then carefully screened each member of the jury pool and excluded any who had seen the movie. He also forbade any seated juror from watching the movie or discussing it with anyone who had seen it.[11] Although he brought with him multiple weapons and extra ammunition, Garland received a light sentence.[10]

Before and after sentencing, Garland received hundreds of letters from parents across the country who expressed sympathy with him. It was also reported that during the first weeks after his sentencing, he received no letters expressing outrage or condemnation of his actions.[12]

:captainpop:

hippy hate was very extreme.

A Gallup Poll taken shortly after the shootings at Kent State revealed that 58% of the respondents believed the responsibility for the deaths lay with the demonstrators; only 11% blamed the National Guard. As the author of a book about the shootings would later write, “These were the most popular murders ever committed in the United States.”
