I continue to be amazed by people who feel the need to carry guns everywhere accusing someone else of "living in fear."

Yeah, it was easier to turn a blind and take some easy cash than to enter a war with them. I think the mentality was that they mostly kill each other and don’t bother regular people that much outside of, you know, extortion and such.

conservatives are ALL ABOUT the free market but when it comes to protection rackets it BETTER be the one paid by, but not controlled by, the state for...some reason?

because that's what this comic is saying "oh no, if we defund the people that are taking our stuff, breaking our laws, and killing our citizens, who will protect us from the people that are taking our stuff, breaking our laws, and killing our citizens?"
at this point maybe i wanna see the mob's rates :shrug:

Genuinely can't tell if that's Allie genuinely not giving a single gently caress or Stantis trying to ape Allie's style because he's not helping anymore, and I'm not sure which one is sadder

I also like how years and years of cutting university budgets and forcing them to be run for profit has pushed the universities into this position (relying on full fee paying international students to prop them up) and somehow that's their fault. Not to mention pushing more and more of the responsibility for payment onto students.

I thought the whole argument with the right was you can't count on police anyway, which is why you need a handgun or several. "Only a good guy with a gun." and such.
