^go for it dude !! I’m down to help if you need anything
gonna skate this weekend , hopefully going on a mini mission with an old friend and his son . If not , I’ll be in the hyperbolic time chamber (backyard fun box sesh) relearning tricks .
@glorydays damn yo i can’t fuck with anything but the aftermarket Indy (red 88a) soft bushings - I need my trucks to turn so I can carve in the streets !
I use Dohdoh's 95 hard...they have enough give but it doesn't allow for wheel bite. I use Indy Silvers for my trucks size 139, I have a 7.75 board. I used to ride 8.0

I have always wanted to give it a try, but I am scared that I might get hurt. Balancing is really not my thing, I guess I will be stuck on playing subway surfer.
you should try....most shops sell completes for the low
and you should never limit yourself

Yea, I'm sure they'll do whatever it takes to restrict/deny every one of the constitutional rights until the day there are none left. For now, at least somebody is fighting back, and trying to delay that inevitability.
I agree with that...I have to read up on more legislation on gun restriction

The requirement for a serial number doesn't apply to weapons you manufacture yourself. You only need a serial number, and a federal manufacturer's/dealers license for weapons that are sold, not weapons you make yourself, or even weapons you give away for free.
There's no laws in place to restrict what they're doing, and technically you need to break a law first to have what you're doing considered illegal. I believe that's the point.
I didn't know that. That's really interesting.
but the law is a deterrant, so who knows what new legislature they'll come out with next. They're probably going to make a new license you'll need to acquire to manufacture your own guns, or a fee for every gun you make yourself or something like that.

i believe in everyone's right to own a gun...but within the confines of the law.
By having unregistered guns, i believe that's illegal
What's not illegal are the plans for 3D printers. That shouldnt be banned for obvious reasons.
But using the plans? That's another thing entirely.

I think anger is in our DNA. Like all other facets of the human condition (including evil), so of us have more of it and others have less of it. In addition to it being inherent in humans, I do believe like most of the other facets of being human, it is either repressed or amplified according to environment and especially personal experience.
Example, its somewhat obvious and well documented how susceptible a child is towards wrong when growing up in an impoverished environment. This stokes the flame of the negative attributes of the human condition and very often leads to that individual growing up to be a criminal or have criminal tendencies. Not always, but often.
Now take someone that has the unique DNA that allows a propensity towards true evil. Perhaps that person grows up in some family living in the affluent suburbs of Connecticut and this quality remains dormant. Perhaps that same individual grows up in the hood, mentored by criminals, abused physically and emotionally by family and exposed to all manor of violence and goes beyond just growing into being a criminal, but rather becomes a super predator.
I think this is how shit works. 10% of society (in general terms) are scumbags. They're *mostly* kept in check by the fear of consequence as applied by civil society. 10% of that 10% are actually evil and consequence doesn't have much affect on their thought process or urges. Put in the correct environment and / or circumstance and you amplify that potential / propensity exponentially.
Opposite also holds true... You think Steve Jobs would have ever become the person he's known as if he grew up in a shitty suburb of Sarasota, Florida for example? I personally believe people like him had the right DNA, which was fully realized in terms of its potential by also having the correct environment and series of experiences to amplify it to its extreme.
In regards to the bag of shit we're discussing here... Another example of how evil exists as part of the human condition. You can study it, rationalize it and maybe in some circumstances suspend or suppress it, but you sure as fuck will never legislate it away.
Your choice is to depend on a stranger for your personal safety or take that responsibility up for yourself. Nothing available to us helps equalize a situation quite as well as a firearm and proper training.
Other option is to play the odds (admittedly its unlikely that evil like this will show up on your own door step (so to speak), but if it does... You really want to sit around cowering in the bathroom and hope that someone shows up in time to help prevent your life from being extinguished?
I agree with you...there are factors about this criminal's life that I don't and will never fully understand. the circumstances regarding the decisions he made that day, and I agree with you, will never be fully understood. And I don't think, with my confusion over the subject, that i'll even be able to touch the legality of all of this.
I am fully behind self-defense, and the right for others to do so. But in regards to what's happened here, I don't think i'll ever get close to wrapping this around legislation of any kind.
If it were up to me, I would've shot him immediately after he drew his weapon.

this is one of the more interesting sub-cultures ive only really glanced at
My glancing interest in this stuff came from reading HP Lovecraft novels. He places a lot of emphasis on mandalas and shapes that hold religious meanings.

Somewhat agree, think Anger is a natural behavior from birth brought on by our emotions. Most likely served as a genetic advantage to have this instinct before civilization. You have to learn/be taught to control it.
In much the same way you have to learn to shit in a porcelain bowl, and not your pants. If you grow up around a bunch of lawn squatters, you might not learn how to shit properly yourself. Likewise if you're too old for temper tantrums, but your parents accept that behavior because they still have them, you'll likely not learn how to control yourself also.
once you leave your parents tho...you use the pattern of learning from others to "fit in"...so if you immerse yourself in a sub-culture that interests you, though, wouldn't it make sense to copy those around you?
when in rome, do as the romans do

My cousin is like this,,, we were playing board games at a family gathering and he was IRATE.
I was thinking, you wouldn't last a fucking minute playing Counter Strike or any othe game w me.
I hope he can learn to control his emotions though because he is in for a hard time.
I feel that the anger is taught or learned behavior, but not from the games itself but from other people who showed the same signs of aggression during game play

You’re right. Can’t win
all and eventually you always meet your match. That’s how you get better though, if you always played less skilled players it would get dull pretty quick. I think he had some other serious underlying issues obviously
correct me if im wrong but it happened in Florida and he was from Maryland. It stands to reason there was some premeditation involved or else why travel with a firearm across state lines
I agree...I think he planned this out
which further pushes away the fact that he's mentally ill

I get that these guys' winning or losing affects their fragile egos and sense of self worth but wtf man
I feel it bro....its just a game
the annoying thing is, they're blaming the video game and not the toxic environment of gaming itself
ive been playing videogames online and the shit talk gets real

Just now, Kults said:
I wonder what was said to egg him on or push him over the edge( not that it justifies any of it). I know the trash talking can get heated in online games but damn. Witnesses are saying he def targeted specific individuals but shot at pretty much everyone once those two were hit. Oddly enough neither of the fatalities were people he had lost to in the tournament.
yea...he hit the reigning champ and shot the guy who was second in line
he probably reeeaaaallly wanted to win that bracket

Just now, Kults said:
He wasnt a nobody in that scene either, he was the champ of some division last year. Imagine rage quitting that hard the fuck man
exactly....the dude had GOOD standing in that community, which meant he was clear headed and deliberately made those choices that day
-
that dude was beyond salty
and let's not throw the mentally ill under the bus for this one.
People who were close to the shooter said he was a normal dude and just "snapped"
