I had a sign in my yard that said “protect trans kids”

After 4 months of it being in my yard, someone stole it and dumped trash in my yard.

I wanna get a new sign, but I’m afraid I’ll get worse treatment than before.

Install cameras, buy a drone, and the next time you catch one defacing your yard, follow them home with the drone. Now that you have their address, you can go in when they’re sleeping and shit in their shoes.

Put a bigger one out there. And install a security camera.

If you get video of someone doing it, the police won’t want to look at it though. Video of someone doing stuff might be used in civil court if you know who it is and you sue. Mostly you’ll just get to watch someone vandalize your property and get angrier.

I do need to get cameras for multiple reasons. I can’t get a bigger sign, unfortunately. The organization only has them in one size. I am going to get a bunch and just have a stockpile to replace them immediately.

Why is that great?

That’s two lives lost. That’s horrible. And for what? Some stupid ideology? What a waste.

Well, of course he didn’t mean it’s great that the lady got shot. Folks in this thread seem to like the instant karma aspect of him getting gunned down by the cops. I can understand the visceral appeal of that - I mean fuck that guy - but my head knows that death by cop, on the scene of the crime, is not the justice system we want.

Unfortunately the options aren’t 2 or zero, they are 2 or 1.

If the killer lived they would have used their trial and incarceration as a platform to spew further hate.

I assume since that won’t be happening now, that’s what op is celebrating

All very true but should we really celebrate death by cop without a trial? I’m as disgusted as anyone by this crime but I also really fucking hate and distrust cops. Did they for sure get the right guy?

The suspect was also killed by police shortly after…

Can’t say I feel bad for him, but I’m guessing his death is cold comfort to the family & friends of the victim.

All he would have done is kept the cold civil war going. It’s best he’s gone.

I don’t like wishing death on anybody but in this case it’s just a fact, not a wish

Killed by a cop saves taxpayers a lot of money.
