not gonna lie- but if anyone shoots anyone else in the country without the act of self defense, no matter if youre black panther, klutz klan, the BLM movement, whatever youre associated or rogue, you will be charged with murder.

Whether they're punished or not doesn't quite matter to the dead person tho.))

true. but isn't it discrimination against everyone always?
I mean, a white man can murder another white man because he's jealous of what this other person has- because person A is poor and person B is rich
or black A shoots black B because black A was insulted by black B?
or a muslim 'radical' beheads another muslim because they wouldn't support the terrorism?
in a sense it doesn't matter who killed who, or what they are. they committed a crime, the person committing said crime will be charged with murder..
to say that Trump will use conversion forcefully isn't true. Besides, it has been said that Pence will make the offer to help those that want it; otherwise, from what I hear of the 'conversion' isn't true. What the definition is through therapy.
Unless we still have insane asylums and the world still uses insane asylums (which is actually considered inhumane and was the cause of billions of diseases and horrendous treatments because of the lack of medical knowledge), whats defined or been told to you isn't true.
As an American- I can assure you this.

(I did jinx it with my last post. Anyways, back to killing Larry)
Larry stood up and watched as the world blurred around him. It's not surprising that this happened. After all, this was the most likely outcome he thought as he tried to look at his surroundings. Maybe there was someone nearby? He couldn't tell for sure though, it might very well be a rock or a tree. He tried to talk, but only coughed up blood.

The difference is that Trump is hyping up all these racists and fascists to the point where that hypothetical murder wouldn't have happened if he'd lost. His supporters are mainly white men without college educations. So rednecks. That isn't an attack, that's a statistic. And rednecks are scary, man. It does matter who killed who. It isn't just murder, it's oppression. And if you're privileged enough to be able to look past that, I envy you. I really don't feel like debating right now, I'm tired, I'm disassociating, I just wanna go to sleep. Can we chill and coexist for a few minutes?))

Fascism: a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government
We don't have dictators- we have presidents that's been elected by the majority of the people.
--
I agree- I mean I don't think we were arguing actually I kinda like to hear your input too because its interesting to hear not from my next door neighbor
but rednecks aren't uneducated whitemen. rednecks were original union members during the mining session. the were called rednecks because they wore red bandanas to put over their faces just so they could breathe.
Edit: I still care for you Ace- I hope I didn't tick you off. you're really nice and caring.

No you're right, not fascists. White supremacists. Much better term. And conversion therapy isn't something that can be excused or deemed 'not harmful'. It's insinuating that gay people are sick and going to hell and they need to be saved and that's an inherent property of the concept and a man who tolerates that thought process could never be an ally. Trump is a privileged straight white male and there's really no nicer way to put it. He doesn't get it. I'm not googling stuff as I say it, I'm really out of it, man. I don't agree with everything you're saying and I don't think the origin of the word redneck is too relevant at this point buuuut let's not. Maybe tomorrow <3))

well I will agree there are some elites, but idk if its privelage. I wont get into the whole origin of my president, or even if pence is a hater or not, but I do realize that everyone has their own opinion and its okay to respect it. I respect your viewpoint Ace; though there are terrifying lights for even the running opponent of the Democratic party.
But I suppose there's that one saying where we wont know where we go when we die until we get there right?
sleep tight Ace, okay? don't fret- theres a fresh start tomorrow!

(heyo again ;3)
Mikel smiled as Belle left, but when she turned her back, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh, laying back against the pack as a pillow. He was so tired...and he really was hurting a lot. He was putting some strain on his leg when he was sitting up, so laying down now felt much better. Though, he could still feel the small discomfort of strain echoing in his leg as he leaned back more, and he grumbled. Well, he'd just have to get used to it until it healed. Of course, he'd had broken bones before. As a child, anyway. He remembered getting a broken arm when he landed the wrong way after trying to climb his wardrobe. He didn't remember why he was climbing it (maybe he was trying to play hide and seek with his little sister) but he fell and shattered the bone in his right arm. He remembered crying and screaming, thinking he was dying, until his parents took him to the hospital. After that, he was rewarded with a pop, which he sucked on while they were discussing the cast on his arm, and saying he was a "good boy" for not making a fuss. Yeah, he wouldn't make a fuss now, either. Though, he could feel tears prickle at his eyes at the thought of his mother and father. What did they think happened? God, what if they thought he was dead? It would...be so bad.
Oakley shook her head, nearly regretting it as she had to hold it when she felt light headed again, "No, no, it's fine. I'll just rest up a bit. Hopefully it'll get better soon. There may be some leaves around here that I could crush on them..." She thought suddenly, remembering some things she learned back in her old biology class. She had also studied up on herbs and healing when her father and brother stated they would be going hunting and she learned a lot from them, too. Maybe, if she remembered their appearance, she could collect some plants around her that may help them. "I can look around, try to find some natural remedies for wounds? After I stop feeling light headed, that is." She chuckled softly.

yeah Trump's just scary. You have to kind of see it from a lifetime of being looked down on by white people to understand my wariness and immediate opposition, y'know? Who knows, maybe he'll prove me wrong. But until that happens, he'll be the guy who bragged about assaulting women and not paying taxes and it's hard to brush that off. Sleep well, T, I'll talk to you kids tomorrow probably!))

(okay wow lots of political discussion here. Not to shoot y'all down or anything but I would like it if you could refrain from getting into that sort of thing on my threads in the future; could you please take it to PM or something next time? It's just that I am very, very passionate about that sort of thing and it's taking a lot of effort not to learn all y'all a thing in a very long ranty post, and this is kind of where I come to chill out, get away from all that, and NOT get into arguments about my political views, which for whatever reason tend to be surprising to people. Take from that what you will. In any case, I'm actually quite glad y'all are interested in that sort of thing and [hopefully] bother to actually research it to some degree, but here and now is not the place to discuss it. It stresses me out to see rl politics in my fantasy worlds lol.
On another note, what's been going on in the rp and where can Tobias- or any of my others- jump in?)

((Hiya all! Also ahhh i'm so sorry di-stri! like you i too am passionate (it's hard not to be when this kind of thing can impact one and one's family so much), though clearly not as well-restrained >.< you can probably tell i go on here to escape that stuff too though i am surprised that you would assume everyone didn't "bother" to do their research - i'm sure you have your reasons, but isn't it a little harsh to suggest everyone's been running their mouths without knowing what they're talking about? i don't know, maybe i'm just sensitive because i actually did read a lot on the topic and there's so much fear and hatred around me that i get a little defensive when that fear's invalidated ^.^'' don't listen to me
i don't think a couple of people replied to my posts so i'll just summarize them again ^.^ also i can probably switch Lindy back and forth between people, since i think i accidentally sent her to Larry and then Mycle and Belle while she was still talking to Oakley on the thought that the conversation was happening after the other so ^.^'' sorry))
Lindy nodded and smiled at Oakley. "That sounds amazing - though don't feel like you have to push yourself," she said. Then she walked over to talk to Mycle and Belle about the rock message, asked in a panic if they saw Riandylan, and then her eye was caught by movement. "Larry?!" she rushed over to him, watching in horror as he hacked up blood. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Well, clearly he wasn't okay, but that was the default question that sprang out of her mouth.
Meanwhile Ari and Shafer reach the top of the hill carrying Thana, with Ari responding to Kieran along the lines of, "I can probably help you with that." He with Shafer gently set Thana down near the others before hollering, "Whoever's the doctor here might want to check on this person!"

(Oh no, that's what I was saying was I'm glad that most of you seem to have done at least some research, or so I hope. I wasn't implying that you hadn't just, saying I hope you had. Sorry if it came off wrong. Though, truth be told, most people do tend to run their mouths without actually knowing what they're talking about; and reading it on Tumblr certainly does not count as research despite what many people seem to think lol. Not saying that's any of you, just that I have seen... quite a lot of that. But no, I wasn't accusing any of you of not knowing what you were talking about, just saying I'm glad you took an interest, even if I don't necessarily want to see it on this thread. The hopefully was just there as a sort of, "Idk if you fact check or not but I hope you do")

((ahaha, no problem ^.^ words are hard - fascinatingly only a tiny bit of human communication is in content, with voice and body language making up the rest, so ahhh sorry that i took your writing the wrong way, thanks for clarifying. I totally know what you mean though, Tumblr (and the internet in general) has so much information it's easy to take it without a grain of salt.
oh yeah, wanna roleplay a little? riandylan's somewhere on the beach, they can run into one of yours))

Once they reached the top of the hill, Kieran made sure Thana was safe before heading off. He didn't know the girl but he felt a sense of needing to protect her since he's the one that'd found her. Once certain, Kieran left the group, heading back towards the beach to see what items he could find to make a water filter or cleanser of some sort. He made no effort to hide his trek through the brush, finding his hand once again with the coral in his pocket. Kieran smiled as it hit his fingertips, remembering again the beach, which was far more populated and safe than the one he was on. And the girl. He never thought much about people, and while she was always a brief thought, somehow she kept coming back to him. He missed Australia. Why couldn't he have crash landed there? Instead he'd gone to America for the first time-- or attempted to. Clearly fate was against him, not that he actually believed in fate. Kieran didn't realize how deep in thought he was until his boots sunk into dry sand. Blinking, Kieran focused, seeing more figures that seemed to dot the beach. Could be logs, could be people, could be his head wound. Not that he'd hallucinated thus far. Kieran cupped his hands to his mouth, yelling in the general direction of the dark shapes. "Hello? Anyone there?"

Lindy blinked, uncomprehending for a moment as she stared at the blood (Why is he coughing up blood? she wondered in fear) before her brain sputtered back into action. "Oh! Right! I left it -" she spun around and hurried back to where she had set it down. She ran back, clutching the bag to her chest, feeling the supplies jump within. "Here it is - what's going on?"
Riandylan was running towards a couple of figures on the beach, waving their arms, but they didn't seem to see. They pouted, slowing to a halt and slouching. As they scanned the beach, they picked up a faint sound - their hand flew to their hearing aid, changing the setting. They looked around some more before seeing - more people! They beamed and began jumping and waving their arms.
